Chase United Explorer Card Review (2019)

This is a detailed review of the Chase United Explorer Card. I cover things like the sign-up bonus, bonus spending, and benefits like lounge passes, free checked bags, and many others.

Three years later, this is still the best review for this card. 💪🏾

On my United app it show I will earn 5 miles per dollars for United purchase . Plus the 2 x on explorer so that is 7x per dollar spend . It is better than CSR . Please correct me if I am wrong

do all the united explorer card perks apply only to united? or other airlines aswell??

[headsuphockeypodcast]

I travel a lot to Europe every other year versus domestic. United when I used my Venture card basic card doesn’t cover baggage fees. I spent 60 dollars 💵 with United. Now I got approved in seconds for the card because I used my 784 Credit Score to my advantage

Do you have to book a United flight to get reimbursed for flight cancelation or delay?

I booked United basic economy with United explorer, do I get free checked bag?

Do we lose those points saved every calendar year?

I have united card for 3 years. recently I got reserve card. I found many perks these two cards overlap. should I cancel united card?

[JRBKLYN]

do I have to purchase the ticket with the united card in order to get the free checked bag, or can I purchase the ticket with the amex platinum for the 5x back ???

What credit score should you be at to get this card ?

Like the host was saying CSR gives 3x for travel, would I still be able to take advantage of the priority boarding and free check bags even if I use non United Explorer card? Thank you!

[kwfown]

Would I need to book the flight with the Explorer card in order to get the priority boarding or free checked bag perk?

Would a balance transfer boost your mileage points?

Is there a way to combine points for both this and the CSP card? I've had the explorer card for about six years and I'll soon be receiving the CSP, but I don't know if I need to adjust my spending or not (which card to put the most expenses on), or whether I can combine the points for both cards and it's no loss to use one or the other. All my points are obviously racked up on the explorer right now.
I've read mixed information online here and they're saying it's good to have all of your cards be 'Chase' cards because you can combine points for all of them.
And I don't really understand the difference between the 'travel points' I earn with the explorer vs. (ultimate reward?) points that you earn with the sapphire preferred.
I guess I really don't know how to maximize the use of having both of these cards, if you could help explain this?

What is the average credit score needed to qualify? Im hovering around 710 & FICO 715 with 13 months of sold auto payment history, have no Chase cards & only one other basic non secured CC without rewards with Capital One since last October in good standing.

How do the miles you get transfer over to dollars?

[indybeliever]

Do you think the card will increase the bonus soon? I see that it is now at 40, 000 points.
