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?
Via Frequent Miler’s Portal Alerts, the American Airlines, Alaska, and Southwest mileage portals are offering enhanced bonuses for a number of merchants. It’s worth noting that Staples, which had recently disappeared from most mileage portals is now back and running a 4 mile per dollar promo through the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Shopping portal.
Enhanced rates are most likely for today only.
Update: Southwest offers are available through tomorrow (through 11:59pm ET on March 31, 2015).

Anyone know if Aadvantage portal pays out on Lowe’s gift card purchases? Looking to stack the 6x miles with the recent amex offer. TIA!
There have been mixed reports about this. It definitely used to work with physical gift cards, but I don’t know if it works anymore
is is possible to buy the VGC at Best Buy , then load to redbird or serve? how do you monetize Staples and Lowes GC bought through SW Air
Yes you could do that (buy VGC at Best Buy then use to load Redbird or Serve).
.
Staples/Lowes gift cards: I don’t know of any way to monetize them short of buying and selling merchandise
Staples and Lowes are both at 5% on Upromise, which means you get 10% cash back with the Upromise CC.
Yep., that’s a great way to get great rewards all the time.
