Guru’s Wrap-up
Airline shopping portals are useful because they let you earn frequent flyer miles or points on everyday purchases without flying and without spending anything extra. With the Alaska and United portals you can also earn miles when shopping in-store.
When you start your shopping trip through a portal, the airline tracks your purchase with the retailer and rewards you with bonus miles as outlined above. For in-store offers you just have to use a linked card.
These miles can stack with rewards from your credit card, helping you accumulate points faster for future flights, upgrades, or travel perks.
