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!

Just checked my status this morning and it now reflects silver. I enrolled on Monday . . . wahoo you guys rock!!!!!!

United has a different program. You need to enroll in the US Airways program to participate in this promo.
If you use the US Airways # on a United reservation during the promo period you can enjoy the Star Silver benefits.
However, the miles you accumulate would go to the USAIR program.

Thanks OP. I just upgraded my friend who is flying with them on 8/23

Beatnitup said: Thanks View for the clarification. I'm already premier status and have about 75K FF miles with united, not sure if it would be possible to combine FF miles from US air program once the promotion is over.

There is not a way to combine miles between a United account and a US Airways account. Since you're already Premier on United, the only real benefit would be if you fly on US Airways metal between now and the end of the year. If you have your silver US Airways number in the reservation, that gives you a chance at the upgrades to first class.

Fantasic! Just signed up. I fly all the time, but rarely with US Air -- maybe this'll change that. If someone successfully uses this, please share on here. I am planning a trip to Germany in October and will try to hold out another 14 days to book the ticket and see if it works. Happy traveling!

Note that USAirways doesn't comp transatlantic business ("Envoy") class through their preferred program. This deal isn't quite that hot.

kayetd said: Looking to use a "buy 1 get 2 companion tickets for $99 each" from FL to AZ in Oct. Anybody know if they'll upgrade my ticket based on the discounted flight?
Upgrades are given on a "seat available" basis. If seats are available, you will get the upgrade. However, your companions will stay in coach.

Great Deal, I'm flying all over the place last minute and try to fly Delta, but end up on US a lot as well. Thanks!

Free is free. Also, no airlines gives free upgrades on international flights.

nuts, it would have been nice last week. flew us air, pre-paid online for one bag (non-refundable), us air changed my flight and told me i couldn't check my bag and to just carry it on.... so i paid 15$ to carry my own bag during two layovers. at least with this deal i would have been carrying my bag around for free.

Just went on business Wed-Sat. Flew EWN-CLT-PHX-SNA and then SNA-PHX-CLT-EWN. The two first-class'able flights, CLT-PHX-SNA and SNA-PHX-CLT, I was not upgraded on any of the 4. Bummer. Ended up about 1000 miles short of the short-cut upgrade for all of 2010.
