Quick Thoughts
The Alaska Airlines shopping portal is currently offering 500 bonus miles when spending $200. While the miles-per-dollar ratio isn’t as good as this United deal, Alaska Airlines miles are generally far more valuable than United’s. If you’ll be spending $200 today, it might therefore be worth focusing on the Alaska portal bonus first as that ends tonight. This United bonus will be around through July 4, so that gives you much more time to max it out if you want to.
Something that’s useful is that the United portal (and the Alaska portal for that matter) have an in-store card-linked program. That means you can earn bonus miles when spending in-store at eligible retailers, not only online.
