100% Bonuses From US Airways

You probably got a few emails from US Air lately. One is for a 100% bonus buying miles. It’s an ok deal. Nothing too great or unique. The better option is a 100% bonus sharing miles here.

Basically, by sending 50,000 of your miles to someone, they get an extra 50,000 mile bonus. You do have to pay, but it’s well under $600 for the 50,000 miles (a really good price). Considering the Grand Slam is nowhere to be found, this could be something to look at if you don’t mind spending money.

You can make it a family affair, “giving” 50,000 miles to your mom, who can give 50,000 miles to your spouse, who can give 50,000 miles to your sibling, who can give 50,000 miles to you. Each recipient would pick up a bonus 50,000 miles.

Top 25 Brain Fart

Thanks to Jack for emailing me today. For someone who likes hotel cards so much, I don’t know how I forgot the Priority Club card here. It’s 80,000 points after spending $1. Oh yeah, I do know how I forgot. That post took about 6 hours to put together and I went brain dead. My bad.

Friday Triple

  • Already a card to add to Wednesday’s popular Top 25 Credit Card post. The new CitiBusiness American Airlines card here. 40,000 miles after spending $3,000 in 3 months. 
  • 25,000 American Airlines miles from DirecTV is here
  • If you’ve been looking for a cheap way to get those first 500 miles from US Airways Daily Deals, there’s a good one today. ESPN Magazine subscriptions are going for $8.

Last Day For British Bonus

Are you sitting on a pile of American Express Membership Rewards points? If so, today’s your last day to get a 40% bonus transferring them to British Airways points. There is no way to know what (or when) the next bonus will be. I had to close an Amex card, so I took advantage of this one.

4 Things To Say

  1. If you’re looking really hard for some new credit card options, La Quinta has one here.
    • 20,000 points after first purchase
    • 20,000 more points if you spend $10,000 in a year
    • No annual fee
  2. TJ emailed me about yesterday’s post. He funded his Citibank checking account with a Chase Sapphire card and it counted as a cash advance. I’m looking for answers here, so if anyone has other experience, please let me know.
  3. Get triple JetBlue points here.
  4. US Airways has the most underrated credit card in the game. Today, I got another promo for 5x bonus miles starting October 1. (My code was SP0954001). This is for dining, department stores, and electronics stores. Another easy way to rack up 2,500 bonus miles.
