Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending and gift card liquidation at scale, excessive cash advances, selling or transferring MileagePlus miles outside program rules, too many Chase credit card applications in a short period, applying for more than 2 Chase cards within 30 days, suspicious large cash deposits triggering AML review, holding disproportionately high total Chase credit limits relative to stated income, pattern of opening and closing cards repeatedly to farm welcome bonuses
Cliff Effect Rules
The United Gateway Card bonus restriction is card-specific and independent from all other United co-branded cards: holding or having previously received a bonus on the Gateway Card does not block eligibility for the United Explorer, United Quest, United Club, or United Business Card bonuses — each card maintains its own independent 24-month bonus clock. The card can be upgraded to the United Explorer Card after 12 months, which is particularly useful for cardholders who want to avoid opening a new Chase 5/24 slot to access Explorer-level benefits.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
Chase enforces the 5/24 rule — applicants who have opened 5 or more new personal credit card accounts across any issuer in the past 24 months will be automatically denied regardless of credit score. The United Gateway Card bonus is not available to current cardmembers or previous cardmembers who received a new cardmember bonus on this specific card within the past 24 months, and if the account is closed within 6 months of opening, Chase and United reserve the right to claw back the welcome bonus miles. Chase also limits approvals to no more than 2 personal credit card applications within any 30-day period, and applicants may receive either a Visa Signature or Visa Platinum version depending on creditworthiness.
Military & Hardship
MLA Compliant
Complies with the Military Lending Act (36% APR cap for active duty servicemembers).
SCRA Benefits
Chase caps interest rates at 4% APR on pre-service balances during active duty (below the statutory 6% SCRA maximum), and waives all credit card fees including any applicable fees and foreign transaction fees for eligible active-duty servicemembers and their spouses, with benefits continuing for one year after discharge. As this card carries no annual fee, the primary SCRA benefit is the reduced interest rate on pre-service balances.
Hardship Program
Hardship program available.
