Chase Card Services and United Airlines today introduced the all-new United Business VISA Card, designed to help business travelers maximize their miles. The new card will offer two miles per $1 spent on local transit and commuting, in addition to two miles per $1 spent at gas stations, office supply stores, restaurants and United purchases. New Cardmembers will also be eligible for a 100,000-mile bonus offer. To celebrate the new card launch, United and Chase are also offering special bonus-mile offers for new Cardmembers for the United Explorer Card, United Club Card and the United Club Business Card.

“We’re excited to launch the all-new United Business Card designed to help small business owners get even bigger rewards from their business expenses and travel,” said Luc Bondar, United’s Vice President of Loyalty. “This card was designed to give small business owners even more ways to earn double miles in areas where they are already spending, allowing them to earn miles faster that they can use to travel to hundreds of exciting destinations United serves around the world.”

The new United Business VISA Card will have the following benefits, which go beyond the benefits currently offered on the United Explorer VISA Business Card:
