Monday only: Earn up to 6 miles per dollar on Apple purchases, but not on new phones
25.09.2023 - 15:47 / thepointsguy.com / But Not
In the market for an Apple device? If so, now is a good time to buy the Apple products that have been sitting in your shopping cart. Several airlines are offering bonus miles for purchases made on Apple's website for a limited time (though do note, these bonuses do not apply to the new iPhone).
Here are the elevated earnings you'll receive on Apple purchases Monday when you click through these online shopping portals:
When you click through the shopping portal, you'll notice that different Apple products sometimes award different rates. During this promo, eligible iPad and Mac purchases get 6 miles per dollar spent.
Apple Vision Pro, Apple Pro Display XDR, gift wrap, Apple Developer Programs, AppleCare+ monthly subscriptions and orders purchased with government or veterans discounts are among the exclusions from earning shopping portal bonuses from this offer.
Additionally, each customer is eligible only to receive a bonus on up to five units per eligible product — except the iPhone, which is limited to only two units within 30 days.
You should always use a shopping portal aggregator to compare the top earning rates for various retailers before making a big purchase. How you value your miles will affect which offer is best for you overall. These aggregators won't always list bonuses based on spending thresholds.

For example, if you purchase a base-model 15-inch MacBook Air for $1,299 through the AAdvantage Shopping portal Monday, you'll earn 7,794 AAdvantage miles. Those miles are worth about $117, according to TPG's valuations. They could be worth even more if you can find the right flight to redeem them on.
Base miles earned through the American shopping portal count as Loyalty Points. So, the purchase would also bring you nearly 7,800 Loyalty Points closer to earning (or requalifying for) American elite status. In other words, this single purchase would earn roughly a fifth of the 40,000 Loyalty Points required for entry-level AAdvantage Gold status.
Surprisingly, the Apple Card isn't necessarily the best card for Apple purchases.
Although it offers a decent return, given the high cost of Apple's devices, you should focus on credit cards with purchase protection and extended warranty benefits instead. Benefits vary from card to card, but you may have success getting compensated if your product is damaged or destroyed during the coverage period. Several TPG staffers have successfully covered their Apple products through credit card protections.

I moved from Seattle to Peru. There's been crime and political violence, but the friends I've made here make it worth it.
When I tell Americans I live in Cusco, Peru, I often get a puzzled look. When I add that it's the Inca capital you fly to on your way to visit Machu Picchu, their eyes light up. It's beautiful, and I love living here, but it's far from perfect. There's been political instability and crime. But for me, Cusco has always proved worth the downsides.
