Two big airline shopping portal bonuses going on right now. While I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to spend money based on these offers, they can be a nice bonus

American Airlines Back To School 2023 Portal Bonus

American is offering a tiered system through 8/13/2023, to take advantage of their promotion:

  1. Spend $200, earn 500 bonus miles (2.5x miles)
  2. Spend $400, earn 1,000 bonus miles (2.5x miles)
  3. Spend $700, earn 2,000 bonus miles (2.86x miles)

Spend is cumulative, but you only get points for the highest dollar value you spend.  Combine these offers with a good mileage multiplier on some retailers, and you’ll get a great return on your spend!  Stop by the American Airlines shopping portal to spend some money.

Alaska Airlines Back To School 2023 Portal Bonus

Southwest is offering a tiered system through 8/14/2023, to take advantage of their promotion:

  1. Spend $150, earn 300 bonus miles (2x miles)
  2. Spend $300, earn 600 bonus miles (2x miles)
  3. Spend $600, earn 1,200 bonus miles (2x miles)

Alaska’s offer isn’t great as all spending thresholds have just 2X miles as a bonus. Still it could make sense if you’re trying to score Alaska miles. Stop by the Alaska shopping portal to spend some money.

Southwest Airlines Back To School 2023 Portal Bonus

Southwest is offering a tiered system through 8/14/2023, to take advantage of their promotion:

  1. Spend $125, earn 250 bonus miles (2x miles)
  2. Spend $300, earn 1,000 bonus miles (3.33x miles)
  3. Spend $500, earn 2,000 bonus miles (4x miles)

Spend is cumulative, but you only get points for the highest dollar value you spend.  Combine these offers with a good mileage multiplier on some retailers, and you’ll get a great return on your spend!  Stop by the Southwest shopping portal to spend some money.
