I don’t usually repeat what has already been blogged about multiple times in a day, but I thought this would be fun to talk about. As you are likely aware, US Airways is back with a buy or gift Dividend Miles promotion. You can get a bonus of up to 100 percent on purchased miles through March 31, 2013.

I don’t recommend buying miles unless you are very close to a specific award that you want, and cannot book it without the purchase (and maybe not even then). That said, I couldn’t help but check and see what kind of bonus I was eligible for. My number was 75 percent. Not bad, but not good enough to entice me to buy miles with no award needs in mind. Though I admit that there’s a tiny bit of temptation there knowing that these miles are almost certain to become AAdvantage miles at some point in the future. So, my number was 75 percent. What’s yours?

  1. Mine is 75%. My uncle who lives with me is 100%. So if I decide to bank miles within the next 25 days, I’ll ask him to gift me DMiles.

  6. I got 100%, but when trying to book a partner award on United (SEA>BKK R/T) there were zero seats available in either economy or business class for the whole month of April, which is fairly low season in Thailand. Now I know why these miles are on sale, sheesh!
