Question: Earn double Avios with US Airways
Has anyone got double Avios from US Airways flights?
I took a couple of US Airways flights last week and both journeys have been credited to my BAEC account. However, I have got double "TPs" instead of Avios.
Is this a known glitch or is it just me?

Presumably this is economy? It's not actually double TPs, it's just that US is treating all their buckets as flexible and thus eligible for more TPs. There are also some AA buckets which also have a generous TP allowance but on a low-ish cost fare. The double Avios comes through in a separate transaction about a week later, so you should get those too, provided it wasn't issued on an AA codeshare. Have a look at this thread for more information and a more detailed discussion.

No registration required other than that your travel needs to be scheduled before the end of June 2014. Again more details in the thread quoted above.

I have realised a couple of "Special Promotion" (500 Avios each) rows appeared yesterday, which must be "Double Avios"!
EDIT: Additional Info
My OW status never showed up on boarding passes. I was about to be charged for luggage, I had to speak to a checkin agent. She then referred to an OW tier benefits table and manually removed the charge. She also typed my status into the system but nothing was printed on these passes. I therefore needed to show my BA card along with the boarding passes for lounges & priority boarding.
