US Airways is offering a targeted 50% discount on purchasing 60,000 to 100,000 US Airways miles.
With the discount, US Airways miles cost 1.88 cents each.
- Who is targeted?
- Is this a good deal?
- What can you do with US Airways miles?
The sale price of 1.88 cents each is not the price I’d want to pay for US Airways miles most of the time, but it would allow you to book a roundtrip in Business Class to Europe for about $2,000 all in, including taxes and fees.
Or if you buy 100,000 miles for $1,881 and got 40,000 bonus US Airways miles after first purchase on The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®, you’d have enough miles for a roundtrip in First Class to Australia on with Cathay Pacific or Qantas.
To check to see if you’re targeted, sign into your US Airways account and then click on the Buy Miles page. You should see the limited time offer, which expires August 22, 2014 if you’re targeted.
