Members of the US Airways Dividend Miles program now can use their frequent traveler miles to make a difference for children.
As part of a new relationship between US Airways and both the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Save the Children Federation, Dividend Miles donated to the airline's charity program will be divided equally between the two nationally recognized organizations.
US Airways inaugurated this new program with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Save the Children by depositing 100,000 miles into each charity's account. For every five miles donated by a Dividend Miles member, US Airways will donate one additional mile.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation will use the donated miles to help make dreams come true for children facing life-threatening illnesses, whether it's spending a day as a New York City police officer or taking a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
The Save the Children Federation will use the miles for its Web of Support for U.S. Children, which assists and supports organizations that provide safe places, caring adults and constructive activities to children during out-of-school hours in over 100 urban and rural communities nationwide.
Members can donate as many miles as they wish, with a minimum of 5,000 miles. Donations over 5,000 miles must be made in increments of 1,000 miles. The miles donated will be redeemed by the Make-A- Wish Foundation and Save the Children Federation to further their missions for children.
Dividend Miles members can make their donations to the Dividend Miles Charity Program by calling 336-661-8390. Members also can submit their donation by faxing their name, Dividend Miles account number, and the number of miles to be donated to 336-661-8216. The donated miles automatically will be deducted from the member's account and acknowledged on the member's next account statement.
