We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

An Even Better Bonus on the Barclaycard US Airways Card!

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

Update:   This offer is no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

I wrote about the increased 50,000 mile sign-up bonus on the Barclaycard US Airways card a few days ago.

Thanks to Million Mile Secrets readers for pointing out a better offer for this card!

For a limited time, you can get 50,000 miles PLUS another 10,000 miles on your account anniversary.  The previous offer did not include the anniversary miles, so this is a much better deal.

This isn’t my link, but Emily and I will always tell you about better offers even when they don’t earn us a commission.

What’s the Deal?

You’ll get a 50,000 mile bonus with the Barclaycard US Airways card after you make your 1st purchase and pay the $89 annual fee.  And when you renew your card in a year, you’ll get another 10,000 miles.

Note: Even though the offer says it’s specifically for US Airways Preferred members, this hasn’t generally been enforced on previous targeted offers.
Get 50,000 Miles Plus 10,000 Miles on Your Card Anniversary

This card also gives you:

Enjoy Free Snacks and Beverages Before Your Flight With an Admirals Club Lounge Pass

US Airways and American Airlines are merging, so your US Airways miles will become American Airlines miles in the 2nd quarter of 2015.

At that time, this card will also offer:

This deal could get you lots of Big Travel with Small Money!  For example, 50,000 miles (when they become American Airlines miles) is enough for an off-peak round-trip award ticket to Japan (October 1 to April 30).

Sashimi Anyone? You Could Use the 50,000 Mile Sign-Up Bonus to Fly Round-Trip to Japan
Note: Because of the merger, the Barclaycard US Airways card will be discontinued.  So this could be your last opportunity to get this card with an increased sign-up bonus!

After the card is phased out, existing cardholders will receive the new Barclaycard AAdvantage Aviator card, but it won’t be open to new applicants.

What If You’ve Already Applied for the Card?

If you recently applied for the Barclaycard US Airways card, either with the 40,000 mile bonus or 50,000 mile offer (without the anniversary miles), call Barclaycard to see if you can be matched to the better offer.

Don’t Be Afraid to Pick Up the Phone and Ask Barclaycard to Increase Your Bonus If You Applied Earlier
Million Mile Secrets readers and folks on FlyerTalk confirm that Barclaycard will often give you the extra miles.  It sounds like you’ll have the most luck if you applied for your card after November 1, 2014.

But even if you got the card earlier than that, it’s worth a try!

Bottom Line

Many thanks to Million Mile Secrets readers for letting us know about a better offer for the Barclaycard US Airways card.  You’ll get 50,000 miles after your 1st purchase and payment of the $89 annual fee, plus 10,000 miles on your card anniversary.

Update:  Some folks report being denied for not being a Preferred member, so you may want to consider the Barclaycard US Airways 50,000 mile card (without the anniversary miles) instead.

Even though we don’t earn a commission for this deal, Emily and I will always share better offers with our readers!

If you’ve recently applied for the card with a lower sign-up bonus, call Barclaycard to see if they’ll match you to the better offer.  Many folks have been successful!
