USAirways Club - 3,500 Preferred-qualifying miles
didn't see this posted yet.
3500 preferred miles for club membership
promo code CLB35
good for new or renewing memberships.
and $50 new member fee waived
as mine expired less than 1 year ago, I think that may leave me out.
but since it does allow the promo on 90 day memberships upgraded to annual, i can always go that route.

Nice, thanks for posting! My membership expires in Feb. I wonder if I renew now if it tacks on 12 months from today or 12 months from the end of my current membership.

How did you get shafted? Because, you know, that implies someone tricked or cheated you out of something. And if there's trickery afoot, please let others know so they can avoid it!
the T&C say "renewing member" is within 90 days of renewal. It's not clear if that's to renew at all or just miss the initiation fee but I have the feeling it's both 
PS this offer is good till August 31; I'm going to hold off a bit and see if there's a GS2011 and if there's any way to use this as a hit. I expire Aug 15 so this is great timing for me!!

DCP--peace--Well, we could parse words here but had I let my membership expire for a couple of months, there would have been 1) no penalty to pick it back up and 2) I would have gotten 3K more PQMs. So whether it was getting shafted or not is I guess irrelevant. As a memeber I was not treated the same as another member in terms of renewal benefit and there are a whole group of members whose renewal dates are not within the window where they can hit this deal. I've seen 1K PQMs offered for renewal and I guess next to 500 it's not that different but 3500 vs 500 is a cross country trip.
Just not feeling the love on this one.

I sincerely hope (wishful thinking only for now) this promo ends on 8/31 because the next great promo (cough Grand Slam IV cough) starts on 9/1. 
I'm only renewing if there's a cheapo sale like they've occasionally done in the sub-$300 price range (with no miles) or if I really need it for a promotional purpose. Otherwise Amex Platinum will be in my fall app-o-rama just before my current club membership runs out in October. And even then I might still use the Amex $200 fee credit towards a club membership for full RCC and *A lounge access.

If they can make it $269 + 3500 PQM, I would have given it a closer look. I do hope something better will show. However, looking at how quiet US has been for the first seven months, I really wondered if they would give any HSJ, DPQM promotions for elites, considering UA/CO, AA, and DL have been doing this all year long.

Been a "lurker" for years. Registered today to thank all for the heads up on this one.
