(EXPIRED) American Airlines Shopping Portal: Earn 500-2,000 Bonus Miles

Last week we shared about how the Alaska, United and Southwest shopping portals were all offering a Back To School bonus with various tiers of bonus miles.

Somewhat belatedly, the American Airlines shopping portal is getting in on the act and is offering up to 4x bonus miles per dollar spent by August 18.

The Deal

• Earn bonus miles when shopping through the American Airlines shopping portal:
  • Spend $150 & get 500 bonus miles (3.33x)
  • Spend $300 & get 1,000 bonus miles (3.33x)
  • Spend $500 & get 2,000 bonus miles (4x)
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Expires August 18, 2019.

Quick Thoughts

Although this promotion has been launched a week after the other portals, you still have three weeks to take advantage of the deal if you want to give your AAdvantage account a boost.

The tiered multiples are good too, with 3.33x bonus miles per dollar when spending exactly $150 or $300 and 4x if spending exactly $500. That’s a better return than the Alaska and Southwest portal bonuses, although not quite as good as the United bonus. It also depends on how you value the miles for all these different airlines.

As always, check Cashback Monitor before buying anything because even when taking into account the bonus miles you might be able to get a better return elsewhere.

Delta’s shopping portal is also administered by Cartera, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the SkyMiles shopping portal offering a similar promotion this time next week.
