It is that time of year where summer vacation is half over and thoughts turn towards getting ready for the new school year. Timmy doesn’t start school until the end of August, but some families start in just a week or two. We all need to do some back-to-school shopping. Timmy’s 1st-grade list includes 17 very specific items that we need to shop for. Luckily, we know how to earn rewards with back to school shopping bonus opportunities to maximize the airline miles we’ll earn to get us that much closer to the next vacation!
Using Airline Portals For Shopping Bonuses
I highly encourage you to use shopping portals to earn miles, points, or cash back for any online shopping you do. However, during back-to-school shopping and holiday shopping, it is even more important to do so because of the extra bonuses that you can earn.
Keep in mind that these bonus miles and points are in addition to the points you normally earn using the shopping portals and any rewards you will earn from your credit card.
