The holiday bonus offers are starting early this year!
American Airlines,
United Airlines and
Southwest Airlines are all offering bonus miles if you use their shopping portals. Shopping portals are online marketplaces that earn you extra miles when you shop. Remember we at almost FREE family travel do NOT support manufactured spend. Instead, let's maximize the power of what you are going to spend anyways.
For example, instead of typing in Old Navy in the search bar and shopping there, type in American Airlines shopping portal, log in with your Advantage membership information and then click on Old Navy in the marketplace. American will reward you with a few miles for each dollar spent. Plus if you spend enough before 11/20, they will give you bonus miles. The prices are the same, you are just harnessing the power or using leveraged spending.
Here are the details of each offer:
American
Spend $150 for 500 bonus miles
Spend $600 for 2000 bonus miles
Spend $1200 for 4000 bonus miles
United
Spend $150 for 500 bonus miles
Spend $750 for 2500 bonus miles
Spend $1500 for 5000 bonus miles
Both airlines are offering the bonus for shopping done between 10/30 and 11/19.
Southwest is also in the game with its new shopping portal. Here are the details of their offer:
Spend $150 for 500 bonus miles
Spend $500 for 1000 bonus miles
Spend $1000 for 3000 bonus miles
The bonus is for shopping done between 10/30 and 11/20.
So if you are trying to top off your accounts, my recommendation is to pick one airline portal and stick with it. You might buy a few holiday gifts early and earn a few miles on the side.
That's how we do it at almost free family travel.
