United Mileage Credit Cards - Step 1

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING - Chase has a hard rule that you are not allowed to be approved for more than 5 cards, including authorized users, within 24 months.  Please confirm that the ONLY Chase card you have had in the last 24 months is the United MileagePlus Explorer card and confirm that you are not authorized users on each other's accounts.  If so, let me know immediately so i can adjust this plan.

Note:  This plan has a high spending requirement over the course of 3 months.
