Quick Thoughts
These aren’t the greatest shopping portal promos ever, but they’re a nice little bonus if you were planning on shopping via one or more of these portals either way.
With the American Airlines portal, be aware that although you’ll earn Loyalty Points on the base spend, you won’t earn 500 Loyalty Points on the bonus too.
With regards to the Alaska and United portals, in addition to online spending you can also meet some or all of the $150 spending requirements on purchases in-store at eligible retailers when paying with a linked card. Here are links to the in-store retailers for Alaska Airlines and United.
