United Business Card launches with 2X earn on United, gas, office supply stores, restaurants, local transit and commuting, $100 annual United travel credit, 100,000-mile new Cardmember offer, and more

United Explorer and Club Cards will have new Cardmember offers of 60,000 and 75,000 miles, respectively

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chase Card Services, the leading co-brand credit card issuer in the U.S., and United Airlines today introduced the all-new UnitedSM Business Card, designed to help business travelers maximize their miles. The new card will offer 2 miles per $1 spent on local transit and commuting, in addition to 2 miles per $1 spent at gas stations, office supply stores, restaurants and United purchases. New Cardmembers will also be eligible for a 100,000-mile bonus offer. To celebrate the new card launch, United and Chase are also offering special bonus-mile offers for new Cardmembers for the United Explorer Card, United Club Card and the United Club Business Card.

“We’re excited to launch the all-new United Business Card designed to help small business owners get even bigger rewards from their business expenses and travel,” said Luc Bondar, United's Vice President of Loyalty. “This card was designed to give small business owners even more ways to earn double miles in areas where they are already spending, allowing them to earn miles faster that they can use to travel to hundreds of exciting destinations United serves around the world.”

The new United Business Card will have the following benefits, which go beyond the benefits currently offered on the United Explorer Business Card:

  • 2 miles per $1 spent on United purchases, gas stations, office supply stores, restaurants, and now expanded to include local transit and commuting (which includes taxicabs, mass transit, tolls and ride share services)
  • *New* 100,000 bonus miles after $10,000 in purchases in the first three months from account opening (limited-time offer ends 4/2/2020)
  • *New* 5,000 miles each Cardmember anniversary when you have both the new United Business Card and a personal Chase United Card
  • *New* $100 annual United travel credit after seven United flight purchases of $100 or more
  • 25% back on United inflight purchases (includes Wi-Fi, food and beverages)
  • No blackout dates
