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. [Note: as of Aug 2023, the $2k limit is per order, not per purchase]
- 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. [Note: as of Aug 2023, the $2k limit is per order, not per purchase]
- In 2022, larger orders track more slowly, and you may need to wait a full month to see miles. Strong advice from the thread is to make multiple small purchases (say under $300) rather than large ones to avoid the dreaded "manual review"

That's not how that works. Some AA partners will get you 20% bonus LP (including eshopping). The vendor is irrelevant. You are not getting 20% extra miles. You are getting the normal number of miles and AA will tack on 20% LP (only LP, not miles)

Correct. How do I know which transaction/company/vendor will get the extra 20%? It says “Select Partners”.

Millionacres
It’s up to 6200 today for $149/yr but when clicking offer the price drops to $99 on the sign up page. Pretty good deal if you value AA miles at 1.5 cents!

Walmart is indeed very sneaky, you have to check carefully. For example, personal care items were earning 3x last week, and now they are specifically excluded in the T&Cs.

So, if say someone crosses the 100k mark in November, will their 6-month 30% bonus extend to May, or will it end on February 28? This is a very consequential question in terms of potential strategy...

When I click thru it says Motely Fool . I guess this service is from MF ? Can you get the MillionAcres and the Motely Fool stock advisor for 6200 each ?

Not familiar with what the T&C said, but the Millionacres 6,200 LPs posted (at the $99 + tax rate) after a couple of days. I did the Montley Fool one a few months ago.
