Last Holiday Season US Airways offered one of the greatest mileage promotions of all time to encourage shopping through their online mall — up to 250% bonus on earned miles which when paired with an offer from TrackItBack yielded 140 miles per dollar spent without having to leave your computer.
Judged against that standard, almost anything will appear disappointing. So it’s no surprise that this season’s promo doesn’t get the juices flowing. (Actually, it’s not even as lucrative as their back to school promo was just a few months back, which is rather surprising.)
This holiday offer (registration required) is for up to 4 additional miles per dollar spent, based on how much in total you spend through their shopping portal between November 15 and December 30.
- Spend $100 to $249 and earn 1 bonus mile per dollar
- Spend $250 to $999 and earn 2 bonus miles per dollar
- Spend $1000 to $7999 and earn 3 bonus miles per dollar
- Spend $8000 or more and earn 4 bonus miles per dollar
Total bonus miles are capped at 100,000 — which would mean spending $25,000 through their shopping portal.
Meh.
