US Airways Credit Card

Final call for the US Airways Credit card

I just received today the latest offer from Barclays Bank Delaware for the US Airways co-branded credit card. This is a solid card with a nice offer that is going to vanish soon. So hurry up! It is well accepted that Citi will be the new credit card issuer for the combined American Airline / US Airways once the merger is complete.

So probably one of the last opportunity for astute travelers to grab the Barclays US Airways Mastercard before it disappears for good. Remember, this comes with 30,000 miles free which is sufficient for more than one domestic round trip in North America on US Airways or any of its Star Alliance partners such as Air Canada or United Airlines. It may also be used for a free one-way ticket to Hawaii and an off-peak flight to South America or Europe. There is an additional 10,000 miles leading up to a 40,000 mile offer for balance transfers but I do not particularly recommend that.

In addition, you get two $99 companion-certificates for roundtrips within the 48 contiguous states and Canada. This can be of significant value for high-value airline tickets such as the ones for major holidays (Thansgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas) when airfares skyrocket.

The US Airways Mastercard will most probably disappear once the American Airlines and US Airways merger is complete which is scheduled to happen later this Summer. So this is probably one of the last opportunity to apply for this credit card.

You can apply here for the US Airways card.
