The link works for me. I don't see a lot of value in buying the miles at $35/2000 (.0175/mile) but I've got 800,000+ in the bank. Now if there was a share miles promotion that doubled them up I would be all over that.

You forgot about the tax which brings the true cost to 1.881 cents/mile.

So the campaign is targeted to only members who bought points in 2012? That´s sad since I´ve been waiting for this campaign to do a award trip IC in F.

If you decide to get in on this, don't forget that as of Jan 1, 2013 LH F awards are no longer permissible via the US DM program.

I know, and as much as I would love to experience the FCT in FRA, there is still TG in F IC Europe/Asia in 773 and 380.

But I didn´t buy any points last year so don't seem to qualify for the 100% bonus

Moot point. Permissibility aside, they haven't been available for well over a year.

If you haven't got the email yet you can test whether you are eligible for this promo by going to the regular 'buy miles' page on USDM. A pop-up appears asking you to confirm your name and USDM number, then you hit the landing page as above if eligible.

So...I did fill in my name and got to the normal page I guess. No info about the 100% bonus. Should it be any info on the pages that I´m eligible to the bonus or does it go without saying?

When I choose "50 000" miles I get to the payment page "The cost of buying 50 000 miles is $ 1881.25 including tax/fees"

Edit: Googled CAMPAIGNCODE=USBuyLanding and found that the dropdown menu will show 1000 points normally, or 1000+1000 if eligible. Is that correct?

If you complete the pop-up and are accepted then you get the above double miles offer and the drop-down list also doubles the miles, so it says 1000+1000 bonus etc etc

I would keep watching because USDM sometimes opens up these targetted promos to the general public. They did last year after a week or so.

[Insomnia4u]

Tnx, I´ll keep checking then

Just a data point. I shared miles last year but didn't buy any outright. This apparently qualified me for the bonus offer though.

I did buy the miles and I am tempted to do it again... Now, if aonly those miles becme AAdvantage miles soon, 1:1...

Not near as good $0.01135 from the Share Miles in October (about 35% more in fact). Want the miles but holding out for better.
