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®.

There is excellent award space in Japan Airlines First Class between San Francisco and Tokyo for most of the next 11 months.

Three months ago I wrote that US Airways would be losing five of its Star Alliance partners over the course of 2014. The final two of those five bite the dust this Thursday!

July 31, 2014 is the last day to use US Airways miles to book Turkish Airlines and Singapore Airlines flights.

Turkish has seven routes from the United States to Istanbul

Note that the flights need only be booked by July 31. You can book US Airways awards up to about 335 days in advance.

US Airways charges only 60,000 miles roundtrip in economy to North Asia.

US Airways miles can get you to the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent on Qatar Airways flights in Business Class.

American Airlines and US Airways are currently offering huge bonuses on transfers from SPG Starpoints.

Until July 31, 2014, you can transfer 20,000 SPG Starpoints to 30,000 US Airways Dividend miles.

This promotion is identical to the current promotion to transfer 20,000 Starpoints to 30,000 American Airlines miles, which makes sense since US Airways and American Airlines have legally merged.

Yesterday I said about the American Airlines promotion: "it's July 2nd, and I think we can probably declare this the best miles deal July will see!" Of course, such a statement was disproved in less than a day because I consider the US Airways promotion slightly better.

How many Starpoints

US Airways Dividend Miles are extremely valuable for award flights to Europe because they can be redeemed for awards on all oneworld airlines as well as a number of Star Alliance airlines.

All together, that's nine airlines you can use to cross the Atlantic, and you can even add in a stopover or an open jaw for free.

I just got an intriguing email from Barclaycard and US Airways with the subject line "Limited-time Offer: Earn more miles this summer." The email says that I will earn 1.2 miles per dollar on my US Airways® Premier World MasterCard® in July and August automatically without having to register for the promotion.

The fine print says that I will earn 1.2 miles per dollar from July 1 until August 31, 2014 up to a maximum of 10,000 bonus miles.

US Airways' Share Miles promotion that allows two friends each to buy up to 50,000 US Airways miles for only 1.67 cents each ends Monday June 30, 2014.

I wrote about it fully in "The New US Airways Share Miles Promotion is 100% Different." The title of that post is in reference to previously structured, better Share Miles deals that allowed for the generation of US Airways miles at 1.13 cents each.
For some people, it will be a great way to top up your US Airways account for deeply discounted premium cabin award space.
