US Airways Elite Mileage Bonuses Return

US Airways is reversing its decision to remove elite mileage bonuses.

Last summer US Airways angered its frequent flyers by removing the bonuses its 'elite' flyers receive for each mile they fly. Typically, people who fly 25,000 miles or more per year earn a bonus ranging from 25-125% on the miles they earn for being loyal to the airline.

Due to the outcry and the resulting loss of high value customers, US Airways is reinstating elite bonuses and making them retroactive. That is a nice gesture, but one that comes after a lot of damage was done to its most valuable customers.
