Reactivation policy
Active membership status is based on having earned or redeemed miles within a defined period as stated below. To keep your account active, be sure to fly US Airways, apply for a US Airways MasterCard or Visa credit card, or earn miles with one of our over 50 other partners.
Effective January 31, 2007, active membership status is based on having earned or redeemed miles within a consecutive 18-month period. Miles are subject to forfeiture if no miles have been earned or redeemed within a consecutive 18-month period. Flight mileage credits are earned when an itinerary is flown; miles are considered redeemed at the time an award is ticketed. With our new Mileage Reactivation Policy, Dividend Miles members have an opportunity to reinstate forfeited miles for an additional 18 months for a fee:
* $50 1 – 4,999 miles
* $100 5,000 – 19,999 miles
* $200 20,000 – 49,999 miles
* $300 50,000 – 99,999 miles
* $400 100,000 or more miles
When you pay to reinstate forfeited miles, you must reinstate the entire balance of forfeited miles. If you do not reinstate forfeited miles within 36 months of the last activity date at the time of forfeiture, forfeited miles will be permanently deleted from your account and may not be reinstated. For purposes of this policy 'Last activity date at time of forfeiture' means the last date that the members earned or redeemed miles at the time miles were forfeited.
At 15-17 months of inactivity, customers can pay a $25 preservation fee to remain active for another 18 months.
