US Airways Launches New Promotion for Preferred Status
US Airways has announced a shortcut to achieve Preferred Status in its Dividend Miles frequent flyer program.
Travelers can now earn a Preferred Status by flying the following number of miles or segments between October 1st and December 25th:
- 7,500 miles or 10 segments for Silver Preferred
- 15,000 miles or 20 segments for Gold Preferred
- 22,500 miles or 30 segments for Platinum Preferred
- 30,000 miles or 40 segments for Chairman's Preferred
With Preferred Status, travelers on US Airways or their partners are entitled to priority boarding, free checked bags, preferred seat assignments, and, in some cases, low cost upgrade opportunities. The promotion does not require registration; as long as you are a member of the Dividend Miles program, you will receive your new designation automatically if you meet the specified thresholds. The new status will take effect on January 10, 2010, and will last for one year.
