United Business Card Refresh and 125K Signup Bonus
Chase and United Airlines debuted today a refreshed Chase United Business Card and an improved signup bonus of 125,000 miles. There are several new credits on the card, but the annual fee is also going up to $150. The details and the new bonus seem to have been leaked by mistake, and most likely we will see these changes go live next week (that’s when we also expect a 100K bonus for the Chase Sapphire Preferred) . Check out the details below.
Signup Bonus
- Earn 125,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open.
- Plus, earn 5,000 bonus miles after you add an employee card to your account in the first 3 months your account is open.
- Annual Fee: $150
- DIRECT LINK
The link seems to show the new offer or the old offer, so maybe it’s not supposed to go live just yet. The current 100K offer is supposed to expire on March 23, 2025. So if you like these new benefits, you can apply with the lower annual fee and then hopefully match to better bonus.

Guru’s Wrap-up
The card is getting several new credits which is something that we have seen recently on Amex premium cards. While maximizing all these credits might not be easy, they do add value to those cardholders who are willing to do the work. And for an annual fee increase of $51 it could be an improvement.
The card also gets a new signup bonus of 125K miles which is better than the 100K bonus that is still available through referrals. Those links still work actually and they have the $99 annual fee.
