It looks like US Airways scored consistently 5-7 in many categories. Seems alot of people voted, but did not vote them that high. I am surprised by the number of votes, I would assume all the Tempe employees voting 10s vs the FF's voting 1-2-3's. I know my votes for US Airways were not above 5 in most categories...
But congrats to US Airways for winning the Bonus Category with "Everything Counts"

US Airways - Dividend Miles
Where's the love? Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards has absolutely dominated this category for eight straight years, but this year, the program fell to sixth place. US Airways Dividend Miles pleased its members this year with its hugely popular Everything Counts Promotion. It certainly counted in the minds of Dividend Miles members with a very impressive 9.171 Value Vote. This promotion is clearly a winner. Not only could members earn more miles, but they also earned toward elite status during that all-critical end-of-year elite qualifying season that sees frequent flyers all over the world taking flights with strings of airport codes that look something like, MEL-SIN-BKK-SIN-AMS-CPH-GOT-FRA-TLV-FRA-YYZ-YUL-LGA-IAD-LAX-AKL-MEL (yes, that's an actual mileage run). In this case, they could shop for the holidays instead to earn toward elite. This is the first Freddie for US Airways Dividend Miles in this category. Congratulations, Dividend Miles. Can we look forward to the same offer this year? At number two, and also a newbie for recognition in this category is Aeromexico Club Premier with its imaginative and universal soccer bonus. The United Airlines Mileage Plus bonus offer for the program's elite members is at number three and number four and five are the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns bonus offers. Alaska's credit card bonus was the program's richest ever and did not go unnoticed by its members.
