Now is a great time to earn extra points and miles with your online shopping. Thanks to a pair of new promotions, you can earn up to 5,500 bonus miles, cumulatively, from your upcoming purchases with multiple airlines.

Here are the details you need to know about these new shopping portal bonuses through August 4 and August 11, 2025.

You don’t need to spend all $550 on a single purchase to earn the maximum bonus. However, $550 is a relatively high spending threshold to earn $16 worth of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, according to our mileage valuations.

  • Spend $150 to earn 500 bonus miles.

Similarly to the United offer, you don’t need to spend all $500 on a single purchase to earn the full bonus. If you max out the promotion by spending $500, you’ll earn 2,000 points — worth about $26 in Southwest Rapid Rewards value.

How Shopping Portal Bonuses Work

To take advantage of these bonus points and miles, click through a retailer’s website on your shopping portal of choice before making an online purchase. No separate activation is required, and all you have to do is shop in the same browser window where you followed the link for the deal.

Your purchases will automatically be tracked, and you’ll earn bonus miles based on your spending during the promotional period.

Hot Tip:

Qualifying purchases do not include returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift cards, or other cash-equivalent purchases, and certain products are not eligible for bonus points. Any returned or canceled orders will be deducted from your total spend.

Final Thoughts

With back-to-school shopping in full swing, now is the ideal time to take advantage of these offers. This July and August, Southwest and United are offering bonus miles.

When it comes to shopping portals in general, all you need to do is click through a participating store on the portal before completing your purchase. Once you meet a minimum spending requirement, the bonus miles or points will be credited to your account automatically.

Bookmark this page, because once one airline launches an offer, others usually follow quickly.
