Conclusion
This bonus adds 250 additional miles for every 2 purchases in addition to the normal payout you will receive from the portal. The strategy here is to use the AA portal for all of your small purchases or break purchases into smaller orders so long as there’s no extra shipping fees, you should come out ahead. Also, don’t forget to stack purchases using sites like SimplyMiles and card linked apps like Dosh. I’d still check a comparison site like Cashback Monitor to make sure you are getting the best return.
You really want to earn more AA points this time or waiting for AA shutdown calm down?
I love AA miles but I have no chance of getting shut down, if you do I’d use a different portal
So what about shopping at Giftcards.com, which is on aa portal?
If you look at the terms, gift cards seem to be excluded from qualifying purchases
