Tips & Ideas
If you spend exactly $150 or $300, you’re effectively earning 3.33x bonus miles per dollar. That’s not a bad bonus at retailers which normally only offer 1%/1x on portals. As always, check Cashback Monitor to compare rates in case other portals offer better earning rates even after accounting for these bonuses.
Although gift card purchases are excluded, that doesn’t seem to be the case when buying them from Raise or GiftCards.com seeing as they’re eligible stores on the portal.
