The American Airlines and United shopping portals launched new promotions on Monday and now the Alaska Airlines portal is offering a similar promo.

Key Terms

Quick Thoughts

If you were to spend exactly $150, that works out to be a 3.33x bonus per dollar. That’s not a bad return, but it’s certainly worth comparing shopping portal rates on Cashback Monitor to see if another portal is offering a better return.

One of the great features of the Alaska portal is that it has an in-store card-linked feature, with purchases on a linked card also counting towards the $150 spending threshold. That means you don’t necessarily have to spend all $150 – or any amount at all – online as it can all be done with in-store purchases.
