Quick question..I know there have been problems in the past with US airways auditing accounts...Have there been problems with transfers to dormant accounts.

Why is this for such a short period of time? I am worrying mileage devaluation is imminent.

Much more insidious, they will block many international flights (as they are currently doing) so that you won't be able to use most of your miles

With the tiered structure of this promo, I cant decide how to max this for my families 3 accounts.
Account A - 10,000
Account B - 55,000 (soon to get another 35k CC bonus in January)
Account C - 100,000 (soon to get another 35k CC bonus in January)

suggestions?

I've booked 3 US-Japan J flights in the last month and everything I've seen open on United.com has been available with USairways agent.

Then you should consider yourself very lucky. I tried to book a Europe-US award and despite seeing availability on united.com on TK and OS, the US agent told me I was limited to LH, UA and maybe US on the dates I was looking - I had her check 1 week out and still no change. I then changed the date and tried another 7 dates and still no luck. She was offering a 3-flight itinerary with 2 connections as opposed to a 1-stop on the carriers I wanted. So, I'm not sure if you got lucky but I certainly didn't. I'm sitting on 250,000+ miles and am trying to use them before the new AA management decides to revise their award charts ala DL and UA.

I'm in almost the exact same situation. Wish I could consolidate with this promo.

23k C to A, 50k A to C, 50K C to B. After the credit card bonuses post this leaves me with
A - 0
B - 190,000
C - 162,000
Total cost - $1412.25

Thoughts?

I'll give it another go just for fun this evening and report back. Maybe the Asian carriers are still showing better avail than European?

suggestions?
B>A 45k=> A has 100 cost 500
A>B 50k=> B has 110 + 35 CC = 145 cost 567
A>C 50k=> C has 200 & 35 CC = 235 cost 567
Simple
Total "new miles" about 145; cost 1135+515 = about 1650

It gets tougher when doing 20 accounts in a row and cleaning out some on the way
