- Tier 2 bonus: 1,000 miles for qualifying purchases of at least $250 or more.

Are these usually subtotal or after tax total thresholds?
Nevermind, portal says excluding tax and shipping.
How reliable is the AAdvantage portal for tracking purchases? I just bought my wife a 2000 bag on Saks and I’m a little nervous since I never used this portal before, unlike good ole’ reliable ebates.
I’ve had good luck with it. It used to be problematic years ago, but I think they’ve cleaned it up.
