It seems like online shopping portals are constantly offering bonus miles for doing something as simple as clicking through their site before dining out our online shopping.

Since you’re going to buy whatever it is that you need, you might as well earn some miles, points or cash back.

Here is a new offer that I received an e-mail about this morning from the American Airlines AAdvantage eShopping portal.

With this October offer you can “Earn A Pile of Miles”.

This sounds really good to me but is that pile really so big? If you complete the full required you will earn 2,000 Miles on top of the miles you’d usually earn. Definitely not bad.

Here is the offer:

• Spend $100, get 500 bonus miles (5X miles per $)
• Spend $300, get 1,0000 bonus miles (3.333 miles per $)
• Spend $500, get 2,000 bonus miles (4 miles per $)

It’s too bad that with this offer, AAdvantage eShopping didn’t simplify things and just offer 500 bonus miles for every $100 spent and maybe add a cap amount which you could earn.

(I mention this idea because the best offer is actually for the lowest tier bonus.)

The offer runs from now until October 16, 2014 at 11:59 PM EST.

Bonus should post in 8-10 weeks.

Before deciding if you’d like to shop through the AAdvantage eShopping portal make sure to look into your other options by searching Evreward.

Another option (and one I use most of the time) would also be earning cash back through TopCashBack. (If you don’t already have a TopCashBack account and sign up through my link I will earn a $10 referral bonus.)
