BEST CURRENT US AIRWAYS® PREMIER WORLD MASTERCARD® OFFERS- Our family has done a nice healthy run on earning lots of US Airways Dividend miles thanks in part to their credit card. Over the course of a year and a half, my wife and I have both held dual The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®. What that means is that my wife and I have both earned anywhere from 35,000-40,000 miles after opening up the card and making the first purchase (Opened May 2012 [me], February 2013 [wife], March 2013 [me], September 2013 [wife]). Then all four of our cards were targeted with 15,000 bonus miles after spending $750 for 3 consecutive months. In addition, we received a 10,000 anniversary bonus on all cards.
I cancelled my first card early last summer and only carry one card now, while my wife still has both of hers. I tried opening a third card about a month ago, and was turned down, which I expected at this point.
The real key to balancing our future US Airways rewards is opening up new cards (and the risk that they may deny us another card) versus the anniversary bonus we stand to gain by holding onto the card(s). Clearly, the bigger player is the bonus for new cards, but at this time, we will just hang onto the cards for any spend and anniversary bonuses.
So I was curious what some of the best offers were out there at this time. Looking back at some of our older posts from last year, all the links for 35,000 miles after first purchase and the annual fee waived the first year are now expired. So I began messing around with links to find some “better” offers.
