Ben at One Mile at a Time blogged about US Airways reducing the price of their lounge membership to $259 for a year back on March 22.

It was unclear at the time how long this offer would last, but was certainly a good price for a paid lounge membership since US Airways membership also gets you United and Continental lounge access, and they’re selling it less expensively than those other airlines are..

I’ve just gotten an email from US Airways advertising the price as a 3-day sale, April 5-7. So perhaps this price will go away after Thursday.

Perhaps more importantly, the email says that the $50 initiation fee for new members is waived during this offer. Here’s the link from the email which just takes you to the enrollment page, but which does attach c=e_club_259_sale_04052011_joinnow to the end of the URL, perhaps that’s what flags the membership as eligible for an initiation fee waiver.

If you were considering a paid lounge membership, this is a reasonable time to jump on it.

Of course the email says the price is good only April 5 – 7, and we know it’s been valid since at least March 22, so who knows if it will go away at the end of the week or not, or when it might come back (since they offered it at $249 back in September!).
