Conclusion
A good offer, but you need to spend a total of $10K in order to get the whole 65,000 miles. You do get 6 months to complete that spending though. This gets close to the best ever offer we have seen for this credit card.
Keep in mind that the Chase 5/24 rule does apply here, so not many people will be eligible to apply. But if you are under 5 cards in the last 24 months, then it could be a good opportunity to earn some United MileagePlus miles plus gain access to some perks while flying United.
