For calculation purposes, please note that as of February 2010, the CARD Act requires credit card companies to use customer credit card payments to pay off the highest APR portion of their balance first, which is more favorable for the customer. | ||||

| One Time Bonus |
$0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| * Cardholders that make $1,000 or more in purchases within the first three months will earn the advertised bonus miles. Creditnet estimates that one bonus mile is earned for every $1 spent with this card, making the estimated value of this the one time bonus worth $300. | ||||

One free checked bag on United Airlines flights is worth $25, with up to $50 in savings each trip for an assumed total of $200 each year. | ||||
| Balance Transfer Cost |
-$0.00 | -$0.00 | -$0.00 | -$0.00 |
| * For Balance Transfer Cost calculations, we take the specific balance transfer fee associated with a card to determine the cost. Once this balance transfer cost is calculated, we deduct this value from the total savings amount. Please note that we only factor in this cost if a user intends to transfer a balance, as determined by selecting "Yes" under "I want to carry a balance" in your "My Credit Card Profile". | ||||
| Annual Fee |
-$0.00 | -$95.00 | -$95.00 | -$190.00 |
| * Annual fee costs are only deducted from your total savings when a card includes an annual fee. Credit cards that waive the annual fee for the first year have also been accounted for in our calculations. | ||||

Creditnet's Expert Rating & Review
Our favorite feature is the bonus miles; 30,000 bonus miles after spending $1,000 in your first three months, and another 5,000 miles after you use the card and add a second authorized user within three months of the account opening.. If this sounds like your budget and you're a frequent flier, this travel rewards credit card is worth taking a look at.
Least Favorite Features:We're never crazy about an annual fee, but the $95 fee is waived your first year and it puts it in line with other airline miles credit cards on the market today.
Our Final Take:If you like flying United and you prefer the privileges of an airline-branded credit card, the Chase United Mileage Plus Explorer Card is a strong travel rewards credit card from Chase.
