I believe that those of us who really GOM last year are blacklisted in the DM system from receiving bonus perks like this double mile deal. No matter how few miles we're flying with US we won't be "targeted" for anything.
They didn't take the miles back last year, but can make sure we don't rack up more this year. I flew US more than I ever did last fall with GOM......now I've got little incentive to go out of my way for US.

Perhaps, but I only signed up for a single GOM. Im such a moron. If I had signed up for all of them I would already be CP for the year probably. Given the fares and schedules Im getting it may not matter anyway. Oh well.......

I am registered under PIT and have not received this promotion. I am a general div. miles member and have flown around 4000 preferred miles since Jan 1st.
Its a shame since i am actually based out of IND at the moment...if its true that hub-city residents aren't getting this promo for that reason, well, I'm kicking myself for not updating my profile

Guess those of us that live on the airline weekly don't deserve double miles?! I have trips booked from May 12 to July 9th all on USAirways every week and sometimes multiple cities in a few of those weeks. I guess they don't think I need the extra perks.
Oh well.
