No, card number isn't instant, and Chase doesn't expedite co-branded cards (even if it could hypothetically get to you by tomorrow).

Unlikely. However it is worth having the free mileageplus account so your miles and spending is tracked. When my brother applied he got the card in a week. You can enter your existing or new mileageplus account when applying for the card on the application page (next to promotion code box)

My experience in January was about 32 days later from date of approved application. That's just for the 2500 miles bonus. The remaining 60k needs the full spend requirement. the 2500 miles bonus did not. I'd suggest start using it right away and if you have a mileageplus account you can see as the miles get added.

Sometimes they have a credit signup option but in this case it's just miles. the Miles once earned can be used to buy gift cards etc through the portal but it's not the best bang for you mile. However, it is an option if you just want to cash it out in way via GC.

Just a heads up for anyone interested, September 30th is the last day to get this 60k offer. It will probably go down to 50k or the usual 40k miles after that. Just a friendly reminder. Cheers!
