The briefest miles blogger, Mile Nerd, lets us know about Dividend Miles Daily Deals. It's like Groupon in that deals rotate and are discounted.

Singapore Airlines First Class and Business Class space is hard to get with United and US Air miles. Except right now, there is a glitch you can exploit, and the space is widely available.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about US Airways secretly loading their off peak award space to South America. Check out that post for a full rundown of US Airways off peak awards, probably the best value out there for award travel.

US Airways and American Airlines have merged since the publication of this post so it is no longer valid.

This post is part of a four-part series. In Part 1, we looked at the mechanics of the US Airways program. In Part 2, we looked at its award chart and rules to find valuable awards. In Part 3, we valued specific Dividend Miles awards. In Part 4, I’ll put a number on one Dividend Mile.

In this post, I’ll explain why I value one US Airways Dividend Mile at 1.95 cents, but your value will be different.

Nine minutes ago, I received an email from US Airways saying that I was targeted to buy Dividend Miles with a 90% bonus from now through May 15. Check to see if you have the email.

Clicking the link to Buy Miles in the email, I was brought to a purchase screen where the bonus miles were automatically included. The normal US Air price for miles is $37.63 per 1,000 or 3.7625 cents per mile.

If you read Part 1, you were probably struck by how unfavorably the Dividend Miles program compared to United's Mileage Plus.
