Miles For Shopping

Share with a friend

Are you leaving miles on the table?  Did you know you can earn miles for shopping?  That’s right, you can earn miles for doing something that you would ordinarily do.  Here’s how:

Many of the airlines have an eshopping portal where not only will you earn miles for your shopping, but you can earn bonus miles. And if you use your airline affiliated credit card, additional miles.

Like magazines? Order your favorites and receive 23 miles for every dollar spent.

Want to avoid the crowds during Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale?  Stay at home in your PJs, shop online, and earn 3 miles for every dollar spent.

Here’s a list of airline eshopping portals, click on each airline to be taken to their eshopping portal:

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best card to get started in the world of miles and points. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.

 

My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining, $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.

The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of an additional 1.5% cash back on all your purchases up to $20,000 your first year.

 

My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal, 3% cash back at drugstores and restaurants (including delivery and takeout), 1.5% cash back on all other purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card or Ink Business Cash® Credit Card, you can use your points to travel for free.
