Shopping Portals Are The Key

Your key to acing Mother’s Day this year is unlocked through the wonderful world of shopping portals.

If shopping portals are new territory for you, check out How to Use Shopping Portals to Boost Your Millage Earnings to get the juicy details.

Basically, shopping portals are third-party sites that offer you an incentive for shopping at various retailers through their portal.

When you shop through their portal they receive a small commission on any purchase you make and give you points or miles as a reward (it’s a win-win).

Along with your top holidays, shopping portals offer a ton of great points-earning opportunities on Mother’s Day.

Although there are great deals all over the place, I have sifted through the offerings for you (cause ain’t nobody got time for that) and discovered that AAdvantage eShopping is your best bet for last minute Mother’s Day shopping this year.

So, check out these deals, pick the one that mom’s going to love, and take back that “Mom’s Favorite Child” trophy your brother stole last year – all while earning bonus miles for your next trip.

AAdvantage Mother’s Day Offers

Earn 250 bonus miles when you spend $150 cumulatively at these six retailers: JCPenney, ProFlowers, Aveda, Blue Nile, Kohl’s, and WSJwine.

Not only that, but each of these six retailers actually has their own bonus miles offer. That means you can earn the 250 bonus miles as well as the miles per dollar offer (now that’s some double-dipping).

Two promotional ads side by side: one for a red handbag from JCPenney with a Mother’s Day savings offer to help you earn points, and one for ProFlowers featuring a bouquet of colorful tulips and special travel-inspired discounts on flowers and gifts.

Beyond those six retailers, there are tons of other great offers that can land you some serious bonus miles (chocolate covered strawberries is a no-brainer).
