We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Get up to 2,000 United Airlines Miles and 1,000 Delta Miles Shopping Online

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook or Twitter!

    Via Michael W Travels, you can earn as many as 2,000 United Airlines miles through their MileagePlus Shopping portal promotion and up to 1,000 Delta Airlines miles with their SkyMiles Shopping portal sale.

    With both deals, your purchases must be made by August 31, 2014.

    You Can Collect up to 2,000 Bonus Miles With United Airlines When Shopping at Their Online Mall

    I’ll tell you about the details of these back-to-school shopping promotions!

    United Airlines: Earn 500 to 2,000 Miles

    Link:   MileagePlus Back-to-School Shopping Promo

    You earn 500 United Airlines miles for every $125 you spend at stores in the MileagePlus online mall, up to a maximum of 2,000 miles for spending $500.

    So if you spend

    This is in addition to the number of United Airlines miles you usually get for shopping.

    For example, shopping at Macy’s through United Airline’s MileagePlus portal currently gives you 4 United Airlines miles per $1.

    So if you spent $500 at Macy’s, you’d earn 2,000 United Airlines miles (4 United Airlines miles X $500 spent at Macy’s) plus another 2,000 United Airlines miles for spending $500 with this promotion.

    That’s a total of 4,000 United Airlines miles for spending $500.

    But you don’t have to spend the $500 in 1 store.  You could split the $500 between Macy’s, Toys R Us, the Apple Store, 1-800-Contacts, etc.

    This back-to-school deal runs through August 31, 2014.

    Delta Airlines: Earn 250 to 1,000 Miles

    Link:   SkyMiles Back-to-School Shopping promo

    With Delta’s back-to-school sale, you earn 250 bonus miles for every $150 you spend at their SkyMiles Shopping portal, up to 1,000 Delta Airlines miles for spending $600.

    So when you spend

    Again, this is in addition to the miles you usually get for shopping.

    For example, at Delta’s SkyMiles Shopping mall, you currently get 6 Delta Airlines mile per $1 spent at Petco.

    So if you spent $600 on pet supplies you’d get 3,600 Delta Airlines miles (6 Delta Airlines miles X $600 spent at Petco) plus another 1,000 Delta Airlines miles for spending $600 during this promotion.

    That’s a total of 4,600 Delta Airlines miles for spending $600.

    You Can Add 1,000 Bonus Delta Airlines Miles When You Shop During Their Back-to-School Promotion

    Just like with United Airline’s promotion, you don’t have to spend the $600 in 1 store.  You can spread it out at various retailers such as Neiman Marcus, JCPenney, HP, etc.

    Delta’s back-to-school sale also ends on August 31, 2014.

    What You Should Know About Both Deals

    For both the United Airlines and Delta Airlines promotions, shipping costs, taxes, and returned items do NOT count.  And FTD.com is not a part of Delta’s deal.

    It could take 8 to 10 weeks for the miles to be credited to your account.

    Also check evreward.com to be sure you’re getting the best deal at each store.

    I would NOT go shopping online with this deal just to get the bonus miles.  But if you’d be spending money at these stores anyway, either now or in the near future, it could be a good deal for you!

    I can’t be the only 1 who goes Christmas shopping in July! 😉

    Bottom Line

    You can get as many as 2,000 United Airlines miles and 1,000 Delta Airlines miles as a bonus through their back-to-school shopping sales.  The deals end August 31, 2014.
