Shopping portals are once again allowing shoppers to earn extra miles for their holiday shopping via special shopping bonuses. American, United, and Southwest are each offering opportunities to earn bonus miles when utilizing their shopping portals. As usual, the offers are similar but not identical between the different airlines.
If you’re not familiar with shopping portals, read my article on them here to find out how you can earn extra miles through them.
Here are the details:
- Spend $150 earn 500 bonus miles
- Spend $600 earn 2,000 bonus miles
- Spend $1,200 earn 4,000 bonus miles
- Expires November 19th
- Spend $150 earn 500 bonus miles
- Spend $750 earn 2,500 bonus miles
- Spend $1,500 earn 5,000 bonus miles
- Expires November 19th
- Spend $150 earn 500 bonus miles
- Spend $500 earn 1,000 bonus miles
- Spend $1,000 earn 3,000 bonus miles
- Expires November 20th
All of these bonuses are earned in addition to the earnings you receive based on your purchase. Over the next few weeks, be on the lookout for special bonus rates for certain stores. You might be able to earn 10 miles per dollar or more at certain stores but these bonus rates may only hang around for a day or so, so try to monitor your stores as much as you can. You can often click on the “offers” tab to see what some of the special rates being offered are. Websites like cashbackmonitor.com are perfect for scanning rates for multiple portals at once.
