US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - US Airways R/T

I have a US Airways dbc, voucher that is valid for a round trip in Canada & USA-48 states. Terms of use are: No advance needed, must ticket by Nov. 12,'02, travel until Nov. '03, no Saturday required, Dividend Miles Z Class required. Don't fly US Air anymore, so looking for anything UA or AA in return. Txs.

***Posted here, as well as C.Connection, due to short window for ticketing only, sorry***

Is your name on it, or is it generic or does it say 'non transferrable'?

Since US and UA begin the code-share soon, you might try to get it extended so you can redeem a UA award when the program gets implemented in the beginning of 2003. Then you may be able to cash it in for a UA flight flown as a US flight number.

It has my name on it but is fully transfereable and I can have the voucher reissued in anyones name, who then can get the voucher converted into any ticket. It can not be used on UA since is was from a US Air flight, so the merge of the FF programs has no effect.

The FF programs are not being merged.

A marketing alliance has been created which allows the airlines to code-share -- IOW you might be able to use that voucher for a US Airways flight number on United metal to a United destination.

The bump vouchers are fully transferrable even when they're issued in your name - the party to whom the voucher is issued needs to take the voucher to the airport ticket office (or the rare City Ticket Office) and get the ticket issued - this way they check your picture I.D. to make sure it's your voucher and you didn't lift it off of someone. A pain yes - but hey, they're transferrable unlike other some other airlines' vouchers.

TomBascom Your correct, FF programs not being merged, wrong choice of words. Was just told by US Air that they have not made a decision yet about it working on a UA code share flight with US flight number, great idea!

CLTFlyer Also was just advised dbc voucher can be transfer and rewritten into anyones name, prior to expiration. Once that is done, it must be converted into a ticket, valid for one year, but can have those cities it is ticketed in changed, upto a year later, for the $100 change fee, FYI.
