US Airways Buy Up 2015
I'm a US Airways Chairman and I'm looking to retain my status for 2015 through the Buy Up program.
I have a flight on December 31st, which will put me in the 85,000 – 89,999 tier. I know that it sometimes takes a few days for them to credit miles. Will it leave me with enough time to Buy Up?

Welcome to Flyertalk, tworcester!
As your thread is connected with US Airways, I'll move it over to that forum, and more than likely consolidate into our thread on Buy Up.

I use Webflyer for quick calculations, but when pinpoint accuracy is needed for US flights, I prefer the US timetable mileage calculation.

I just happened to be looking at the web site today. It appears they have taken away the option for Chairman to buy-up to "retain" status. Not sure if that will change after the end of the year, but not a good sign. I assume this is part of the changing status structure post AAdvantage integration.
see this link and note the footnote that says for Chairmen "Renewal not available"

It's badly spaced (should be placed under 2014 EQMs column), but in context it means renewal not available for present Chairman's with < 85k EQMs for 2014.

If I hold Chairman's Preferred status through February 28, 2015, can I still renew my Chairman's Preferred status even if I don't end 2014 within 15,000 Preferred qualifying miles, or 15 segments of re-qualifying?
No. You will need to meet the required thresholds in order to be eligible to use this offer to retain your Dividend Miles Chairman's Preferred status.
