US Airways has recently implemented some great changes in its Dividend Miles program. There are now a number of ways you can earn rewards miles without having to book a flight. Browse the US Airways Dividend Miles site to get full information on opportunities and details but here are a few great examples of some easy ways to collect more airline miles to apply toward a free flight.
Earn US Airways Dividend Miles by reading emails from E-miles.com
Sign up for a free E-miles account which will be automatically linked to your Us Airways Dividend Miles account. If you opt-in for their E-miles emails, you will receive opportunities about once every two or three weeks through your email account that allow you to browse a few (rarely more than three) promotional offers.
The promotion gives you two options: You can follow through with the particular opportunity or service being featured for a large number of Dividend Miles; or you may simply deny the offer and answer about 3 total questions about various interests in your life for a very much lower amount of miles. It depends on the offers being given but in most cases if you choose to proceed with the brief survey instead of purchasing the promotional product or service, you get about 5-10 miles points per opportunity.
I realize this does not seem like a lot but trust me it adds up. Once your account balance gets to 500 points you can have them deposited into your Dividend Miles account where they will be added on to the current balance. Every bit counts. E-Miles
Earn Miles By Taking E-Rewards Opinion Surveys
Similar to the E-miles offer, E-Rewards allows members to accrue points from taking online surveys and exchange them for US Airways Dividend Miles. It is free to join E-Rewards and one can earn up to 2000 miles points per year through the program. You do have to be invited, however, to participate. You can increase the likelihood of receiving an invitation by updating your US Airways account profile to receive Dividend Miles News and Offers.
The surveys you will receive from E-Rewards are from legitimate market research companies. You will not get spam/junk mail for signing up and the surveys are based only on what you indicated your interests are upon your original registration with the site. The surveys are often fairly short as well and are actually kind of fun.
Turn Your Utility Payments Into US Airways Dividend Miles
Another incredible opportunity to make money as you sleep, (so to speak) is by utilizing the company Energy Plus as your electricity provider. Unfortunately this is open to residents in certain states only (CT, IL, MD, NJ, NY, PA, and TX) but those eligible have an amazing deal in front of them. For starters, once you’ve signed up for a personal or business account with Energy Plus Company and remain a customer for two months you get a lovely deposit of 5,000 bonus miles deposited into your US Airways Dividend Miles account.
If that’s not enough you get two miles for every dollar spent on the supply end of the energy service, and most exciting is there are no surprise fees or long-term commitments required. Follow this link for information on how to sign up for Energy Plus electricity as a US Airways customer.
Get Dividend Miles for Reading the Paper
You can get 1,000 bonus miles if you sign up for a subscription to receive the USA Today newspaper, and then 100 additional miles each month thereafter. To take advantage of this offer, you need to call 800-872-0001 and ask for offer 638. More Info
Earn Airline Miles for Magazine Subscriptions
Next time you need to renew subscriptions to your favorite magazines, go to the US Airways Dividend Miles website and sign up from there. The costs are regularly priced and you can earn about 200-300 bonus miles for each subscription. The list of magazines is extensive and features just about everything you’d see on a newsstand, plus more.
Use Local Businesses to Earn Bonus Airline Miles
US Airways has partnered with a program called Thanks Again, which rewards you Dividend Miles when you shop or dine at participating local businesses. There are thousands of companies that qualify, including restaurants, spas, retails stores, golf courses, dry cleaners, and more, and most of them offer a few points for every dollar spent.
Participating in the Thanks Again program is easy and it costs nothing on the consumer’s end. All you need to do is enroll at the Thanks Again website and register up to 5 credit cards that you use most often. The rewards will automatically be dispensed when you make purchases at qualifying locations with one of the cards you have on file.
There are still many other alternative ways to earn Dividend Miles from US Airways but the ideas in this overview were selected carefully to weed out the free or less expensive opportunities. If you are a big shopper or travel frequently and make a lot of reservations of various types, you may want to look at the US Airways Dividend Miles website for even more great ways to earn miles.
