1,000 Bonus Miles

Still doing holiday shopping or just want need to shop?  You can earn up to 1,000 bonus miles.

The 1,000 bonus miles are in addition to the miles you’ll earn for shopping from one of the partners.

The catch: you must make your purchase before 11:59 PM EST on December 31, 2012

2 Easy Steps to 1,000 Bonus Miles:

1. Shop online via the Dividend Miles StoreFront by December 31, 2012
2. Spend up to $500 and you’ll earn 1,000 bonus miles

Here’s the breakdown:

• Spend $150 and earn 300 bonus miles
• Spend $250 and earn 500 bonus miles
• Spend $500 and earn 1,000 bonus miles

There’s a limit of only one 1,000 bonus miles for each person.

How to maximize this promotion:

Split your spending:  If you and your partner each have a US Airways credit card, and you plan on spending more than $650, put the spending on two cards.

Put $500 on the first card to earn 1,000 bonus miles.

Put $150 on the second card to earn 300 bonus miles.

• Sears – normally 2 miles per dollar is now offering 6 miles per dollar spent
