YAY!!! US Airways is having a 100% promo on shared miles.
Share Promotion
Share miles from October 1 to October 15, 2013 and your friend or family member will get 100% MORE in bonus miles – up to 50,000 miles.
Cost
This means miles are sold for 1.13 cents each. The best way to do this is to have a friend who already has 50,000 miles.
Say your friend has 80k in is account right, you have zero. So he will send you 50k, and with the 100% promo you will get 100k in your account.
Now: friend’s account – 30k, your account – 100k.
If your friend wants to do the promotion as well, you send him back 50k, which means he gets 100k.
Now: friend’s account – 130k, your account – 50k.
OR if he only wants just his miles back, you send him 25k and with the promo he gets 50k back.
Now: friend’s account – 80k, your account – 75k
Reminder: These purchases are processed by points.com which means no category bonus on spend.
Accounts must be open for 12 days so if you don’t have one open one now!

@Jeff
Do you have 50K USDM then? if so, can you be my friend if I’m interested? (you can email me or PM me on FlyerTalk/RFD)
Otherwise, sorry to us not being friends ^___^
Curious though…who pays the fees? The friend pays first when sending miles, and then you pay again when you send back the miles?
Another friend has already asked. Sorry 🙁
When my friend transfers the miles to me, he “pays” for my miles. When I send the miles back, I “pay” for his miles. Since we both get 50k each, we pay for each other which is fine.
You know you can do unlimited sharing? says lucky
Once you get your miles back from your friend, your 50K will become say 150K and then you can share it to 3 friends again, etc…
Only limit is Max of 50K PER RECEIVING account, which you’ll get on your 1st back-and-forth already
At least that’s how I understand it, anyway, good luck and LMK you got more miles to share 🙂
Otherwise I’ll see if someone trustworthy on RFD/FT has 50K miles to share, hee hee
Yes, you can do unlimited sharing, but receiving limit is 50k.
Yep, so you should create a new account too to share back and forth, ha ha
Anyway, good luck and thanks
I should look into FT Coupon Connection
I just went to USAirways website .. to my divident area

Do you know if both accounts (person receiving and sharing) have to be open for atleast 12 days?
