💳 How to Triple Stack Points on Every Online Purchase
Every time you shop online, there's a question worth asking: how many points or miles can I earn here?
Earning some points? Nice. Earning double points by layering two sources? Even better. Earning triple points across three sources at once? That's the triple stack — and it's one of the most satisfying moves in the points game.
Here's how it actually works, with a real purchase to show you exactly what's possible.
🌸 The Triple Stack in Action: A Flower Delivery Example
The goal: Buy birthday flowers for a friend ($66 total)
Flower delivery services are basically interchangeable, so the smarter move is choosing the one that earns you the most — not just picking the first result that pops up.
🔍 Step 1: Check for Credit Card Bonus Portals
Chase has an ongoing partnership with the digital payment platform Paze that earns 10x Ultimate Rewards points plus a $10 statement credit on purchases. The first step is checking the Paze merchant directory under flowers and gifts — and sure enough, 1-800-Flowers is listed. Read here about how to link your credit card to Paze.
✅ That locks in Layer 1.
🖥️ Step 2: Check Shopping Portals
Head to CashBackMonitor.com to see every shopping portal where 1-800-Flowers is listed. This is where you decide if a hotel or airline portal makes more sense than a cashback option.
A few things to consider at this step:
- Is any airline or hotel portal running a bonus promotion right now?
- Do you need to top off a specific loyalty account before a trip?
- Are any of your points or miles close to expiring?
In this case, the American Airlines AAdvantage shopping portal made the most sense.
✅ That locks in Layer 2.
💰 Step 3: Pay with the Right Card
Check out using Paze with your linked Chase Freedom Flex or Sapphire credit card.
✅ That locks in Layer 3.
🏆 The Triple Stack Breakdown
Here's what a $66 flower purchase earned:
| Source | Reward |
|---|---|
| American Airlines shopping portal | 350 AAdvantage miles |
| Chase Freedom base earn | 66 Ultimate Rewards points |
| Paze 10x bonus | 660 Ultimate Rewards points |
| Paze statement credit | $10 back |
Total: 350 AA miles + 726 Chase points + $10 statement credit — on a $66 purchase you were going to make anyway.
🗺️ The Triple Stack Formula
Whenever you're about to buy something online, run through this quick checklist:
- Check your credit card bonus offer (Chase Paze, Amex Offers, 5x bonus categories, Rakuten.com etc.)
- Check shopping portals on CashBackMonitor.com to find the best rate
- Choose the portal that fills a loyalty gap (expiring points, upcoming trip, bonus promo)
- Pay with the card that earns the most in that category
The key is always checking before you check out — once the purchase is done, those layers are gone. 🎯
