Authorized User Bonus for Chase United Cards
Emails are going out to Chase United cardholders with an offer to earn 10,000 bonus miles for adding an authorized user. There’s no direct link, so you just need to check your inbox.
Offer Details
Earn 10,000 bonus miles when you add a new authorized user to your United credit card by June 30, 2026. For the first authorized user added to your account, you will earn 10,000 bonus miles. Any additional authorized users added to your account during the promotional period will not earn bonus miles. Bonus miles will not exceed 10,000 bonus miles.
Guru’s Wrap-up
This is an easy bonus. You get 10,000 miles just for adding an authorized user.
Just remember that you’re fully liable for any charges the authorized user makes, so only add someone you trust. With this bonus you don’t even need to make a purchase so you don’t need to give them the physical card. Once the bonus is secured, you can remove the authorized user at any time without affecting your account standing.
Another thing to note is that if someone adds you as an authorized user on their card, that account may show up on your credit report and count against your own 5/24, potentially blocking you from being approved for new Chase cards. You can just call the Chase reconsideration line and ask them to exclude authorized user accounts from their review, which they’re often willing to do.
