United℠ Explorer Card

No Over-the-Limit Fee. You won’t pay an over-the-limit fee if your credit card balance goes over your credit limit.

For Example:

Let’s say your credit card limit is $5,000. One month, you spend more than your limit on the card. Some credit card companies will charge you between $25 and $35 for this mistake. If your card advertises no overlimit fee, you won’t be charged a penalty for your spending.

This credit card comes with a No Penalty APR. You won’t default to a higher APR if your payment arrives on or after day 60.

Baggage Delay Insurance. Should your bags be delayed, this credit card can cover the cost of purchasing essential items.

Extended Warranty Insurance. This credit card extends the original manufacturer’s warranty of an item. You get the benefits of an extended warranty without purchasing the store’s expensive extended warranty.

Flight Delay Insurance. If a flight is delayed due to the weather or another covered reason, you can be reimbursed for additional transportation cost, meals, and accommodations.

Lost or Stolen Baggage Insurance. The credit card will cover replacing the contents of lost, damaged, or stolen bags, up to a given dollar value.

Purchase Protection. If that thing you bought is stolen or accidentally damaged within a specific period of time, you’re covered. The credit card company may reimburse you up to the full purchase price.

Rental Car Insurance. This credit card covers any damage from collision or theft on most rental vehicles, up to the value of the car.

Travel Accident Insurance. If you’re ever in an accident while on a vehicle licensed to transport the general public, you’ll want this insurance. It covers injuries from losing an eye or a limb all the way up to death.

Trip Cancellation Insurance. You can have your non-refundable fees refunded if your cancellation reason meets certain criteria determined by the credit card company.

Trip Interruption Insurance. You can claim up to 150% of your unused, prepaid trip costs if it was for a qualified reason.

Emergency Cash Advance. If your credit card is lost, damaged or stolen, you can ask the credit card company for some emergency cash. They will authorize the payment, which you can collect from a designated financial institution.

Emergency Card Replacement. Whether your card is lost, stolen or damaged, the credit card company can provide help as soon as next day. It doesn’t matter if you’re still on vacation, the credit card company will mail a replacement to you wherever you are. This will be done free of charge.

The credit card company’s Fraud Protection keeps your account safe from unauthorized charges. In fact, once the charges are proven fraudulent, you will be guaranteed a refund. All you have to do is check your statement. If you find something wrong, contact the credit card company and file a claim.

Zero Liability. If you didn’t buy it, don’t pay for it. You will not be held responsible for any unauthorized charges that appear on your account.

Entertainment Access. Some credit card companies host exclusive card member-only events, like Broadway shows, concerts, sporting events and more.

Bonus Miles. This card gives you an opportunity to earn bonus airline miles when you sign up. This offer is usually valid for a specified time, usually a few months.

United℠ Explorer Card allows you to pay off part or your entire bill with a Statement Credit offered as a sign-on bonus.

For example, you have a credit card which offered a $200 statement credit. In order to get it, you have to make purchases totaling $1000 or more within the first 90 days of opening the card. You spend $1100. When you get your credit card statement for the month following the introductory period, your bill will be reduced by $200. So if your credit card bill is $500, you will only have to pay $300.

No Annual Fee for the First Year. This credit card company waives its annual fee for the first year. You’ll get a year to decide if the card is worth the fee before you have to renew.
