US AIRWAYS-Give 50% more when you share miles
« on: July 09, 2011, 05:43:38 PM »
Give 50% more when you share miles*

Share a little, and give a lot! For a limited time, share miles and your friend or family member will get a 50% bonus. All you have to do is share miles by July 31, 2011 and your friend or family member will automatically earn 50% more miles for free (up to 25,000).

(up to 25,000).
A. Excuse my ignorance but is  the 25K referring to the transferring or to the earning?
B. Can I transfer to my husband get the bonus and transfer them back to my account to get it again?
it CAN be done!

A. 25k earned FWIU.
B. It'll probably work, but it puts you at risk if you sell them later.

IIRC it's .01 per point (+ taxes?) to transfer. that means it'll cost at least 2cpp, there are cheaper ways to get US, namely the B1G1 they have a few times a year which comes out to less than 1.5 after taxes

I was doing bad math and somehow figured it effectively comes out to $0.005 per point, thanks for the correction.

And IIRC, there's a $30 transfer fee, further making it less lucrative...

There's some sort of tax ontop of the purchase/transfer. 25k will cost you 2.9 cpm each. Better off trying to find SPG to buy somewhere.
