» This offer has expired

The limited-time offer described in this article expired in March 2019. See our details page for the United℠ Business Card for the current offer.

United Airlines and Chase have refreshed a small-business version of the airline’s co-branded credit card with a generous limited-time sign-up bonus.

Until March 18, the United℠ Business Card is offering the following Limited Time Offer: Earn 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open.

With a round-trip domestic economy flight typically costing about 25,000 miles, the bonus alone could be good for three free flights. Or you could likely get at least one domestic flight in first class.
