The popular US Airways Dividend Miles Share Miles promotion is ending tomorrow. You can get combined 100% bonus on shared miles. This means that you can essentially buy 50,000 miles at 1.7 cents each.
This offer is valid sharing up to 50,000 miles between June 16-30, 2014.
You don’t get this bonus on purchased miles. This offer is only valid when you share miles with another party that can be a family member. You can access this offer on US Airways website here. Remember to choose “Share Miles” option to bring up this promotion.
This time both the sender and recipient will receive 50% bonus for total of doubling the miles. When you share 50,000 miles the recipient receives 75,000 miles and you will end up with 25,000.
Your friend can share 50,000 miles with you and you can then share 50,000 mile with your friend. Both will end up with 50,000 more miles at the price of $836.25. When US Airways run a straight 100% bonus back in April (read more here) the price of 50,000 new miles was $567.50 (1.1 cents each). The price under this current offer is 1.7 cents.
Conclusion
You can usually buy US Airways Dividend Miles between 1.8 to 2 cents during the monthly sales that will end up at some point. When US Airways had the Share miles promotion back in April at 1.1 cents each, I took advantage of it. This time I will take a pass.
You can now use Dividend Miles for Oneworld alliance awards and these will eventually turn to American Airlines AAdvantage miles once the programs are merged sometime early 2015.
