Quick Thoughts
If you spend exactly $50, you’ll be earning 5 bonus SkyMiles per dollar which is a pretty decent return. Having said that, I’ve found that the Delta shopping portal tends to have some pretty terrible rates compared to other shopping portals, so be sure to check Cashback Monitor to ensure you get the best return.
Note that the terms state that you have to not only install the button but use it too in order to earn the 250 bonus miles.

That ‘button’ only works on Chrome which is positively the worst for privacy. It’s built around tracking every move you make and every interaction you have online. Full cross-site tracking built in at the core. There’s a reason why these things don’t work on Safari as that is a much safer and more private browser. Just FYI.
[…] Hat tip to Frequent Miler […]
I have had very little success getting Alaska shopping portal transactions to track successfully, so buyer beware.
In the past, buttons like these have not been available for Iphones. At a glance it looks like more of the same. Worth a try though.
