We appreciate the feedback. This is a US Airways promo and we are not involved. I will forward your comments for review.
It sounds a little short, but she really wasn't. I just copied this out of what was a longer reply about another issue as well.
So it is US Airways... and still feel that letters to Marketing should be written.

Does anyone know how the miles back works, is only 50% of the miles deducted, is it placed back in your acct at some point?

Would love to know more information about this promo even if I'm not included.
I am US Gold, about to re-qualify for gold, have nearly 200k miles and have the mastercard and didn't receive this promo or any of the other recent credit card related ones.

Question:
Does anyone know if I need to travel by myself in order to to get the 50% back or I can book for someone else and get the bonus as well?

It just says redeem, this seems to be a pretty open promo. So I would believe reading the tc it doesn't matter who travels just that the miles get redeemed but would love some clarification.

Just booked two to E Asia with Europe stop-over in business for 90k each, would love to get 30k x2 back. Nada on the promo front, did everyone get this offer on the first or is it a roll-out? I have no status, had 40k in two accounts as of yesterday.

So, to add to the confusion here (or maybe I'm just confused on whether it's targeted!), here's my exchange w/Barclays via secure messaging:
Me: "Hi - I heard someone referring to a discount (I think 25%) on reward flights for cardholders. Do I need to register for this promotion and where would I do that? Thank you."
Barclay CS: "Thank you for contacting us regarding your US Airways Dividend Miles World MasterCard.
You may be referring to one of your benefit on the account, which is the 5,000 Mile Award Discount. With this benefit, you will get a 5,000 mile redemption discount off of each Eligible Award Ticket. Discount will not show on your credit card account. You must spend $25,000 in Net Purchases during a calendar year to have the US Airways Award Processing Fee waived. You must also contact US Airways at 800-428-4322 to redeem. We hope you find this information helpful.
If you have any other questions and concerns, please reply to this message.
Sincerely,Customer Service "
Me: "Hi - No, this is not the standard 5000 mile discount benefit as described below, but a promotional rebate of award miles of up to 50% for cardholders."
Barclay CS: "Dear XXX :
Thank you for contacting us regarding your US Airways Dividend Miles World MasterCard. We can certainly address your inquiry regarding the dividend miles promotion on your account. To qualify for the promotion you would need to redeem 20,000 miles between 10/1/2013 and 11/30/2013 for travel before 3/31/2014 and you will get the percent back on your dividend miles. You do not have to register for the promotion.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please reply to this message.
Sincerely,Customer Service "
Just to clarify, I never received an email notification about the promotion. I checked all my junk, etc.. I'm going to write back to ask them for specifics, i.e. T&C, what % back, what if I redeem more than 20k mi., what is the miles limit on rebate.
UPDATE:
After I asked for T&C they came back and said sorry, we were mistaken, we have no record of this promotion on your account, screw! (I'm paraphrasing
) So, guess I'm SOL on this one.

I got the promo of 50% back. I booked award ticket for my brother today for 60,000 miles. I just realized that I didn't use my US airways credit card to pay for the extra fee etc. Is that fine or should I take the risk of cancel the ticket and try to re-book it? Thanks!
