US Airways Offering 100% Bonus on Fall Flights If You Complete An Additional Task

by Gary Leff

Len M. is my US Airways Dividend Miles news ticket this morning.

He sends along a promotion to earn up to 100% redeemable mileage bonus on flights through November 17 if you also complete partner activity.

If you do one of the following by November 17 then all of your qualifying US Airways flights through that date will earn 50% bonus redeemable miles.

Field goal – 50% bonus miles on fall flights

Even better, do one of the following by November 17 and your flights through that date earn 100% bonus redeemable miles.

Touchdown – 100% bonus miles on fall flights

Registration is required. You have to have a Dividend Miles number in your flight reservation at time of booking to qualify for bonuses.

The terms and conditions of the offer specifically warn to participate with only one Dividend Miles account, so that’s a shot across the bow of anyone managing multiple accounts for themselves. It’s not obvious though what the point of doing that would even be since the promotion doesn’t cap the number of bonus miles you can earn in a single account.

The bonus applies to flights on US Airways aircraft (including US Airways Express) through November 17. Missing miles must be credited to your account by December 1. (This provision leads me to doubt enforcement of rules about your US Airways account number being in the booking at the time you make your reservation.)

You cannot double dip with this offer, you get a 50% bonus or 100% bonus but not both. And the miles are not elite qualifying though the offer is certainly stackable with the current targeted triple elite qualifying miles promotion.

Here’s a snippet of the relevant portion of the rules for using club membership as qualifying activity.

The 100% bonus offer for a club membership purchase is available for all new US Airways Club enrollees, former members who have expired within the past 6 months and current members within 90 days of membership expiration. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion with the exception of the US Airways Club standard offer of 5,000 Preferred-qualifying miles.

And a notation about statement closing dates if you’re using the US Airways co-branded credit card to qualify for a bonus:

US Airways MasterCard or US Airways Visa purchases must occur with a statement date September 30, 2013 – November 30, 2013.

Together with the 100% bonus for transferring miles, they are sure minting a lot of miles right now!

  1. Gary – any insight on the requirement to fly to or from CLT or DCA? Given that about 99% of their flights connect through one of those airports it would be a pretty low bar if connecting counts.

  2. And don’t forget about those triple PQM’s they are offering select members to Re-engage them!(ha! needless to say, I was not one of those!)
    This offer holds no thrill for me personally because they are not preferred miles.
    As for flying to/through CLT, if I recall, in the past it required a flight TO Charlotte. There is discussion of this on the related FlyerTalk thread.

  3. Interesting — looking at the names (Field Goal and Touchdown) I’m guessing that this is the replacement for the Grand Slam event.

  4. Kind of strange that they’re incentivizing DCA given that their traffic there is one of the main hangups in the DOJ merger lawsuit. I’d think they would kind of want to play that down a bit, not pump up their numbers…

  5. So do we think this will be combinable with the triple preferred qualifying miles? As always, USAir does a terrible job of explaining details of a promo. There should be a FAQ already set up.

  7. I am flying via charlotte on us airways and have signed up for the 100% bonus. If i want to earn miles on USA”s partner Aegean Airlines for the flight, will i still get the bonus and earn twice as many Aegean airlines miles?

    Also when i bought the ticket I paid extra to earn 50% more miles. Would the 100% bonus just double the ticket miles or the ticket miles+50% making a total of 300%??

    Thanks!
