Mile Redemption Question [Using US Airways Credit Card].
So I have a USAIRWAYS Credit card that offers 5000 miles off mile award redemptions.
So I want to book a flight on AA from PHL - LIR. Searching on USAIRWAYS.com and then on AA.com it looks like AA offers a much better option/flight that is fewer miles to boot.
So now. Is there a way to book the flight in a fashion to get the credit card 5000 mile reduction? I have enough miles on both AA & USAIR to book award ticket. So I have that luxury.
Anyone know if this is possible and if so how?
Thanks

When I search for the flights on USAIR I don't see the AA flights offered for mile redemption. Otherwise that would be the way I would have booked it.

As American Airlines and US Airways are still operating as distinct airlines, this question is being moved to the appropriate pre-merger airline forum.

The US site is poor for showing partner award flights so you may have to call to book an AA flight. Unfortunately I don't think you can get the AA mileage rate and the US Mastercard 5K miles off deal - it's one or the other since the ticketing carrier's mileage requirement is what matters and the Mastercard discount is for US operated flights only, not codeshare flights.
