That means you can triple-dip on rewards with your online purchases.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect more airlines to launch shopping portals in the next few days.

That's 2.5x bonus rewards on top of your usual credit card rewards.<\/p>\n<p>But before you make a purchase, we recommend checking sites like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cashbackmonitor.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cashback Monitor<\/a> to compare portal bonuses to ensure you get the best earning rate on your purchase. Perhaps you're better off <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/shopping\/rakuten-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">earning Amex or Bilt Points through Rakuten<\/a> and then transferring those points to travel partners. Furthermore, be sure to use a credit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/best-credit-cards-online-shopping\/\" rel=\"noopener\">card optimized for online shopping<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/best-everyday-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">everyday purchases<\/a> to further juice your rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to earn more bonus miles?
