The key terms of the offer are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn 300 bonus miles when you spend $150<\/li>\n<li>Earn 1,000 bonus miles when you spend $350<\/li>\n<li>You can only receive a bonus once<\/li>\n<li>Returning the merchandise will result in the miles being returned<\/li>\n<li>The amount spent must hit the threshold before taxes and shipping charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"United_MileagePlus_Shopping_Offer\">United MileagePlus Shopping Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/shopping.mileageplus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United MileagePlus Shopping Portal<\/a>\u00a0offer is similar to the Alaska offer but runs through April 14, 2017. Like Alaska the offer is tiered with the following earning options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn 300 bonus miles when you spend $150<\/li>\n<li>Earn 1,000 bonus miles when you spend $350<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The other terms and conditions are nearly identical, with returns resulting in the miles being clawed back, and the earning threshold excluding taxes and shipping charges.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you're looking to pick up some bonus miles, be sure to route your purchases through the airline Shopping Portal of your choice. As a bonus, by earning miles, you can reset the clock on your account and prevent your miles from expiring if you are close to your deadlines. If you have a lot of shopping to do and are a member of both programs, then you are best served by maximizing your earning from both programs since there are no additional bonuses for spending over the thresholds.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/onemileatatime.com\/earn-1000-united-miles-shopping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Mile at a Time<\/a> & <a href=\"http:\/\/frequentmiler.boardingarea.com\/2017\/04\/04\/alaska-shopping-portal-spring-promotion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frequent Miler<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Alaska_Mileage_Plan_Shopping_Offer\">Alaska Mileage Plan Shopping Offer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#United_MileagePlus_Shopping_Offer\">United MileagePlus Shopping Offer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alaska and United have launched a short-term promotion where you can earn up to 1,000 bonus miles in their respective programs through the Alaska MileagePlan Shopping Portal and United MileagePlus Shopping Portal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":13744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[12069],"tags":[13888,12772],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-13743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-deals","tag-united-mileageplus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13743"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87191,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13743\/revisions\/87191"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13743"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=13743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
