Q2 Targeted Bonus for US Airways Mastercard from Barclays
Of course after I get the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and decide to migrate my purchases to that going forward I get this in my inbox:
Use your US Airways Dividend Miles MasterCard April 1 through June 30, 2013 and earn 2 bonus miles for every $1 you spend—up to 2,500 bonus miles—on purchases you already make today in the following categories¹:
 |
• Restaurant purchases (including fast food restaurants) |
| • Gas Station purchases | |
| • Home Improvement store purchases |
| Best of all, this is in addition to the miles you already earn for using your card every day. |
| You must activate this offer by April 20, 2013 to receive bonus miles |
This won’t derail me too much though. I’ll max out this promo pretty quickly and move right back to Chase to rack up some URs and hit the $3000 for the bonus.
My bonus says 5X.
I got targeted for 5 bonus miles in the same categories. Maximum is $5000 spend.
I received the same offer except I got 5 bonus miles instead of 2 bonus miles per dollar.
Grace, I think it’s targeted. I get 15K miles after $750/m spend per mo M/A/M. DH’s card gets bupkus. Offers must vary.
Yes, it’s targeted because the way to sign up is through the link in the email which is targeted.
Dang. Good thing I wasn’t going to pile onto the card this quarter. I’m not sure what airline will be the best for redemption to Brussels next summer so I was hoping to get some level of points built up in US.
Any tips on how to adjust spending on the US Airways MC to get targeted for these offers? I just got the card a couple months ago and I didn’t receive any bonus miles offers. I imagine the 3Q could be the last opportunity before the merger.
I got the card in November 2012 and this is the first targeted bonus I got. I went from spending ~$300/mo to $3000/mo from the end of last year to present so that is probably why I got a paltry 2 points. I’m shifting my spend back to Chase and my Hilton AMEX so I’ll probably get a better targeted bonus next time around.
