A little over a month ago I took a dive into the US Airways mileage pool by opening up my second version of the US Airways Premier World MasterCard. I received my second card in the mail, went and treated myself to lunch, and here we are a month later, and I have an extra 35,000 miles sitting in my account.

Where else on earth can you possibly earn a free trip by eating a sandwich? It is unprecedented what you can do with properly managed credit. Oh, but what about my credit score for opening up a new credit card? It went down 5 points, and within a couple of months it will quickly rebound to its previous state, if not higher because of the added credit available I now have on my account.

With any luck, I will be able to open another version of the same card before the merger with American Airlines. My only guess is that I may need to close one version of the card down though before getting approved for another.

See our original article for the best deals on the US Airways Premier World MasterCard, none of which are affiliate links. Before publishing this article, I made sure to do my own link mining as well as research across forums and other blogs to make sure those links were the best offers available.

As a reminder, also make sure to read over What You Need to Know About Your Credit before diving into opening any new credit cards to make sure you do what is ideal for your particular situation.
