Below, I outline the main ways in which to earn and accumulate US Airways Dividend miles.
1. Fly US Airways
Earn miles when flying on US Airways.
2. Fly American
(Read about the US Airways/American Airlines Merger Here)
You can now earn Dividend Miles on American Airlines. You’ll also earn Dividend Miles on US Airways marketed flights operated by American Airlines (also called a codeshare flight).
3. Use your Barclay Bank US Airways Premier World MasterCard credit card
When you use your Barclay Bank US Airways Premier World MasterCard credit card, you earn Dividend miles for each $1 spent. You earn 2 miles for every $1 you spend on US Airways purchases and 1 mile per $1 on other purchases. The current offer for this card is you earn 40,000 BONUS MILES after your first purchase and payment of the $89 annual fee. You can apply for this card here.
4. Transfer Starpoints to your US Airways Dividend Miles account
Starwood Preferred Guests can transfer up to 79,999 of their Starpoints per transaction per program within a 24-hour period to their US Airways Dividend Miles account at a 1:1 ratio. In addition, for every 20,000 Starpoints transferred within the same transaction, Starwood will automatically add another 5,000 Starpoints! This means that up to 94,999 Starpoints can be transferred into your frequent flyer account. (15,000 points transferred for the first 60,000 of the 79,999). Note, unlike some of the other programs in which you can transfer points to airlines, points transfers through SPG are not instantaneous.
5. Convert your unused or unwanted hotel points into miles
6. Earn miles by spending $ with US Airways partners
