Or if you buy 100,000 miles for $1

Let me clear up one of the most common types of questions I get from beginners.

There is no transitive property of miles.

Just because Airline A partners with Airline B and Airline B partners with Airline C does NOT mean Airlines A and C are partners.

For instance, in yesterday's post Fully Flat Business Class to Europe for 25,000 Miles, I wrote:
I searched award space on Aer Lingus' routes from Chicago, Boston, and New York to Dublin for one passenger next April through July.

I searched on united.com.

Loyal reader Drew sent along an amazing targeted offer he received to continue spending on his US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®.

If he spends $500 per month on his card in August, September, and October, he'll get 15,000 bonus miles!

That means for a total of $1,500 in spending, he will earn 16,500 miles, which is 11 US Airways miles per dollar!

The email came to Drew with the subject "Earn 15,000 miles with your card!" Check your email for a similar offer if you have a US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®.

Singapore Airlines' award chart has some phenomenal sweet spots, which I've covered extensively:

United States to Central America with free one ways to Hawaii
United States to South America with free one ways to Hawaii
Continental United States to Hawaii

Yesterday I published comparison tables of United's award chart for United flights versus Singapore's award chart for United flights.

While compiling those charts, I saw that Singapore has an incredible sweet spot from the United States to the Middle East.
