Notes about Giftcards.com:
- A separate thread exists for discussing Giftcards.com and likely has more data points than this generic thread.
- Purchases from giftcards.com earn miles on the first $2,000 spent in the named calendar month, meaning for example between March 1st and March 31st.
- Giftcards.com has had various limits over the years, and it was always by calendar month.
- Some data points show the $2,000 monthly limit is not always enforced.
- In 2022, larger orders track more slowly, and you may need to wait a full month to see miles.

sorry if I asked this before -- but do we have any data points of getting these same shopping portal bonuses twice? Barrons, WSJ terms seems to indicate its one per loyalty account but many of the wine clubs do not seem to have that provision (haven't looked at each one). I would be willinging to repeat what I did last March and just rip through the options that are at least cost neutral and then pray for GC.com to come back

Any datapoints on the Verizon 10,900 bonus? Is that for just 1 line or is it per line? Might just sign up for 3 lines if it's for 3 lines and cancel, 32.7 LPs for not much work seems nifty (if that's how it stacks)

AA is a bank that also runs an airline... just like banks don't want you to go to the branch ever.

I did this a while back and I was awarded per line, up to the 3 (out of the 4 I set up). I do remember the T and C specifying a minimum time you had to hold the contract before you could cancel; worth checking that out. This was a bit ago so it’s possible things have changed.
wondering if I actually have to have phones for this or could just buy 3 lines, pay then cancel per the T/C’s

Yes wrangling 3 old cheap android phones from eBay is likely the path
Need to do the math to make sure this is not a stupid idea still lol

You can get appropriate phones on Craigslist in most major metros for $20 a pop. So still should pencil out math wise, especially if you wait until you’ve got the 30% bonus.
