Earning through shopping portals is a great way to rack up miles for purchases that you would already make. You just head to the site first and then click through for whatever merchant you want to shop at and then you complete your purchase through them as normal, and in about a few weeks, you’ll see the bonus American miles hit your account.

For this offer, here’s how it works:

Spend $125 and earn 250 bonus miles

Spend $300 and earn 1,000 bonus miles
