US Airways & American Airlines Confirm Merger
Posted on 15. Feb, 2013 by PointsAdvisor.
Yesterday US Airways and American Airlines officially announced their upcoming merger.
To keep you in the loop, we’ve shared the information that US Airways sent to their members below:
“Today we announced that American Airlines and US Airways will combine to create a premier global carrier. Operating under the iconic American Airlines name, one of the most recognized brands in the world, the combined airline will have a robust global network, a strong financial foundation and one of the most modern and efficient fleets in the industry. We are excited about what the combination of our two great airlines means for our valued customers.”
What does this mean for you?
Until the merger actually happens, it’s business as usual with both programs on Points.com. See the below excerpt from US Airways on how they’re advising their loyalty program members:
“Until the merger is complete, US Airways and American Airlines will remain separate companies and each company will maintain its current loyalty programs (US Airways – Dividend Miles and American Airlines – AAdvantage®). In the meantime, existing miles will continue to be honored, and there will be no impact to your US Airways MasterCard® or US Airways Visa® card. Customers can continue to book travel and track and manage flights as well as frequent flyer activity on www.usairways.com. You can also continue to earn and redeem mileage for travel awards with us and our Star Alliance™ partners.We expect the combination to be completed in the third quarter of 2013. Additional information will be provided to customers of our frequent flyer program on any future program updates, including account consolidation or benefit alignment. In the meantime, please visit www.usairways.com/
There’s no action required to continue tracking and using your Dividend and AAdvantage Miles on Points.com.
