US Airways 100% Buy Miles Promo
This type of purchase is certainly not for everyone, especially with US Airways and American Airlines new attempt to make immediate changes without notice. But, if you do have a desire to purchase 100,000 miles, this is the best time to do it as you will pay a total of $1,881. Considering that is business class to Europe, the price to purchase the tickets may only be a bit more than if you were to pay for economy.
If this sounds like it might be of interest to you, head on over to this page to purchase the miles. Unfortunately, the transaction is handled by points.com so you will not earn any type of bonus for airline purchases. So, this would be a good purchase to put on a card that you are trying to hit the minimum spending on or to hit a particular spending threshold.
Here are the details:
- 1,000 – 9,000 miles – 25% bonus
- 10,000 – 19,000 miles – 50% bonus
- 20,000 – 29,000 miles – 75% bonus
- 30,000 – 50,000 miles – 100% bonus
