Mashable readers: Welcome to the best blog on redeeming frequent flyer miles. The way that I've traveled to over 20 countries this year and spent nine months abroad is by signing up for credit cards and using the miles to book business and first class awards.

There are currently four stackable promotions related to US Airways miles.

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."

Then View From the Wing pointed to this article quoting J.
