100% Bonus On Puchased US Divedend Miles
« on: June 01, 2010, 11:21:37 AM »
From June 1 until July 31, US Airways is offering 100% bonus purchased miles. They cost 2.75 cents each and the Max is 50k. 100k will get you business class from North America to Europe and it will only cost you $1375. The great thing about US is that you can look for the dates you want, put the tickets on hold and then buy the miles.

For those who have or can get *points, with the 50% bonus, it comes out cheaper for 100k miles even if you value *points up to 2.4 cents each.

Gift means buy them for someone else.
They have in the past had a bonus on transfers.

Technically speaking, US only allows a bonus of 50K per calendar year. But, I think all of these different promos have messed with their systems. So, I would venture to say that you should not be worried even if you took advantage of their last purchasing offer (as I did). Also, if you are looking for several biz. tickets, the best thing to do is to get the login info of friends/family and have them "buy" you miles. Just use YOUR credit card when purchasing time comes... Works like a charm. I'm flying biz. on the following itinerary thanks to their last offer:

PHL-LAX-BKK
BKK-ZRH-LIS
LIS-FCO-PHL

THANKS US!

Alive again, 100% bonus on purchased miles, but at 3.5cpm + excise taxes and fees, it's only worth it for topups, if at all.

This has been a promo that they've had on and off for a while.
Their 'share' promo which allowed you to buy at 1.1 was even better.

But even 1.8 has its uses, especially for S. America and parts of Asia in biz class.
