We all shop online once in a while. Be it shoes, electronics or some other random article. For years we didn't get anything for our spending sprees - no more!!!
If you find yourself hovering over the "confirm order" or "order now" button on buy.com, barnesandnoble or any of the other online merchant websites you should stop and go HERE. Webflyer.com is a handy website that can tell you anything from how many miles you will receive for a flight, between which programs you can transfer points/miles AND how many miles/points per dollar spent you receive for online shopping at many, many online retailers.
Just find the retailer where you want to buy something in the menu, click on it, and determine where you get the most bang for your buck. You will have to go through the Mileage/Point Mall portal of your Airline or Hotel for this. Buy your item and receive points & miles for it as well. (Obviously you have to be a member of the hotel or airline first)
Beware though - if you want to use an online coupon or discount code-you might not receive the points/miles. Most of the time you have to pay the full price or hopefully sale price.
You have to weigh the pros and cons - do you want 20% off or get 1,2,3,4,5,6 miles/dollar. For us, the more expensive an object the more likely we go for the miles/points.
If it's cheap and you would only get 100 miles or so anyway - why not go HERE FIRST (Retailmenot.com) and find out if there are any free coupons/codes out there....
Enjoy your online shopping.
P.S.: Sorry ladies & gents - Zappos does not participate in this scheme, at least for now. :(
But, there's shoebuy.com, shoes.com and many more instead....however, they don't have the same easy-return policy as Zappos! :(
