This week is bound to be a little slow after the Memorial Day frenzy, but there are still deals coming, keep your heads up:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Brex<\/a> has a 25% transfer bonus for Avianca LifeMiles running through July 2, 2021. The LifeMiles award chart has some sweet spots, and it\u2019s a currency that\u2019s been extremely hackable and currently still is mostly hackable. The current award chart has relatively decent prices to Europe at 63,000 miles for Business class or 87,000 miles in International First class, with lots of availability through Star Alliance partners.\u00a0AwardWallet<\/a>\u00a0has a nice tabular LifeMiles\u00a0Partner Award Chart<\/a>, and\u00a0region definition<\/a> to help you strategize. <\/p>\n

Hint:<\/em> A lot of the value in LifeMiles comes from their definition of a region.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> AA has a portal shopping bonus of 1,000 miles for<\/a> installing their browser extension toolbar and spending $25 at a supported merchant between now and Friday. I\u2019d do this in a separate browser and disable the extension instead of uninstalling it so they don\u2019t get notification that it was removed. (Alternatively, you can disconnect from the internet and uninstall for the same effect.)<\/p>\n

If you have normal shopping, do that. Otherwise, I\u2019d just buy an ebay $25 gift card at GiftCards.com<\/a> and sell at 90%, which will earn you 1,000 AA miles for a cost of $2.50. At that rate I\u2019d buy a million AA miles, seriously.<\/p>\n
