A great airline mile sharing promotion will end this week. I posted a few days ago about how one could take advantage of the promotion by sharing miles. So I took my own advice and shared miles with Mrs Weekly Flyer.
The results are in and we’ve shared 50,000 US Airways miles (we already had) to receive a bonus of 50,000 US Airways miles for only $567.50 plus the cost of the original 50,000 US Airways miles (we already had) that were shared. That is enough miles for a round trip Business Class ticket to Europe or a round trip Business Class ticket to North Asia according to the current US Airways award chart.
Share Miles And Get 100% Bonus
- What: Share miles with a friend before October 31, 2012 and your friend will get a 100% bonus
- How: Log in to your Dividend Miles account through the share miles promotion offer link and verify you can share miles with 100% bonus
- Detail: Valid on miles shared up to 50,000 for a 50,000 bonus
- Cost: Miles are shared for $0.01 per mile plus a processing fee of $30 and a tax recovery charge of 7.5%
- Total Cost To Share 50,000 Miles (Friend Gets 50,000 Bonus): $567.50
Results
Mrs Weekly Flyer and I shared 50,000 miles to get a total of 100,000 US Airways miles into one of our accounts. The total cost was only $567.50 plus the cost of earning the original 50,000 that we initially transferred.
Bottom Line
If you have enough US Airways miles to share, you could receive a 100% bonus at a low cost. If you don’t have enough miles to share, you could always purchase US Airways miles until 10/31/12 at a 100% bonus (higher cost) and then share the miles at the lower cost.
I received the 100% bonus and now have enough miles for a Business Class award ticket to Europe on US Airways or one of their partners.
Do you intend to take advantage of this offer before it expires on 10/31/12?

Shouldn’t it be 50K miles for $567.50 since that is the net gain?
100k for that price would be awesome, but it’s actually only 50k.
The post title is misleading. It’s really 50000miles for $568, not 100,000.
Hi,
Is this bonus applicable for only sharing miles?
Or is it available for buying miles too?
You need to change the title to 50,000 miles for $567.50, not 100,000.
Didn’t you also out of the 50,000 miles you share? So you (and your friend) are only getting the additional 50,000 miles for $567.50. The title is kind of misleading to say that 100,000 miles for $567.50
I am infested in sharing with someone for this deal, anyone interested?
Thanks
You do realize you only netted 50K miles right? You make it sound like you got 100K new miles.
Thanks. Attempted to illustrate that the transferred person would get 100k for $567.50 + cost of original 50,000 miles. In any event, I’ve changed the title to 50,000.

These transactions used to ring up as points.com. Other than using Prepaid AMEX is there any way to get more than 1x point on these transactions?
