Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
The American Airlines eShopping portal is currently offering 25 miles per dollar spent at StitchFix. This could stack several ways with a Chase Offer, an Amex Offer, and Rakuten to be a pretty good deal.

Quick Thoughts
I’m not sure that I’ve ever been accused of being particularly stylish, but I do have my personal sense of style. I’m not one to spend much on clothes, but the Amex Offer for Stitch Fix has come around a number of times and I’ve previously been intrigued. When I saw 25 miles per dollar, I thought this might be the time to finally give it a try.
That said, upon reading the terms, I realized that the 25 miles per dollar is only on the initial styling fee, which is $20. That means you can only get 500 miles. On its own, that may not sound like enough to influence a purchase decision.
However, I’m going to place an order thanks to Tim turning me on to a nice stack. Here’s what he found you should be able to do:
- Click through either AA eShopping to go to Stitch Fix and order your first styling ($20 cost, earn $500 miles)
- Pay that initial $20 styling fee with a Chase (or potentially Bank of America?) card loaded with a Chase Offer for $7 back on any amount, paying a net $13
- Decide on $70 worth of clothes to keep from your first “fix”. Your initial $20 styling fee (which cost you $13) gets applied to this.
- Click through Rakuten before buying from your “fix”. Get $70 worth of clothes for $50 after styling fee is applied.
- Use an Amex card loaded with the Amex Offer to pay that $50. Get $25 back from the Amex offer and $9 / 900 points back from Rakuten.
- Total out of pocket cost is $38 and if this all works you’ll earn 500 American Airlines miles on the initial order and 900 Membership Rewards points (or $9) from Rakuten and get $70 worth of clothes.
I’m not 100% positive this will all work, but it looks sound to me and is enough to convince me to give it a shot. I’m not a big spender on fashion, but I’ll take a swing a about half off on clothes picked out by someone with an actual sense of style that also comes with the AA miles and Membership Rewards points. If you value the miles and points at just 1c each, the net cost comes down to about $25 for 70 worth of clothes. That’s a decent stack that also inches me closer to AA elite status.

I did this before on a referral stack where it was close to free. The clothes are super lame/mostly poor mass produced quality. I would not call them very stylish (maybe trendy in a cookie cutter way)? Honestly not worth it other than for the miles. Better and more hip deals at goodwill and even Poshmark/eBay any day
It doesn’t look like card is immediately charged for the $20…maybe they do it when they ship the first box (which is after the Chase $7 back deal expires).
Hey SJT, my card was charged the same day i completed the order. You should see it today.
Thanks for the data point Tim!
Not even people in prison do deals like this, their time is more valuable…
Ha. That was funny. But this is actually the sort of thing I would try if I was into stylish clothing at all . . .
Brilliant. No reason why this won’t work. As for cancellation, I just signed up for the one time style rather than ongoing styling.
Good luck cancelling.
