On today's blog post, I will show you how to accumulate significant rewards miles just by doing things we all do every single day. Shopping and Dining. The points awarded for shopping and dining have the largest payout through the airline companies that you have previously registered for. Unfortunately, this step does require that you signup for additional programs with American and Delta but I will walk you through those steps below.
Click on the links provided below and register for Skymiles Shopping (Delta) and AAdvantage eShopping (American Airlines). Be sure to add both of these pages to your favorites list as they will be critical to earning your next vacation! The shopping portals are a collection of retailers that offer a set amount of miles to be earned for every dollar spent. The portals include hundreds of popular retailers so login and spend some time browsing through the retailers. By utilizing the sort functionality of the portals, you can review which retailers are offering the largest mileage payout per dollar spent. While signing up for the shopping portals it is absolutely critical that you link them to your corresponding rewards program numbers.

Now it's time to signup for the dining rewards. Unfortunately, you can only sign up for one airline at a time so pick either American or Delta and register all credit and debit cards that you currently use. If you already have miles with either airline, I would recommend using that one so you can grow your balance quicker. This can include cards from your significant other and or family members. You can search for participating restaurants by area. Be sure to check for places close to your home, work and other travel destinations.

This is so neat! I've registered on all the sites you mentioned. Thank you for posting all this information, I never knew you could get miles for flying by dining out and shopping (which I do a lot of)! Thanks again for the information.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I never realized the opportunity available to get flyer miles when dining out. I want to take a trip to California this summer so I better signup soon with a hard holder soon to accumulate miles/points to use on my vacation.
