It is back to school season, and so it is yet another opportunity to earn extra miles through airline shopping portals! I’ve written a bunch about the power of shopping portals, and how you can increase your miles and points balances through shopping portals. This is a great opportunity to do just that, thanks to American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines.

Delta SkyMiles Shopping


Delta is unfortunately the least rewarding, requiring up to $350 spend to earn 1,000 miles, that’s only slightly more than 2x.





AAdvantage eShopping


American Airlines is offering up to 2,000 bonus miles for shopping now through 18 August. Total spend is only $500, so you’re essentially getting an extra 4x miles if you get to that level.





Rapid Rewards Mall


Southwest is only slightly less rewarding, offering 2,000 after $550 spend, which is slightly less than 4x.



MileagePlus Shopping


United is the most rewarding offering 3,000 miles after $600 spend, or 5x.



Final Thoughts – Earn 8,000 bonus miles from Airline Shopping Portals


While 8,000 bonus miles is not a ton, every little bit helps toward accruing enough miles to redeem for awards. More importantly, shopping portals are in general a great way to keep miles balances active too, and with these bonuses, you get a little extra bang for your buck.

Thanks for the great information. This certainly helps if you need to add only a few more miles to the pile to get to another airline award.

I realize purchasing gift cards will not earn the bonus miles. But how do merchants analyze customer receipts to make sure no GCs were in the total? Is it built into the merchant's software and kicks it out?
