50% Bonus on US Airways Select Shopping Partners Thru June 30, 2012
US Airways just loves to give out bonus miles - whether it's their yearly Grand Slam promotion or their frequent buy-mile promos - it's not very difficult to rack up tons of Dividend Miles. The great thing about US Airways miles is that you can redeem on Star Alliance partners and they have some amazing redemptions, like 90,000 miles roundtrip in business class to North Asia and 110,000 miles in business class roundtrip to Australia/New Zealand - as well as off-peak awards.So if you are looking to pad your Dividend Miles account and you've got some online shopping in your future, you should register for their new 50% bonus mile promotion (registration link). You will earn a separate 50% bonus on all miles earned through numerous vendors including 1800Flowers, FTD, Teleflora, Pet Food Direct, Vinesse, Wine Insiders, Dividend Miles StoreFront, Netflix, Office Max, Biscoff, Verizon Wireless. The StoreFront is a mega-portal, which links to hundreds of other online retailers, so the options here are pretty open. Plus you can earn an additional 500 miles by downloading the StoreFront shopping toolbar.
I like the StoreFront because it allows you to sort the retailers by special offer and amount of miles they offer per dollar spent through this page. There aren't too many groundbreaking deals at the moment and you should always check what other portals are offering and EVreward.com is a great starting spot, though isn't always 100% accurate.
There doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of transactions/miles during the promo period and this is open to all Dividend Miles members, which is a nice change since so many recent promos have been US/ Canada only.
