I have a purchase to make of about $5000 at Potterybarn. I was wondering what would be a good way to maximize the miles earned on this purchase. It participates in the Upromise program and only AAdvantage program as far as I know. I was thinking of a few options.
Buy gift certificates from Gift certificates.com in the value of 5000 and then turn around and make a purchase on PB.com to get miles. Also could use Upromise and get cash back upto 3% on both purchases. Also could use a Miles earning credit card to get miles from the credit card. What are ;your thoughts. What would be a good way to do this. Also is it a good idea to use Gift certificates as the intermediary to earn more miles. Is it just better to buy directly from Potterybarn.com with my own CC. Thanks.
