Dividend Miles members can earn up to 50,000 bonus miles with the Dividend Miles Grand Slam. Advance registration is required at usairways.com/grandslam or by calling 800-428-4322. The promotion runs from September 1, 2009 to November 15, 2009. Dividend Miles members earn one “hit” each time they complete a qualifying activity with a Dividend Miles partner. Members earn bonus miles for every 4th hit.

Only partner activity completed after registration counts. Grand Slam bonus miles do not count towards Preferred status, except for the 12th hit which includes 12,000 miles and a 4,000 Preferred-qualifying miles boost. US Airways will track hits and award bonus miles beginning on October 12, 2009 and continue to post miles monthly (on November 12, 2009, December 15, 2009, January 15, 2009 and finally February 15, 2010) to ensure miles are posted on time; also to allow sufficient time for all partner activity to be recorded by US Airways. The maximum amount of bonus miles that can be earned with this promotion is 50,000 per member.
