Our Verdict

They are also offering similar bonuses with other airlines:

• United Shopping Portal Bonus: Spend $150-$600 & Get 500-3,000 Miles
• American Airlines: up to 2,000 Bonus Miles with Online Shopping

Other bonuses are more generous that Southwest, but what offer you prefer will depend on how you value each currency and what their regular rates are like as well. As always, compare to see that you are getting a good deal by using the AAdvantage or United portal instead of another portal.
