Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Through 8/24 via the AAdvantage eShopping portal:
- Earn 15 miles per dollar at The North Face
- Earn 24 miles per dollar at 4inkjets
- Earn 9 miles per dollar at Nike
Double Dip Data:
Via the Frequent Miler Laboratory:
- North Face double dip works (last reported in 2012).
- Nike double dip does not work
- No data for 4inkjets
A double-dip is where you go through a portal to buy a merchant gift card to get points, and then go through the portal a second time to use the gift card and get points again. The ability to earn points this way varies from merchant to merchant. Often it works for physical gift cards, but not e-gift cards.

I bought a NF GC through AA mall and have not yet received miles. it was about 10 days ago, usually they post faster
I’ve had AA mall take many weeks at times even though sometimes I see results in days.
Any report on double dips?
Yes, via email, a reader told me that her Northface double dip worked.
Anything to take advantage of here, other than for buying stuff you need from these merchants?
Not that I can think of. I think it would be tough to profit from a buy/sell approach with any of these.
