Obviously, if you are not a Dividend Miles member, please sign up there first. Status lasts 90 days - if you actually qualify the old fashioned way during this period, it automatically gets extended to the end of the program year.

Thanks... i missed the part where it may take 14 days. I will look forward to the email update. I did get this email in my US airways dividend email account so its legit and valid for me

I wonder if the 90 days is after the 14 day 'clearance' time, or if you really get 76 days...

That huge Budget ad is totally misleading, smack dab in the middle of the silver offer description.

I don't plan any flights with them in the next 90 days, but what the heck! You never know. Thanks for the tip.

Awesome... Someone is 'Selling' the details for this promo on eBay for $12.95 each!
