Earn double miles on US Airways this spring!
US Airways just launched a promotion last night awarding double elite and earned miles to all registered travelers between now and June 15.Elite miles, of course, are the special non-redeemable miles that count towards elite status, awarding passengers special perks like no baggage fees and better seat selection. Earned miles, on the other hand, are miles that can be cashed in for free flights and other goodies.
This means that with this promotion, one would only need to fly 12.5k miles to reach the lowest tier of elite status, silver preferred.
This is a fairly generous offer from US Airways considering that they ran a similar promotion last year. Our hope is that the trend catches on with other airlines and that just like last year, most of the legacy carriers offer double miles at some point.
Passengers need to be registered for the promotion and to book after registration, so scamper on over to US Airways' promotion site right now and sign up.

It would be nice to have the airlines competing for our business with incentives like this again.

What good are the miles if you can't use them. When I want to travel there are to many restrictions, black out dates, etc. I plan on driving to my destinations in the future. The two hours I sit in the airport I could be 150 miles towards my destination and I'll use the 25.00 baggage fee for gas and the added benefit..... I know where my luggage is.

Enjoy it while you can. Delta, who just took over Northwest, is after USAirways now. Pretty soon there will be one airline (Delta), one store (wal-Mart), one grocery (Kroger), one motorsport (Nascar), and one phony news channel (Fox). Who says communism is dead?

USAirways is about to be gone forever. Continental and United will merge and US will vanish into Never-never Land.... Upgrade, use the miles and forget about this airline...bye bye USAirways

IGNORANT comment from an obviously CLUELESS, Uneducated twit that wouldn't know how to read a business report, let alone what the hell could possibly take place in the Boardroom.

I have flown USAirways since they merged with America West. Their service has deteriorated to the point that after the flights I currently have booked I will change Airlines...

More and more airlines will be trying to get more people to fly. There are alternative ways to get to a destination and many people are now looking into them due the fact the luggage costs are more than the price of the flight. Should have thought about people banning together and will have the last say and put these companies out of business. Was it worth it airlines??????????

Gee Reece, Hope you were not calling me ignorant.....since it was ALL OVER the HOUSTON LOCAL NEWS tonight.
Hate to see people out of work but with a UA-CO merger that would leave US as low man on the totem pole.
