US Airways, 100% Bonus when you Buy, Gift or Share
Between November 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 you get double the rewards when you buy, share or gift miles. However, there is a cap! The 100% reward bonus only applies to the first 50,000 miles.
If you decide to buy miles for your next trip this is what it will cost you. Each mile = $0.025 + $30 processing fee. 50,000 reward miles will cost $1280 giving you 100,000 miles. A flight from LAX to London will cost about $773.00 per person. To use points for this flight will cost 50,000 miles, $640.00, plus a $50.00 ticketing fee bringing the total to $690.00. Keep in mind that the availability of reward seats will be limited so there will not be as many travel options compared to a revenue ticket.
Moral of the story: Do some research.
