In keeping with today's theme of buying Loyalty Program miles or points, US Airways is currently running a promotion that actually is a great value. Basically they are offering to double the number of miles you buy from them, up to 50,000 miles.
So if you buy 50,000 miles at 2.5 cents per mile for a total of $1250 plus a $30 transaction fee, you will get another 50,000 miles for no cost. US airways is not the most lavish of airlines out there, but you can also redeem these miles for flights on other Star Alliance Airlines, making these miles a great value.
100,000 miles are enough to travel from North America to South America in First Class, or 80,000 miles ($1000) will get you from North America to Europe in Business Class on a premium airline like Swiss or Lufthansa.
