The Fine Print

This is the fine print for United, but Southwest seems similar.

• During the “Holiday Bonus” offer, which runs from 11/2/20 through 11/22/20 at 11:59:59 pm ET (the “Bonus Period”), Member will earn a one-time bonus of up to 5,000 MileagePlus® bonus award miles on qualifying purchases made through the MileagePlus® Shopping mall or from purchases made through MileagePlus® Shopping in-store offers. 
• This one-time bonus award will be based on Member’s cumulative qualifying purchases made during the Bonus Period using one of the following tiers: Tier 1 bonus: 500 miles for qualifying purchases of at least $100; Tier 2 bonus: 2,500 miles for qualifying purchases of at least $500; or Tier 3 bonus: 5,000 miles for qualifying purchases of $1,000 or more.
• “Qualifying purchases” do not include returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift card or other cash equivalent purchases, and certain products that are not eligible for bonus miles. 
• Please see the MileagePlus® Shopping mall site for details on product eligibility and other restrictions.
• Please allow up to 10 weeks after the Bonus Period for bonus award miles to post to your MileagePlus® Shopping account. The Tier 3 bonus provides the maximum number of miles that will be awarded. Void where prohibited by law.

Our Verdict

Bigger bonuses than normal, but also requires more spend as well.
