Do you want to travel more but money is holding you back?  Start earning more frequent flier miles with your favorite airlines so that you can start using miles to book your flights!  That’s right!  There are 6 major airlines that offer you BONUS miles for shopping at various stores that you already shop at in addition to the miles you earn from your credit card.

Why do I care so much about getting miles?  In 2021 and 2022 I was able to book 3 international round trip flights on Delta with miles (in addition to a few domestic flights).  I enjoyed a month in Italy in both September 2021 and 2022 with miles along with a trip to France in 2022.  I was able to spend my money on accommodations and experiences instead.

P.S  You can also earn bonus miles for these airlines with DINING

Don’t leave miles on the table.  If you’re getting ready to do some shopping, especially around a holiday, make sure you either go through the shopping program site of your favorite airline, or get the Google Chrome extension added to your computer.  If you're already shopping, there’s no reason to NOT get extra miles.  Trust me…they add up!!!

About the Author

Hi! My name is Terry and I'm a former elementary school teacher. After 13 years in the classroom, I decided to take my side hustle of creating educational resources full-time.

Now, I work remotely and have the time and flexibility to do what I've always wanted to do more of: TRAVELING. I've created an online space where I can share my adventures along with tips for anyone who has had the desire to seek adventure, but may have things holding them back. Whether it's financial reasons, or you simply don't have anyone to go with - I'm here to help you get inspired to just go for it and book the trip!
