Earn 30 United Airlines Miles Per Dollar Spent Shopping Here
Recently I wrote a piece, “How to Save Big Money on This Year’s Mother’s Day Gift,” in which I described steps that would greatly reduce the overall price of items purchased through 1800Flowers.com.
The techniques I covered involved using a combination of Amex Offers and cash-back websites to maximize your savings.
However, some may prefer to combine savings along with the earning of miles/points. And for those who have this preference, here’s a deal for you.
United Airlines is currently offering 30 MileagePlus miles per dollar spent on purchases at 1800Flowers.com. Now that’s a pretty hefty earnings rate for something that’s not magazines!
And, you can still use the Amex Offers savings deal while earning the United miles. The beauty…you’ll earn United miles on the full purchase amount, but save $15 on your $50 or more total via a statement credit.
What’s Good?
Some may think 1800Flowers.com is nothing but plants, bouquets, and such. Think again. There are actually plenty of quality items aside from flowers that make great purchases, whether as a gift, or for yourself.
Here are a few to consider:
Sweet Tooth
A basket of assorted bakery items from Cheryl’s Cookies – $59.99
Gourmet Truffles from Fannie May – $29.95-$59.95
Popcorn Lover
Popcorn tins from The Popcorn Factory – $39.99-$59.99
Breads
English muffins from Wolferman’s – $49.99
Country Tea Bread Sampler from Wolferman’s – $26.99
Meats
Chateaubriand Tenderloin Roast from Stock Yards – $129.99
New York Strip Steak from Stock Yards – price depends on size and number ordered
These are just a few of the unique items that can be purchased via the 1800Flowers.com site. None of which you’ll notice are flowers.
And, all of these associated retailers will trigger the Amex Offer $15 credit, as well as earn you 30 United miles/dollar spent.
Just be sure to go through the United MileagePlus shopping portal first. Search for the 1800Flowers link and click through to make your purchase(s). Earning United miles could not be easier.
While the 30 miles/dollar offer is tied to Mother’s Day shopping, you don’t have to buy for Mom to earn big United miles. Grab yourself some steaks for the upcoming grilling season, or cookies just to have around, or some other unique food item as a special treat.
With such a varied listing of merchants, there’s surely something that will grab your fancy – and earn you a nice bit of United miles to boot.
