TODAY ONLY: 15 Miles Per Dollar At 15 Stores From United Mileage Plus

0 Comments

I’m liking these 15X “flash sale” mileage offers.  Mommy Points reports on the list of merchants who are offering 15 miles per dollar.  It’s a pretty mainstream list, a lot of folks should have opportunities to take advantage of this for normal purchases:

 

  • eBags
  • Old Navy
  • Banana Republic
  • Groupon
  • Neiman Marcus
  • Nike
  • Shoebuy
  • Coach
  • Under Armour
  • Sunglass Hut
  • Rosetta Stone
  • H&R Block
  • Sleepy’s
  • Saks OFF Fifth
  • Lord & Taylor
Let’s Think About The Math For A Minute

Everyone has different values for their miles.  Some people don’t even really think how much their worth.  It seems like not a day goes by where I don’t tell someone miles are currency.  Just like dollars, pesos, Euro.  For easy math, let’s just say a United MileagePlus mile is worth 2 cents.  Some might argue it’s a bit lower, but let’s use a round number.

That means for every dollar you normally spend at one of these merchants (if they offered 1 mile per dollar), you get a 2 cent “rebate”.  Now, do the math on 15 miles per dollar.  If you can use the miles for award tickets, you’re getting a ridiculous 30% rebate on your spending.  Even if you only thought United Miles were worth a penny a piece, that’s still a 15% rebate on your spending.

Folks who don’t travel for a living need to leverage opportunities like this.  Especially if you’re trying to fly a family of 3 or 4 to Europe for a summer vacation, bonus opportunities are where you can stack up miles in big chunks.

Most of these merchants pay 2, 3 or 4 miles per dollar on a “normal” day through the shopping portals.  Getting 5 or 6 times as many miles is a rare treat.

If you’ve got some shopping at these merchants, today is the day to do it.
