Earn 100,000 bonus miles + 2,000 PQP after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. Plus 10,000 bonus miles after adding an employee card in the first 3 months.
Strong United business card. The free checked bag for two travelers, two club passes, and the under-the-radar $50/twice-per-year hotel credit help cover the $150 AF for any United-leaning small business. The 100k + 2,000 PQP bonus is the sweetener. Post-2025 refresh swapped the old $100/$10k-spend credit for a $125 travel credit unlocked by 5 United flight purchases of $100+.
