Then later it reads, "Shop at 5 different stores and get a 250% bonus.**"
If you only shopped at 1 store, it stands to reason that you will get the normal miles plus another 50%. If they meant that you'd get strictly just 50%, then it wouldn't be a promotion at all. You'd be getting half the normal miles, and that makes no sense.
They don't mean that you get 50% of the miles. I suspect they mean that you will get:
1) The miles promised depending on the retailer and
2) A bonus ranging from 50% to 250 of the
dollar value of your purchases.
If they intended to pay a 50% bonus on the miles earned then they would have spelled it out as "Shop at 1 store and get a 50% bonus on the base miles earned" instead of "Shop at 1 store and get a 50% bonus on your
purchase."
As far as I can tell a PURCHASE is the DOLLAR value of your transaction, NOT (as I used to earlier think) the base miles earned.
What makes folks interpret "your purchase" as meaning "base miles earned?"
