Conclusion
This is the highest welcome offer from this card, so this is a good opportunity for those that are invested in the MileagePlus program. You can get 85,000 miles after spending $3,000 and paying the annual fee of $95.
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 United MileagePlus miles plus gain access to some perks while flying United. With that said, I would probably got for other bonuses, such as this one.
