Share the gift of travel this holiday season - share your miles with a friend or family member. It's an economical way to help someone travel.
This Cyber Week, from December 2–6, we're making sharing even sweeter with a special holiday bonus miles offer that can help you give up to DOUBLE the miles.
The more you share, the more bonus miles your friend or family member will receive.
US Website for info:
https://buy.points.com/marketing/usairways/landingpages/share.html?CAMPAIGNCODE=003_25_0110_BYUP50000BNS00 0000000_021213
Both accounts must be >= 12 days old.
NOTE: It is against the Flyertalk Guidelines & Rules to offer to trade, outside of Coupon Connection. Disciplinary action will be taken if there are posts to that effect.

Shared 50'000 miles + bonus from account A to account B yesterday. The receiving account (B) had a starting balance of 63'000. The new balance on account B is now 143'000. Means there are missing 20'000 miles. On the online statement of account B its showing the credit of 50'000 'Shared miles' and 50'000 of 'DEC 2013 UP TO 100% BONUS - SHARE'. No miles had been redeemed in the last weeks from this account. And thats the only share transaction on both accounts in this round...
Anybody else encountered that problem too? Did not have the time yet to call US or points...

I would love to take advantage of this promo but unfortunately I can't find anyone that I know has 50000 points to begin with. I also have no points to start this transfer

Did my 5th and 6th transfers today between accounts 5 and 6 and they were not instantaneous as my first 4 were. this is probably because account 6 has not been used in over 18 months. 5th Transfer took 10 hours and still waiting on transfer 6 to occur 5 hours into it.

Were they all on the same credit card? I have the same issue right now, transactions 1-4 on Card1 went through immediately. Transaction 5 on Card1 got to the confirmation page but the miles haven't deducted/posted yet. Tried transaction 6 on Card2 (different name, same address) and that hasn't posted yet either... =\

Update on this: I just had all 4 pending transactions post simultaneously 4 minutes ago (7 mins after the hour). All the emails / PayPal notifications / etc came through at the same time. I'm guessing someone just had to press a button to flush everything through. Hope everyone else's pending transactions just posted too!
Transactions 1-4: All on credit card A, all went through immediately. None of the account names matched credit card A details.
Transaction 5: 5th transaction on credit card A, held for a few hours until 9:07 EST. Account names didn't match card details.
Transaction 6: 1st transaction on credit card B, held for a few hours until 9:07 EST. Account names didn't match card details.
Transaction 7: 1st transaction via PayPal (linked to credit card A). Held for a few hours until 9:07 EST. Recipient account matched Paypal.
Transaction 8: 2nd transaction on credit card B, held for a few hours until 9:07 EST. Account names didn't match card details.
*waited until transactions 5-8 cleared at 9:07 EST, then started transactions 9-12.
Transaction 9: 6th transaction on credit card A, still pending. Account names didn't match card details.
Transaction 10-12: 3-5th transactions on credit card B, still pending. Only the recipient account on transaction 11 matched card details.
Note that credit cards A & B have different names, but the same address. It's interesting that even the 1st transaction on credit card B and the PayPal account were blocked; and transactions 5-8 were all on different computers and browsers. So a simple counting of times a credit card was used wouldn't explain this. Perhaps there is a different identification such as the first 3 bytes of your IP? This may explain other's getting their transactions put on hold on their first/second try and stated in previous threads. Just an idea...
ps. before I get flamed - all 12 accounts are legitimate, real-life family and friends.

Hi sorry for the noob question, but what are the fees for doing a transfer with a friend? The fine print says "Miles are shared for $0.01 per mile plus a processing fee of $30 and a tax recovery charge of 7.5%." So 50k mile transfers cost how much exactly?
