US Airways Promotion

The airline’s first 2011 miles-buying promotion has landed. Is it as good as last year’s?

In a word, yes. The carrier that just can’t stop itself has come up with an outstanding special offer: Up to a 100% bonus when you buy 50,000 miles from now to March 31. (See FCF Nov. and May 2010 for booking details and opportunities.)

The Fine Print:

  • There is an online twist: You get a 75% bonus on the first 50,000 miles purchased (37,500), and the other 25%(12,500) once you download, install, and complete at least three valid searches using the Dividend Miles Toolbar.
  • Bonus only given when miles are purchased online.
  • Dividend Miles accounts less than 12 days old do not qualify.
  • Maximum miles qualifying for bonus: 50,000.
  • Cannot be combined with another offer.
