US Airways - 15,000 bonus miles for existing card holders [targeted]
I received a bi-fold mailer from US Airways today and nearly tossed it, but I'm glad I read it.
THE OFFER: Earn 15,000 bonus miles when you spend $750 in new purchases each month in September, October and November.
FINE PRINT: Offer is valid for select cardmembers and is not transferable. You will earn 15,000 bonus miles after you charge $750 in net retail purchases each month from September 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012. If you do not spend over $750 in any one of the three months of the promotion you will not be eligible for any bonus miles as part of this offer. To receive your bonus miles your account must be open and in good standing. Purchases made during periods when your account is delinquent, your balance exceeds your credit line or your account is otherwise not in good standing as defined on your Cardmember Agreement do not qualify.
Your bonus miles will appear up to 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion. Net retail purchases do not include things as the purchase of money orders, traveler's checks, foreign currency, lottery tickets, gambling chips, wire transfers, person to person money transfers or using the account to obtain a cash advance.
Be on the lookout in your mailbox!

They've been sending these out for months, for various time periods and spends. I got $1250 for May-July and the 15,000 miles just posted to my account a few days ago.

But thinking about taking advantage on this, my hubby got the 750 offer. I, on the other hand received the 1250 offer a few months back (mentioned above) and didnt even bother doing it cuz it was too high.
Let's see, I need to re-do the calculations to do this offer...

Did the points posted on your statement date? I also got the $1250 for May-July and I'm still waiting for the 15,000 to post. My August statement has passed, so I wonder if I should be on the lookup for them in the Sept statement (or if I can expect them a little sooner).

Can you tell me if you've been neglecting the card? I'm hopeful that I'll get a similar offer!

Yes, Barclays seems to commonly throw out retention bonuses for sock drawered cards. If someone has the NFL card, they would likely see something similar, except it'd be $200 cash for spending $750 x 3.
NFL and US Air seem like good cards to sock drawer

Thread moved to US Airways forum where there is a high concentration of affinity credit card holders. Discussion in progress:

How long (in months) must you stop using this card to get the offer? My wife and I both have the card and it would make sense to stop using one of them for awhile if I can get this offer.

Yeah, kind of frosts you, doesn't it? At least it frosts me. I spend hard early in year for 10K PQMs and take advantage of double-RDMs on my US tickets. But -- and I guess precisely because I have proved myself too faithful a customer -- these windfalls never show up for me. I'll laugh at myself now to save others the trouble.

I didn't get the post card, but received an email about the promotion.
