Chase has the United Explorer card back at its higher offer: up to 80,000 bonus miles (the page shows 60,000 struck through). You get 70,000 after $3,000 in purchases in the first three months, plus 10,000 more for adding an authorized user in that same window. The annual fee is $0 the first year, then $150, so you can test-drive it for a year at no cost. Day-to-day perks include a free first checked bag, two United Club one-time passes a year, Group 2 boarding, and up to 9X total miles on eligible United flights (3X on other United purchases). $3k in three months is easy for most households, which makes this one of the better mid-tier airline offers right now. If you live in United Club lounges, the United Club card is running up to 100,000 miles too (90,000 after $5,000 in three months plus 10,000 for an authorized user), but its fee is $695. Chase lists no end date for either offer, and its usual bonus eligibility rules apply, so check the offer details before you apply. More deals at Points Quest.
