- Please see the AAdvantage eShopping mall site for details on product eligibility and other restrictions.
- Please allow up to 10 weeks after the Bonus Period for bonus miles to post to your AAdvantage eShopping account.
- The Tier 2 bonus provides the maximum number of miles that will be awarded.
Quick Thoughts
Both tiers on both shopping portals offer 3.33x bonus miles per dollar if spending exactly $150 or $300. That has the potential to be a good return, especially with retailers like Apple that don’t normally offer much more than 1x/1%.
As always though, be sure to compare rates on Cashback Monitor because even with the bonus miles, you might still do better shopping via a different portal.
