United℠ Explorer Card
Travel benefits
The benefits that come with being a United℠ Explorer Cardmember make it easier than ever to travel smart.
Free checked bag — a savings of up to $160 per roundtrip
The primary Cardmember and one companion traveling on the same reservation will each receive their first standard checked bag free (up to $40 value for the first checked bag, each way, per person) on United-operated flights when purchasing tickets with their United Explorer Card. See united.com/ChaseBag for details.
25% Back on United Inflight and InClub Purchases
Pay with your United Card and get 25% back as a statement credit on purchases of food, beverages and Wi-Fi onboard United-operated flights and on purchases of premium drinks in United Club locations.
Global Entry, TSA PreCheck® or NEXUS fee credit — up to $120
Get a statement credit every four years as reimbursement for the application fee for these programs when charged to your Explorer Card.
No foreign transaction fees
Purchases made outside the U.S. with the Explorer Card are not subject to foreign transaction fees. It’s a great opportunity to use your card when you travel or shop online and earn award miles. For example, if you spend $5,000 internationally, you would avoid $150 in foreign transaction fees.
Priority boarding
The primary Cardmember and companions on the same reservation will be invited to board United-operated flights prior to general boarding. To receive priority boarding, just add your MileagePlus number to your reservation and refer to your United boarding pass for your boarding group number.
Two United Club℠ passes — over a $100 value
Relax at a United Club location before your flight, where you can enjoy complimentary beverages, snacks and more. As the primary Cardmember, you’ll get two United Club one-time passes deposited into your MileagePlus account each year for your anniversary. We’ll notify you via email when your two passes are available in your MileagePlus account. Please visit united.com/ChaseClubPasses for more information.
