seems like a great deal if you are going to buy tickets anyway,
Has anyone done a test on 2 computers to see if the prices are the same with the Bookingbuddy "cookie" on one computer and not the other,
Just wondering if they bump the price a bit to pay for the miles bonus .

Done. Now the trick is to make sure the miles don't get lost and forgotten. Still waiting on some OnePass miles that haven't posted yet from an Office Depot buy.
BTW, any ideas on whether this will work for car rentals? I would think so - don't see any restrictions on the US website, but the site defaults to the Hotel tab.

It's probably a mistake. This is what i see on cj.com (from where usair and other malls take their links and payouts):
Commission 40.00%
"Description: As a BookingBuddy affiliate, you will have the opportunity to earn 40% commissions on all revenue that is generated by traffic that you refer to our site.
In addition to comparison search tools, our BookingBuddy Deals Network contains over 40,000 travel deals for popular destinations around the world.
If you have a site about travel (news, air, hotel, car, vacation or cruise) we'd love to hear from you."
They probably mean all the revenue, that bookingbuddy gets (like less then $1 per booking), not all revenue that third party websites get. Similar to Kayak, who gives 50% commission.
Either way, I would really hurry to buy and will argue later with US.
P.S. I don't see BB listed with Pennyful anymore.

Wow! Just happened to see this when I went to a site I rarely go to - www.thepointsguy.com.
We have a family trip (6 of us) to Scottsdale in September. Just had not gotten around to booking yet - probably because I was pissed the flights were so much! Just booked thru Booking Buddy.
Came to $2,756 for all of us. At 18 miles per dollar, that will be a bonus of 49,356 miles! You can sure I'll be looking for them!

One big concern. Went on the US Air website and signed in. Went to the Mall and could not find Booking Buddy as one of the stores/vendors. Anyone concerned or am I looking in the wrong place?

Again guys. I think it's a huge mistake by US shopping mall, when they meant only 18 miles per dollar of Bookingbuddy.com revenue, which is only couple dollars for your booking. You can book it, but there is a risk you would need to have a huge fight to get miles based on $2000 spent, not $2 earned by booking buddy, when they realize what they did. At least, I think a chance it will post automaticly is about 0%.

I found it scrolling through the merchants. The search function on the US Air Skymall is horrible. Time to book now before they correct this.

for Chairman's Preferred this is 36 miles/ $!!
I just realized that if this is honored, Chairman's will get 36 miles/ $ with this. $1000 in spend will yield 36,000 miles. Wow!
