For a while now, there has been an unofficial 35,000 mile-offer for the US Airways Mastercard, with the first year’s annual fee waived and an annual 10,000 mile bonus. That offer has recently been taken down, though there is another higher offer of 40,000 miles after first purchase. The $89 annual fee is not waived, but the offer is higher than the affiliate version.
As some of you may know, US Airways will leave the Star Alliance and merge into the AAdvantage program by March 31, 2014. There has been some speculation that the Barclay US Airways card would convert to an Arrival card. Barclay recently announced that the card would instead be converted to an AAdvantage card. Those who do not have the US Airways card before the merger will not be able to apply for a Barclay AAdvantage card – that’s because Citi is the exclusive issuer of the AAdvantage cards and Barclays is only allowed to convert existing accounts.
If you’re looking for a nice sign-up bonus and an extra card that earns AAdvantage miles in the future, pick up the US Airways card from Barclay.
