Up to 50,000 bonus Dividend Miles<\/h3>\n

A week or so ago, Points.com alerted us to the fact that US Airways would be initiating its Buy Miles Promotion <\/a>in May and, sure enough, the email arrived today. Once again it is a tiered bonus. Although not as\u00a0sweet as the\u00a0Share Miles promotion that we had in April, from now through May 25th you have the opportunity to buy miles as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Buy 10,000 to 19,000 miles, get 50% bonus miles
\n\u2022 Buy 20,000 to 29,000 miles, get 75% bonus miles
\n\u2022 Buy 30,000 to 40,000 miles, get 100% bonus miles (page typo –\u00a0100% bonus is good for up to 50,000 miles)<\/em><\/p>\n

In order to get the full 100%\u00a0 bonus, you would\u00a0need to buy at least 30,000 miles. The maximum bonus an account can receive is 50,000 miles therefore if you purchase 50,000 miles you would receive a total of 100,000 miles. Accounts must also be over 12 days old in order to participate, so you could actually set up a new account within the timeframe allowed to take advantage of the promotion if you don’t already have a US Airways Dividend Miles account.<\/p>\n

When you access the Buy Miles page,<\/a> you will be asked to enter your Dividend Miles membership information.\"Buy<\/a><\/p>\n

Normally US Airways miles sell\u00a0for 3.5 cents each plus a 7.5% tax recovery charge. With the current promotion\u00a0the price drops down to 1.88 cents<\/strong>. The cost for purchasing the maximum of\u00a050,000 miles\u00a0is $1,881.25.<\/p>\n

\"Buy<\/p>\n

It makes sense, that if you are going to take advantage of this, to buy a minimum of 30-50K miles in order to receive the 100% bonus.<\/p>\n

It may sound like a lot of money, but to be able to fly business or first class for less than $2000 is an incredible deal. I find US Airways miles to be\u00a0very useful. They have afforded me the opportunity to travel to some wonderful destinations in Business or First Class – trips I only dreamed of not too many years ago.\u00a0If you also have the \u00a0Barclay\u00a0US Airways Dividend Miles Credit Card<\/a>, and book your travel on US Airways flights, you will also get a 5000 mile discount on award travel.<\/p>\n

Although US Airways is no longer in Star Alliance, there are many ways to redeem US Airways miles for first and business class on\u00a0oneworld<\/strong>\u00ae carriers. It is possible to fly from the United States to Asia with British Airways (through London), or on Cathay Pacific (an airline I am eager to try) for as little as 120,000 miles.<\/p>\n

As always, these transactions are processed by Points.com so you would not be earning extra travel category points with your branded credit card.<\/p>\n
