Miles from Ebay
 

My very first post on FT. Please, I plan to do a lot of shopping on ebay (USA store) this week and wondering what partner airlines offer miles for ebay shopping.

I know Virgin Atlantic, BA & BMI give miles but it appears it's restricted to UK ebay store (ebay.co.uk).

Any ideas please. I need to maximise all the value from my shopping from ebay.com (USA) this week.

Many thanks in advance

There is no country restriction, just use the appropriate link (for the FF program) to enter Ebay. If you search for items internationally, all Ebay sites are linked anyway.
Another program you can earn points for Ebay purchases is Marriott.

Also Priority Club.

choicehotels program - 4 points per 1 usd, aeroplan - 1 mile/1cad, amtrak-1mile/1usd. You can add item to watch list and after pay through ebay.co.uk(bmi, virgin), ebay.ca(aeroplan).

If you have an Amex MR card you can earn 3 or 4 points per $ via the bonuspointsmall.com site.

this 10 days aeroplan mall have promo 5 miles/1 cad on ebay.

You could join MyPoints and get 2 points per dollar spent on ebay. You can redeem 10,000 pts for 5000 UA miles or 5100 pts for 2500 miles so it is basically 1 UA mile per dollar spent.

Thanks, this helped me too!

OP didn't specify what FFP was he/she interested in, but it seems of the Legacy airlines THE ONLY ONE to offer any chance for miles from eBay purchases is UA via MyPoints @ 2-4 MyPoints/US$ (depending on the month of purchase) to accumulate for 2500 Millage+ Miles (5100 MyPoints) or 5000 Millage+ Miles (10000 MyPoints) at a time w/o $ or time limits (MyPoints doesn't expire as well).

The reason UA is offering Miles is that they used to own MyPoints until they sold 'em to United Online (no relation to UA) several years ago....

If you go this way you can answer the Surveys provided (10 MyPoints if you don't qualify, 50-200 MyPoints if you do) and use the grocery savings coupons provided (by coupons.com and Smart Source, 10 MyPoints/coupons.com coupon redemption, 25 Bonus MyPoints for the 1st 10 coupons you print/month) to reduce the time needed to get enough MyPoints for an award.

So far it seems neither AA nor DL have ways to use eBay purchases to get Miles into their FFP's ...
