Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Valid through: ?
The US Airways Dividend Miles Storefront is currently offering 12 miles per dollar for purchases made at Neiman Marcus after clicking through the portal.
From the recent 18X American Airlines deal, several readers have reported that purchases of gift cards do receive points. No word yet as to whether purchases made with gift cards receive points (my guess is that they do, but shop with gift cards at your own risk). BigHabitat reports that both the purchase of e-gift cards and the use of gift cards posted via the AA mall, so a double dip should work here too.

I just saw the 18x AA points for merchandise purchased at NM with gift cards post in addition to the 18x for the gift cards. So it looks like I’ll get 37x total points on my resale item at a cost of about 0.56 per point if all goes well (no returns). Nordstrom’s is now 12x at the AA mall, same item could be resold, but less lucrative (0.83 cents if double dip works, 1.61 cents if it doesn’t).
Thanks for the update! Did you buy physical or e-gift cards at NM?
e-gift cards.
Thanks! I’ve updated the post to specify e-gift cards.
Someone just commented in the Frequent Miler Laboratory that her points for buying NM gift cards have been subtracted out of her account (after having previously posted). Did that happen to you too?
