The holidays are always great for shopping portal specials and bonuses. In fact, my wife just spent the past 10 minutes cancelling magazine subscriptions we bought last year that made buying American Advantage miles as comparable to the cost of MSing or slightly below. I don’t see any magazine subscription deals that are particularly awesome right now, but here is a roundup of some of the macro-portal bonuses:
uPromise 10% Tuesdays
uPromise’s 10% Tuesdays will continue every Tuesday for the rest of the holiday season. This week includes a list of 66 partners, some nice places to shop but nothing that jumps out for reselling opportunities. 10% cash back isn’t the most awesome of shopping portal specials, but its not bad.
Southwest Rapid Rewards
Offer is valid through 23 November. The terms and conditions specifically exclude Gift Cards. Really, this isn’t the most exciting, except that if you’re stacking this on a temporary bonus on Sears (6x today, 11/4/14) for example, its a nice bonus.
United MileagePlus Shopping
This is identified as a “private offer” so I suspect it is targeted, and its not an amazing shopping portal special as it is, but something is always better than nothing. I got 500 miles after $75 spend. Good through 15 November. Gift cards are excluded (as one would expect). There’s also a list of specific store exclusions in the terms.
Lands’ End: Not eligible on purchases made with coupon or discount codes that are not found on this site. Rewards eligible only on orders placed on landsend.com. Not eligible on purchases of gift wrapping. Not eligible on purchases made using Lands’ End gift cards as payment method. ShopYourWay Rewards is not eligible for rewards. Any return, exchange or other adjustment made at a physical store location for an on-line purchase may result in your purchase being deemed ineligible for reward.

La Mer: Not eligible on purchases made with coupon or discount codes that are not found on this site. Not eligible on gift cards, gift certificates or any other similar cash equivalents.
Alaska Mileage Plan
Good through 21 November, Alaska Mileage Plan has one of the more lucrative options out there. While Sears isn’t 8x today (like it was yesterday), there is still time for it to go back up. BigHabitat and FrequentMiler have more details about how the math can be upwards of 35x. Of course, there are plenty other stores at Alaska’s Mileage Plan mall.
Nice work. Thanks.
