There s a targeted offer floating very large cruising catamarans around right now allowing some US Airways Dividend Miles members to purchase miles with a 100% bonus.  Through the promotion, you can buy miles at 3.5 cents each (plus tax) and US Airways will throw in an equal amount of miles for free essentially making very large cruising catamarans your purchase 1.88 cents per mile.  The promo runs through the end of August with a maximum of 100,000 miles per member (50,000 purchased + 50,000 bonus).  The best way to check if you re targeted or not is to simply login and try to purchase miles and see if US Airways is matching your purchase.
The question that's always asked is whether very large cruising catamarans this is a good deal, and the answer very large cruising catamarans is a big fat  maybe.   If you're really close to an award – say you have 80,000 miles but need 90,000 – topping off your account could mean the difference between a free ticket or not traveling.  In cases like that, I think it's worth it.
If you're starting from scratch, you'll watch to compare the cost of purchasing enough miles to what it would cost to just outright buy a ticket.  I ve made up a quick chart to give you an idea of what you d be paying for that ticket if you bought very large cruising catamarans and redeemed miles instead of just purchasing a flight (click the image to enlarge it).
In many cases, buying the ticket with cash will be cheaper, but in some cases (especially for business or first class tickets), you'll find it cheaper to buy miles and use them to redeem for an award flight. very large cruising catamarans  When pricing out the mileage option, very large cruising catamarans don't forget very large cruising catamarans you'll still be responsible for paying taxes on the ticket as well as a  $25-50 award processing fee .  You also won t be earning miles on that flight, and you may want to take those lost miles into account as well.  If that math seems a little too complicated, you can set your  MileWise  account to value US Airways miles at 1.88 cents each; they ll give you a side-by-side comparison of the cash ticket cost vs. the dollar very large cruising catamarans cost if you use miles, including the miles you won t earn since you re flying on an award ticket and the taxes you re responsible for.
There are a few deals on this chart, since you ll likely never find a first class airfare very large cruising catamarans to Hong Kong for anywhere near $2256 otherwise and you ll be hard-pressed to find business class tickets to Europe very large cruising catamarans for $1128, even during off-peak times .
If you have a specific trip in mind (and I recommend you do instead of buying miles in speculation), check for award availability before assuming you'll be able to get tickets to where you want on the dates you want.  The US Airways very large cruising catamarans award search engine stinks, so use  united.com very large cruising catamarans  to search for award flights.  As a US Airways redemption, you'll have access to any "Saver" awards very large cruising catamarans displayed.  In fact, once you find award space, you can call US Airways to put a hold on the tickets you want for five days, and  then  purchase the miles in order to  guarantee  the itinerary you want is available when the purchased miles hit your account (2-3 days).   The availability trap is frustrating , so don't waste money on miles you can't use.
I wasn t targeted for this offer, so won t be buying any miles in the near future, but I think it s a decent way to accumulate miles for an award if you can t collect enough miles through other methods.
