Benefits of US Airways MasterCard®
I have been approved for the Barclays US Airways card. However, I have not yet received it (or therefore activated it).
I am flying out tomorrow. Is there any way I can still use this to receive a free checked bag?

Getting a free checked bag before credit card comes
Here's Another dumb question: Why don't they offer a free bag when competing cards do?

I would rather have the 10k PQM after a 25k spend in a calendar year, 2 companions for $99 each and double points on all purchases made on usairways.com than 1 free checked bag.

I have heard that credit card holders are allowed to check in at First Class check in. Is this correct? It was an old thread where I saw that.

Miles posting question
Does anyone know long does it take for the 30,000 miles to post to your US Airways account after your first statement?

And 5k less for award travel booked on US metal! I think that's pretty unique compared to other airlines' cards.

I'm not aware of another airline card that gives a percentage of miles used back, so that too is unique.

My statement shows the miles reported as 3 less than the dollars spent on purchases: there were no finance charges, fees, or reversed charges to confuse the matter. If they round to the closest 10, that hasn't happened on previous statements. This may look like a trivial matter, but with another airline once I had a balance ending with 995, when I was ready to book an award at the next round number. Any explanation here?

Quick question. Hopefully not a stupid one. If I use a travel agent to book my US Airways flights and pay them with my US Airways Premier World MasterCard®, will I get the double miles? Or do I need to book the flights personally?
