US Airways Mastercard - New 2,500 bonus miles offer
I just received an email about another US Airways Mastercard bonus miles promotion, this time on different types of purchases. This promo may be targeted, and the details mentioned that there's a also a card being sent out in the mail.
The details:

• Movie theaters
• Utility bills (phone/cable & satellite TV/standard utilities)

Just received this as well except mine is for 10 miles per dollar with the same 2,500 cap. Nice little bonus, especially since I'll actually be using the card anyway in January.
As a data point my card has been in my drawer since July when I got through the $25k spend for the 10kPQM with the exception of a couple bookings for the DPQM promo.

I got the 2500 point deal today too. 5 extra points per 1 spent.
Its small.. but 2500 points is 2500 extra points. I'll spend the 500 on the card.

I never seem to get any of these emails. Do you need to sign up for emails? I am a card holder.

I got the 2x offer. I was surprised to get any offer as I put over 25k, mostly in the 4th quarter of 2012. I'll take it. Though I will still use my ink bold for Internet etc cause its 5x.

I have 22.5k spend this year... maybe folks that are at the higher spend levels get the emails? I do wish I could do up to 5k bonus miles. That would be AWESOME. My Freedom card lets me do 5x on the first $1500 each quarter.

Got the same promotion today -- 5 miles per $1. I usually put all of my spending on my BofA card since it has the lowest interest rate of my four US CCs, unless there is a DQPM promo or I'm using a $99 companion cert. Wonder if this is a sign I should change my primary card? I occasionally get mileage promos with my BofA card, but it's typically 3x and not 5x miles. Strange that I only got this promotion on one of my Barclays cards, the one I use the least with the highest interest rate!

Not certain, but there may be some place on the website where you can choose to receive advertising from the CC company. If you've opted-out, that may mean they won't send you invites to promotions like this either.
