Quick Thoughts

Always take bonuses like these into consideration when comparing portal payouts from one portal to another. These bonuses work out to a little better than 3 miles per dollar spent if you’re able to hit the nail on the head for the purchase requirements, which isn’t enough to get me to make a purchase just for the bonus but certainly might make these portals more attractive when comparing for an impending purchase.
