You probably got a few emails from US Air lately. One is for a 100% bonus buying miles. It’s an ok deal. Nothing too great or unique. The better option is a 100% bonus sharing miles here.
Basically, by sending 50,000 of your miles to someone, they get an extra 50,000 mile bonus. You do have to pay, but it’s well under $600 for the 50,000 miles (a really good price). Considering the Grand Slam is nowhere to be found, this could be something to look at if you don’t mind spending money.
You can make it a family affair, “giving” 50,000 miles to your mom, who can give 50,000 miles to your spouse, who can give 50,000 miles to your sibling, who can give 50,000 miles to you. Each recipient would pick up a bonus 50,000 miles.
