Our Verdict
This deal works out to be an additional 2.5x miles per $1 spent if you spend exactly $200. United are offering a similar deal, but theirs is 1,000 miles for $200 in spend. As always make sure you compare to other shopping portals like Topcashback by using cashbackmonitor to ensure you’re getting the best rates.
