Feb 05 2006

In addition to discounted coach awards to Sydney, United is offering coach awards between the U.S. and London for 35,000 miles for travel through March 31.The text of the offer says You must book your award ticket online only. However, the terms and conditions of the offer sayYou may purchase the reduced award through united.com or through United Reservations (call 1-800-UNITED1). The $15 booking fee is waived. Either way, it appears as though awards are still pricing at 50,000 miles even though the promo should have gone into effect February 1.Flyertalk.com discussion of the offer is here.

United offers 25% off awards to Australia.. maybe?

United is apparently offering coach awards between the U.S. and Australia for 45,000 miles. I say ‘apparently’ because though the terms and conditions suggest the promo should be active and redemption possible online, awards still seem to be pricing out at 60,000 miles. (Perhaps the web page meant to say that the award could not be booked online, which is also why the page says that the $15 award booking fee would be waived. That would explain why the website spits out a 60,000 mile price in spite of the promo. I’ve been too busy to call and find out the truth myself.) Flyertalk discussion of this offer is here.

USAirways Club Enrollment Bonus

Jan 25 2006

Through February 8 USAirways is offering 10,000 bonus miles for purchase of a club membership. Certainly not worth it for the miles, and I heavily object to their charging extra for access to United clubs and those of their other Star Alliance partners. But if you were going to join anyway this is a reasonable offer. Existing club members are not eligible for the bonus.
