Amex has a beautiful site which outlines all the details. https://www.americanexpress.com/au/content/all-cards/

thanks. Haven't ventured there yet, but I think my heart will skip a few beats, if I need to buy a pricey refundable ticket - to buy the miles, and then cancel ticket for a refund. But I guess nothing technically wrong with it. Has it worked well for you?

Best way is to buy 40k + gets 12k bonus, and buy 20k + gets 5k bonus. Results: buy 60k reaching max limit and get 17k in bonus = 77k in points. The prev offer of 50% bonus was better, buy 60k + 30k bonus. More points is better for me = more locations. I see they are starting to play games...

Just got a targeted offer from United Mileage Plus. Ends 8th April. CDT. Buy 4k-11k miles, save 20% Buy 12k-24k miles, save 25% Buy 25k or more miles, save 30% Not as good as the regular 40% offers I think. It seems the airlines are cutting back on the value, and seeing if people still bite.

A number of people (and me!) just received a double status credits email from Qantas, so this topic could just become much more interesting. whoohoo!!

The April Dividend Miles offer is out - Share your miles and give 50% more. yawn...

Anyone else had originally 25% and now gets 100%? I'm still waiting from my friends account to come good over the next two days - he just checked and still 25% 8-(

waiting waiting, till they throw open the doors to 100% bonus for everyone. I know they did it last time...

Flashware - what do you mean, your bonus is jumping from 100% to 25% to 100%? Did you have a history of past purchases?

interesting... my friend, a new member was and still is 25%, hope it changes so he can come on a trip with me.

doh! Conditon Number 5 - MileagePlus accounts less than 10 days old may not purchase or receive purchased miles. Might have to wait for the next offer.

Do you know if you can just open a new account and start buying bonus miles? (unlike a 12day wait for US airways program)? thanks

I don't understand this promo, give it a few weeks and probably it will revert to 100% bonus for everyone - as they will have no taker at anything less than 100% bonus. It seems like they are trying to test how desperate the market is, and if we are prepared to buy at less than 100% with an eye...

Hi, My personal opinion is that it is ok, as the same address would justify that it is your partner/family or at least a v.close friend who you are booking the points for and hence, less likely to have 'sold' your points for a flight. Basically, I would think US airways conducts an audit when it...

Hi, Has anyone tried to buy miles under the current 50% bonus targeted promo? I have a friend who has opened a new account in the last week of Jan (so has now opened more then 12 days), and have received two emails from US Airways encouraging him to participate in the 50% bonus, but when he...

Hi, Has anyone tried to buy miles on this 50% bonus promo. (I got the offer email) It isn't so clear when you try to buy, if any bonus will be applied, as the screen doesn't mention anything (even if I did click thru from the email and entered my details). This is unlike prior offers when the...

I've done some further checking. The two flights I was looking at was QF1 and QF9, which are both QF metal, and they fly SYD/MEL via Dubai all the way to London (without offload onto EK code-share). Hence my confusion, as to why I only saw Economy award seats, and no Business of First award...

Re: US Dividend Miles Buy/Gift Miles 100% bonus - Cheap way for F/J *A Awards oops - somehow my subject line changed to US Airways. This definately is an Advantage buy miles discussion. MEL_Traveller, your logic sounds right, and that was what I alway had thought. But that doesnt explain why...

Re: US Dividend Miles Buy/Gift Miles 100% bonus - Cheap way for F/J *A Awards Hi bcworld, Very interested in trying out Emirates First class, in your post you had a example MEL-LHR via DXB flying QF9 first class all the way. I've tried to replicate it but the AA search engine now only comes...

thanks for your help. Would certainly be caught up the **** creek without any paddles at the airport.
