US Airways 100% Bonus for buying Dividend Miles is back

The ever popular 100% Bonus on buying US Airways Dividend Miles is back. The offer runs from June 1st to 30th and has the same rules as last time that you have to have been a Dividend Miles member for at least 12 days, so be sure to sign up for Dividend Miles by June 17 if you are not a member yet. The promo allows you to buy up to 50,000 miles (so 100,000 in total with the bonus) at 3.5 cents per mile (effective rate is 1.75 cents per mile) plus taxes of $131.25 for total of $1881.25. Considering that can get you a business class ticket between North America and Europe or Asia that can cost a lot more this is a good deal! This offer is via Points.com again so you may have to register with them like the promo from earlier this spring (I will update this post tomorrow once all the details are out)

100% Bonus US Airways Dividend Miles when you buy miles between June 1 - 30, 2012!

May 31 19:20MST UPDATE: I just re-read the email and it states "purchase US Airways® Dividend Miles® and receive 100% Bonus Miles automatically" so it does not look like you will have to register with points.com this time around.

Win 10 free nights at the Hyatt Place of your choice

The Hyatt PR team forwarded me their latest press release that came out 2 weeks ago, so I am sure many other bloggers have covered this but for those readers who may have missed it here it is! The press release is for the Hyatt Place brand and as part of their commitment to a great free breakfast when staying at Hyatt Places they conducted a survey on morning challenges. They have combined it with a contest to promote the a.m. Kitchen Skillet, a bigger and better free breakfast from Hyatt Place and taken straight from their news release, here are the details ont the contest

Morning Meltdowns Contest

Hyatt Place is paying homage to the mornings that don’t start so well with a new contest on Facebook, Morning Meltdowns. Whether it’s snoozing and missing a morning meeting or spilling hot coffee during your commute, Hyatt Place fans are encouraged to share their ridiculous, most memorable morning meltdown and vote for their favorites. To help turn those lousy mornings around, the winner of the contest will win 10 free nights at any of the more than 165 Hyatt Place locations, plus a catered breakfast for his or her morning crew featuring items from the new a.m. Kitchen Skillet – delivered for free!

To enter the Morning Meltdowns contest, and for complete official rules and submission guidelines, please visit facebook.com/hyattplace.* To learn more about Hyatt Place or to find a Hyatt Place for your next trip, visit hyattplace.com.

The contest is open to residents of the 50 U.S. states and D.C. (no luck for us Canadians or all of my global readers) and runs until June 29.
