As of this week, we’ve launched our newest feature that will boost your miles count: Shop & Earn.

Get ready to get more bang for your buck because when you make a purchase using the Miles app, you can earn back thousands of miles to use on gift cards, donate to charity, and enter raffles.

Here’s How It Works

Open the Miles app and go to either the home page to click on the “Shop & Earn” icon. You’ll see a page explaining the three steps required to earn your miles. Click on the “Start earning” button at the bottom to see your choices and swipe up to explore the limited-time rewards.

We’re constantly updating the offers, so be sure to keep checking to discover a brand or product that resonates with you.

1. Activate

As you scroll through the rewards in Shop & Earn, you’ll notice that each one offers varying amounts of miles in return. Depending on the offer itself, you can earn anywhere from 30,000 miles to more than 200,000 miles!

Click on the green button to activate the offer and proceed with your shopping.

2. Shop

Once you activate your favorite offer, you’ll be taken to the company’s website where you can continue to shop.

No time to shop? Unsure if it’s a reward you want to redeem? That’s ok! When you are ready, come back to the app to access the website and proceed.

Make sure to fully complete the purchase to enjoy your savings. However, this is only the halfway point on your journey to accruing more miles…

3. Earn

Here’s where the fun begins. After your purchase, you will receive an email from the brand’s website confirming your order. Please note that receiving this email doesn’t mean your purchase has been verified, yet.

Once it is, however, we’re ready to give you your well-deserved miles! You will receive a push notification alerting you of your new mile balance — congratulations!

Winc — Earn 200,000 miles

The holidays are upon us and celebrations are happening! Wine is a popular choice of drink for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, and many other celebrations.

Don’t go broke and buy bottle after bottle of wine for your social gatherings, especially during these times! Instead, check out what Winc has to offer.

With a vast selection of organic, vegan, white, red, sparkling, rosé, and others, you’ll be sure to find the perfect selection for your moments of merriment.

Simply take a 6-question quiz and take your pick of 4 bottles of wine for only $29.95, free shipping, and earn 200,000 miles!

Athena Club — Earn 25,000 miles

Here’s one for our beauty fans. For great skin, we have an offer on-hand that will help you save some cash and leave you silky-smooth.

We’re talking about Athena Club, and they’re all about smoothness. Smooth blades for smooth skin for smooth moves during those social gatherings.

Activate and shop for the $5 (normally $9) razor kit that includes two five-blade cartridges, one ergonomic razor handle, and one magnetic hook for easy storage.

Do this, and get back a nice 25,000 miles.

Byte — Earn 200,000 miles

What do perfectly straight teeth have to do with confidence? Everything! As the new year approaches, make some goals to revamp your look with Byte, an invisible teeth aligner company that helps you avoid the dentist’s office at all costs.

Yes, other teeth aligner companies sound similar, but Byte delivers fast results in about four months (not 12–18), costs about $1,999 (not $5,000+), and takes place at home with virtual check-ins (not in-person doctor appointments).

To start, order an impression kit with trays and putty, take an impression of your teeth at home and send it back for analysis. Then, buy your aligners and follow your customized plan!

So, instead of paying $95 for that first impression kit, pay only $14.95 and earn a hefty 200,000 miles while you’re at it!

Sam’s Club — Earn 75,000 miles

Last, but definitely not least, we have Sam’s Club.

Most savvy shoppers know that the unparalleled savings at Sam’s Club are worth the yearly $50 membership fee. And yet, to help you save more for the holidays, they’re willing to slash 50% of that, too!

Join the club to start decking the halls and fa-la-la-ing your way to more money with a $25 membership price tag and a delightful 75,000 miles back!

This Is Only The Beginning…

Wonderful, you now know the ins and outs of Shop & Earn! It’s wise to come back and discover more goodies to keep that piggy bank healthy and for more chances to earn back tons of miles.
