Today
is the last day to take advantage of this promotion and since we don’t
know when Dividend Miles will be integrated into AAdvantage this may be
the last time we see this (doubt it but you never know!)
Earn up to 100% Bonus Dividend Miles when you buy or gift Dividend Miles. Full details Until May 25, 14
| Buy/Gift | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 10,000 – 19,000 Miles | 50% |
| 20,000 – 29,000 Miles | 75% |
| 30,000 – 50,000 Miles | 100% |
The promo allows you to buy up to 50,000
miles (so 100,000 in total with the bonus) at 3.5 cents per mile
(effective rate is 1.75 cents per mile) plus taxes of $131.25 for total
of $1881.25 (1.88 cents per mile). Considering that can get you an
International business class ticket with this many miles between that
can cost a lot more than that, this is a good deal! We do advise to only
purchase however if you know you are going to use to miles soon as it
is never good to sit on the miles for a long time due to possible
program devaluations that can come at any time. Since US Airways allows 3
day holds on award tickets you can always find the award flights you
want before you buy the miles and therefore you don’t have dole out a
hefty chunk of change just in case you cannot find availability for your
preferred award flights.
