## Summary
The United Explorer Card offers up to 60,000 bonus miles for new cardmembers. You get 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months, plus 10,000 more if you add an authorized user in that same window.

- If the account is not open for at least 6 months, Chase and United can deduct the bonus miles.
- The 10,000-mile authorized-user bonus is only awarded once regardless of how many users are added.
- Annual fee is waived the first year, then $150.
