AAdvantage + Amex + Saks
I recently noticed this. It is interesting how the points can stack. An example:
- The above mentioned bonus.
- Saks is 8x at the AAdvantage portal as I write this, but I see it has fluctuated between 5x and 14x in the last couple of weeks. (Anyone have any insights into how/why this seems to change daily?)
- Amex has a Sync offer for 6K MR points with a $400 spend.
- Saks has a current $75 off offer for a $350 purchase.
So a $475 purchase would cost $400 and trigger:
500 AAdvantage miles due to the bonus.
3200 AAdvantage miles due to the multiplier.
6000 Amex MR reward points.
-----------------------------------------------------
9700 points/miles. At $.02/point, that is a $194 bonus for $400 spend.
A $575 purchase would cost $500 and trigger:
1250 AAdvantage miles due to the bonus.
4000 AAdvantage miles due to the multiplier.
6000 Amex MR reward points.
-----------------------------------------------------
11250 points/miles. At $.02/point, that is a $225 bonus for $500 spend.
A $1075 purchase would cost $1000 and trigger:
3500 AAdvantage miles due to the bonus.
8000 AAdvantage miles due to the multiplier.
6000 Amex MR reward points.
-----------------------------------------------------
17500 points/miles. At $.02/point, that is a $350 bonus for $1000 spend.
All that arithmetic done - I'm not personally a fan of online clothing or shoe shopping. But this may be of interest to others.
