Bottom line

There are some good promos out to earn bonus miles on your last-minute shopping this week. Be sure to consider the value of these extra miles as you compare portal rates. Keep in mind that the spend thresholds typically do not include tax or shipping. For example, if you must spend $150, you’ll need to spend that much before tax and shipping in most circumstances. While the bonus terms usually exclude gift card purchases, be sure to check our Laboratory for opportunities to double dip and our Instant Gift Card Deals resource page if you’re just looking to save a few bucks by buying a discounted gift card before you go through the portal.
