Yes.

Quick question..I know there have been problems in the past with US airways auditing accounts...Have there been problems with transfers to dormant accounts.

Why is this for such a short period of time? I am worrying mileage devaluation is imminent.

Hmm ... if only I had somewhere to go.

Much more insidious, they will block many international flights (as they are currently doing) so that you won't be able to use most of your miles :mad:

With the tiered structure of this promo, I cant decide how to max this for my families 3 accounts.
Account A - 10,000
Account B - 55,000 (soon to get another 35k CC bonus in January)
Account C - 100,000 (soon to get another 35k CC bonus in January)

suggestions?

I've booked 3 US-Japan J flights in the last month and everything I've seen open on United.com has been available with USairways agent.

why not buy this as in investment in AA miles?

Oh lord- here we go again....

Removing my post - my logic was bad :)

Then you should consider yourself very lucky. I tried to book a Europe-US award and despite seeing availability on united.com on TK and OS, the US agent told me I was limited to LH, UA and maybe US on the dates I was looking - I had her check 1 week out and still no change. I then changed the date and tried another 7 dates and still no luck. She was offering a 3-flight itinerary with 2 connections as opposed to a 1-stop on the carriers I wanted. So, I'm not sure if you got lucky but I certainly didn't. I'm sitting on 250,000+ miles and am trying to use them before the new AA management decides to revise their award charts ala DL and UA.

I'm in almost the exact same situation. Wish I could consolidate with this promo.


23k C to A, 50k A to C, 50K C to B. After the credit card bonuses post this leaves me with
A - 0
B - 190,000
C - 162,000
Total cost - $1412.25

Thoughts?

I'll give it another go just for fun this evening and report back. Maybe the Asian carriers are still showing better avail than European?

suggestions?

B>A 45k=> A has 100 cost 500
A>B 50k=> B has 110 + 35 CC = 145 cost 567
A>C 50k=> C has 200 & 35 CC = 235 cost 567
Simple
Total "new miles" about 145; cost 1135+515 = about 1650

It gets tougher when doing 20 accounts in a row and cleaning out some on the way
