Heads up, air miles addicts! The US Airways Premier World MasterCard, which flight attendants are now pushing in-flight with brochures and application forms, comes with a lucrative bonus.
To sign up for the card and get the full bonus, go here, click on "Airline Miles Cards" in the left-hand column, and find the US Airways limited time offer on the first page of results that loads -- directly below the Virgin America Visa Signature card, which we also recently reviewed on here.
This version of US Airways' popular credit card allows you to "earn up to 40,000 bonus miles on qualifying transactions," and redeem flights for 5,000 fewer miles.
Additionally, cardholders enjoy priority Zone 2 boarding on every flight. This is useful if you have carry-on bags that need to go in an overhead bin before they fill up. You'll also enjoy First Class check-in privileges, and cardholders get an "annual companion certificate good for round-trip travel for up to 2 companions at $99 each" -- a solid deal if you want to go on vacation with a friend or partner.
Although there is no introductory APR on purchases, this card offers 0% Intro APR for 15 months on approved balance transfers. You'll also earn 2 miles per $1 spent on US Airways purchases, and 1 mile per $1 spent everywhere else.
The verdict: If you fly US Airways often, I'd totally recommend this robust rewards card. It makes travel more rewarding, and the balance transfer offer is surprisingly generous for an airline card. Our favorite airline miles card, however, continues to be the Capital One Venture Rewards card since miles earned on a Venture Rewards card can be used toward travel on any airline -- or toward any other legitimate travel expense, including car rentals and hotel stays.
