Our Verdict
This offer seems cheap, total bonus of only 500 miles and it’s only an extra 2.5x miles per dollar spent. Certainly worse than previous promotions in the past. I’m hesitant to post promotions like this as I feel like crappy promotions don’t deserve coverage, but at the same time I think that’s a decision readers are more than capable of making themselves.
As always, make sure you compare shopping portals to ensure you’re getting a good deal!
