Through July 31, US Airways is offering a 50% bonus on rental car and hotel mileage earning, and points transferred into Dividend Miles from hotel points programs. Registration is required, and bonus miles are scheduled to post weekly.

They ran this promo last summer as well. As I pointed out at the time, a transfer of 65,000 Starwood points would yield 120,000 US Airways miles — enough for a first class award from the US to Hong Kong (grab some of those sweet Chicago – Tokyo All Nippon first class award seats that are available in February..).

    Gary,

    Did you actually use this promo? I seem to remember you buying a lot of US miles last year with the luggage tag promo. Have you run through those or are you banking US miles (which seems contra to the CW)?

    Thanks
