US Airways is having a promo to fast track to Elite status.
Its valid only for certain cities and for trips booked and flown between July 7 and October 10.
How it works, list of cities/regions and T&C's.

Its a bit if a weird one and I don't know how many people can use it but if you do, enjoy!

 got the email and Deleted it as I have no need for status on US. That said if I didnt have the level I do with UA or CO, then I might have worked the #s to see what it would have cost me to get to a level that would have helped with free bags etc on all *A Carriers

 Im aware that a Chase CO CC gets the 1st bag free but thats good Only on CO or if CO is your 1st segemnt on your itin, so if a person is flying say UA JFK-IAD then CO IAD-IAH-LAX they would have to pay for the bag since UA wont waiver it unless that person has *A status or UA status (3P with UA gets bags for free but doesnt have any *A status to it)

I agree.
I think they should match AA and offer DEQM and triple RDM, and to simplify it further it should be system wide... I wish
