United MileagePlus Explorer Card offers unique and unmatched benefits that enhance the Cardmember travel experience at the airport and beyond.
New MileagePlus Explorer Cardmembers will earn 25,000 MileagePlus bonus miles after their first use of the Card. In addition, Cardmembers can earn 5,000 additional bonus miles after adding an authorized user and using the MileagePlus Explorer Card within two months of opening the account. The $95 annual fee for the new MileagePlus Explorer Card will be waived for the first year on a promotional basis. New MileagePlus Explorer cards will be exclusively Visa Cards.
MileagePlus Explorer Cardmembers receive special privileges when traveling on United including first checked bag free*, priority boarding, free one day passes to United airport club lounges and the ability to redeem MileagePlus miles for any seat, any time, on any United flight, with no restrictions and no blackout dates. If seats are available for sale, they can be redeemed by Cardmembers at the Standard Award level. In addition, miles earned in the MileagePlus program by Explorer Cardmembers will not expire as long as program members are MileagePlus Explorer Cardmembers.
The MileagePlus Explorer visa Card also offers benefits that extend through the entire travel experience, including access to The Luxury Hotel and Resorts Collection from Chase, which offers special Cardmember-only amenities at over 700 properties in the U.S and around the world. Beyond these special travel privileges, the MileagePlus Explorer Card also offers enhanced travel and purchase protection coverage and a suite of benefits that cater to the lifestyle needs of the affluent customer. This includes a dedicated concierge service available 24/7 to help with such things as simple gift ideas to restaurant and local entertainment recommendations anywhere in the world.
In addition, Explorer Cardmembers will have the opportunity to attend private, once-in-a-lifetime experiences through a new benefit called Inside Access from Chase. Cardmembers will enjoy exclusive access to the best in concerts, Broadway performances and culinary events; the opportunity to meet and mingle with industry notables; and even get rare, behind-the-scenes views into the world of professional sports and high fashion. Events will be offered throughout the year and can be previewed at www.insideaccess.com.
These MileagePlus Explorer Card benefits are also available on the Continental Airlines OnePass Plus Card. The OnePass Plus card will be offered through 2011, and Cardmembers will continue to enjoy full benefits in 2012. In addition, a MileagePlus Explorer Business Card is available.
