In addition to paid travel and credit card sign-up bonuses, another great way to earn points is through shopping portals. For those of you who may not know, shopping portals give you additional points for buying products through them.

If you missed some of the shopping portal bonuses that expired last week, American is back with a promotion at their shopping portal.
One thing that is different about this promotion is that it is tied specifically to Macy’s in that you will earn the bonus miles only by shopping at Macy’s.
