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.
