US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Total mile count for BOS shuttle?

As I calculate the rest of my year, I can see I'll need a mile run or two to make CP. Question is, do I have to go long, or can I Shuttle it?

How many total tier miles does one get per RT shuttle from BOS with the current bonus?

I too needed to make a mileage run and am doing it on the shuttle Aug 24-25. Here is the deal with milage on the shuttle:

Both BOS-LGA and BOS-DCA are less than 500 miles. Therefore, you will get the 500 tier mile minimum. However, if you fly before August 31 and are signed up for the triple miles bonus you will get 1500 tier miles per segment or 3000 tier miles per round trip.

Good luck!

You can do one roundtrip BOS-LGA-BOS and will get 3,000 tier miles. Cost is $115 per roundtrip turn for off-peak weekends (VRA7WKSN fare basis; APPLIES FROM 7:00 P.M. FRI THRU 3:00 P.M. SUN.)

Depending on how many miles you need, the shuttle might not be your best bet. You can fly from Boston to Tampa with three week advance notice and no overnight stay requirement. Fare is $160. (TPA looks like the cheapest bet for no overnight stay). Lots of routings available, but a flight routing BOS-CLT-TPA-CLT-BOS will net you 2,468 actual miles (a PIT cnx is slightly more at 2,744 miles). With all the assorted bonuses, these four segments (all in one day) will net you 11,404 status miles. Fare basis is VRA7BSN.

Good call on TPA--except I already have 12 segs lined up. (I'm assuming you refer to that bonus; any others I'm missing?)
I may just wait until later in the year, hoping for more bonus bounty. Or, worst case, a west coast special. Or two. Looks like I'll be 10k short.

That doesn't include the segment bonus. Also there is a FL bonus (check the string) although I don't think it includes preferred miles. Based on way I see it (not that I know, just seems to be what people are posting gr*) calculate actual miles x 5 (of which once is actual and 4x is get out more bonus)
