Shopping portal bonuses are a great way to earn extra miles when shopping online. While you can earn miles at any time, these limited-time deals offer additional bonuses that can help you rack up lots of extra points and miles quickly.

United Airlines is the only airline offering a bonus right now, but we’re likely to see the others follow suit soon.

Here are the details you need to know about this new bonus for September 2024.

United Airlines Shopping Portal Bonus

The United MileagePlus Shopping portal is currently offering 500 bonus points through October 7, 2024.

The current offer includes:

We value United miles at 1.2 cents each, so this bonus is worth $6 in extra miles. United miles have a wide range of uses, and they can help you get nearly anywhere you want to go.

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.

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

Shopping portal bonuses offer an easy way to top off your balance with bonus points and 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.

Usually, shopping portals from Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines will offer similar or competing bonuses at the same time. So far, only United is offering a bonus. When will the others launch their offers this month? We’ll have to wait and see.
