500 mile minimum for preferred
I earned 447 base miles plus 447 preferred miles for my PHL-CLT flight. I thought preferred members earned a minimum of 500 miles per segment. Is this something new of which I am unaware? I am CP.

There was a post about this in the shuttle thread a few days ago:

The US website still indicates a 500 mile minimum:

I'd definitely contact US to clarify.

Preferred members traveling on US Airways will accrue the actual miles flown or 500 miles per segment, whichever is greater.

I'll be very interested in the answer. My most recent flight was a CLT-PHL on the 25th that posted on the 27th with the usual 500 minimums.

Did Not Receive The 500 Mile Minimum Bonus
Just an FYI
I do not log into my account everyday but did today to check some award availabilty and noticed on my flights on 7/29 I flew from BDL-PHL in the morning and then PHL-PIT later in the day the normal miles would be 500 and as Chairmans 500 bonus for 2,000 for the 2 segments but as I looked at my account I received BDL-PHL 196 miles and 196 bonus miles, PHL-PIT 227 miles and 227 bonus miles? I called the Chairmans line tonight and they said they have not heard of this but were going to look into it and get back to be.
Just an FYI have no idea if I am the only one this has happened to, you may want to check your account... PS This is my US Airways Acct
