US Airways has extended their 100% buy miles bonus until November 30th. I've written a lot about this promo, frankly because its a great deal. While they keep extending it, this will run out one day soon and it'll be one of the "remember when" type promotions we remember fondly in the future.

I've helped clients utilize this promo to book Star Alliance premium cabin travel that would have cost thousands to buy outright. For example, I advised a client recently on buying 100,000k miles for $2,800 total (which ended up being 200,000 miles) for two business class tickets to Europe on a multi-stop honeymoon. If purchased, one of those tickets would have been almost $4,000.

The great thing about US miles is that you don't actually have to fly US Airways. They can be redeemed on any of the 20+ Star Alliance carriers, like Lufthansa, Swiss, Continental, United, Thai and Singapore.

If you want to take advantage of this promo, but aren't sure how, feel free to enlist my professional award booking services. I'll help you take full-advantage of this promo so you can take the trip of a lifetime.
