Barclay’s is offering US Airways Premier World MasterCard holders up to a 50% rebate on redeemed miles between and November 30, 2013 up to a maximum of 30,000 rebated miles!
This is an incredible deal, and complements Monday’s Share Miles deal that I called “the best opportunity to buy miles all year.”
Are you eligible for a 50% rebate on your US Airways awards? What are the relevant terms and conditions?
The rebate promotion is being offered to select US Airways Premier World MasterCard holders for awards booked between now and November 30, 2013 for travel that is completed by March 31, 2014.
I am apparently not select enough because I wasn’t targeted. That ends my lucky targeted streak that goes back to being targeted to earn 154k Priority Club points in its latest promotion.
The offers range from a 10% to a 50% rebate on the miles used for an award. The maximum rebate is 30k miles regardless of the percentage offered.
But thanks to Anita P. for forwarding me her 50% offer.
And to Juan V. for sending me his 25% offer.
Check your email inbox for the subject “Get More for your Miles: Limited- time Offer” to see if you were targeted.
Note that a rebate is different from a discount. Anita, with her 50% rebate, still would need 60k miles in her account to book a roundtrip economy award to Europe. But 3-4 weeks after completing her award travel, she would receive half the miles she spent back.
All awards, including upgrades, receive a rebate regardless of the operating carrier. The only limits are that you need to redeem at least 20,000 miles during the period to trigger any rebate, and your rebate is capped at 30,000 miles back.
I already think that US Airways has by far the best award chart. This makes it that much better for people who want to travel this Spring.
What rebate did you get? Or were you one of the untargeted like me?

I was not targeted, which makes me a bit cranky, though not as cranky as the IHG promo.
Who sent out this offer? Was it the credit card or USAirways? Any suggestions on going about potentially asking to be included or is that pretty much not an option? Just trying to find out if it was Barclays or USAir that sent the email? Thanks!
I got the 25% and it looks like a joint email between US Airways and Barclays. Barclays is definitely prominently featured here.
Yes, it’s a Barclay’s promo.
How do I sign up to receive these kinds of e-mails? I’ve never received any kind of special e-mail offer from any airline. I’ve logged into my Barclay’s account and could not find any place to tell them that I want to receive promotional offers or that sort of thing.
For the airlines, there is a place on your profile to opt in our out of marketing emails. For the credit cards, there probably is too.
I never get any targeted awards, not for the bonus miles after 3 months of no spend, not this, not nothing from them. Should I start spend on the card to get some offers?
I don’t know what triggers them. I think less spending is more likely to get the offers honestly.
Hi Scott,
Love your blog–SO much info! I’ve passed on your website many times!
I’ve got a question on this Get More for Your Miles offer:
I received a 50% miles back offer; my husband did not. Question is: Am I allowed to purchase a ticket for him and get the miles back, or do I, personally, have to fly in order to receive the “rebated” miles?
Thanks tons!
If the miles come from your account, you will get 50% back (up to 30k miles rebated) regardless of the passenger!
Any idea whether your trip needs to COMPLETED by March 31, 2o14, or just initiated? The wording is a little vague to me.
Love the blog!
I would guess completed, but I don’ know any more than you.
Would someone be willing to forward the email they got on this offer to me? You could of course delete any areas of personal information. I want to reach out to the company and forward them the actual email to consider being included and see how I do and I’ll report back. Let me know please. Thanks so much! You could forward to pass it 12 at yahoo
