From US Airways: More Frequent Flyer Miles for Shopping

Has US Airways gone bonus-crazy?

They’re currently offering a 100 percent bonus on purchased miles, double miles on all flights, and a 50 percent bonus for car rentals and hotel stays.

That’s a whole lotta bonuses. And it’s not all.

Dividend Miles members whose shopping lists include non-travel items can also earn a 50 percent bonus for a wide range of online purchases.

Offer Details

Through June 30, Dividend Miles members can earn a 50-percent mileage bonus for purchases made at participating online merchants, including FTD, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, Red Envelope, and all the 200-plus other retailers in the Dividend Miles shopping mall.

In combination with a separate promotion for elite members of US Airways’ program, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Chairman’s Preferred members will also earn bonuses of 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent, respectively, for purchases at the Dividend Miles shopping mall.

A maximum of 10 transactions will earn bonuses during the promotion period.

Registration is required.

Deal or No Deal

For US Airways loyalists, this promotion is a good opportunity to add to their Dividend Miles account balances. With so many products available from so many merchants, there’s a high probability of meeting your shopping needs at a bonus-eligible retailer. And if you qualify for the elite shopping bonus as well, this is an unusually lucrative opportunity indeed.

If Dividend Miles isn’t your primary program, there may be better online shopping bonuses from other airlines, especially in the run-up to Father’s Day. So check and compare before hitting the “Buy” button.
