if you buy gift card does it work?
Some of the dates coincide with different states' tax free weekend.
Yeah this is how the big 4 airlines when Jet Blue buying the free Spirit.
Let’s see how soon they’ll devalue their miles

Would be nice to see what the bonus points are approximately worth, no idea if 250 WN is better than 500 AA.
Frequent Miler's Reasonable Redemption Values method might be helpful here. https://frequentmiler.com/reasonable-redemption-values-rrvs/
The Points Guy also maintains a similar list, but many (myself included) find those values to be a little more inflated/aspirational.
In my opinion, when deciding which to go with between two programs, these smaller portal bonuses are best for keeping miles from expiring or for topping up once you're getting close to an award threshold.
Thanks!
DoC, can we get the launch dates in advance for shopping bonus deals, I shopped this weekend already. I could have got bonus airline miles if I knew about this.
No, they get given to us under embargo.
Any good Visa/MC deal you can do with this if you're chasing AA status?
Check Citi Merchant Offers and SimplyMiles.
Both links go to southwest.
Fixed, thanks
Hmmm. Your fixed link didn't go the UA Back to School bonus for me, but this one did: https://shopping.mileageplus.com/p/extra-rewards.htm
United link points to the Southwest link, should be https://shopping.mileageplus.com/p/extra-rewards.htm
