US Airways has a new buy & gift miles promotion at 100% bonus, when buying more than 30,000 miles, for purchases made between August 1 and 31, 2013.
This offer is open for all, but your US Airways Dividend Miles account must have been open for at least 12 days. You can access the buy miles offer here and the gift miles offer here.
Does it make sense to buy Dividend Miles at 1.88 cents each?
US Airways has number of promotions yearly for buying, gifting, and transferring in points from hotel programs to Dividend Miles.
This 1.88 cents per mile offer has been one of the lowest purchase offers. There was an offer for transferring miles in 2012 during which you could “purchase” miles at 1.1 cents each, but that offer was maxed at 50K miles.
Conclusion
If you have firm plans to use these miles and the availability exists on Star Alliance carriers, I would go ahead and buy.
You could also considering this as a way to purchase American Airlines miles. These two airlines are likely to merge later this year and the merger of frequent flier programs is likely to happen in 2014.
