For example, if you make a $430 purchase at Barney’s New York, you’ll get 6,450 AAdvantage miles in return. Based on TPG’s most recent valuations, those miles are worth about $97 — not a bad return for a purchase you were already planning on making!Keep in mind there are some portal-specific rules you should follow to ensure you get all of your bonus AAdvantage miles. For example, make sure you make your purchases directly from the link off the AAdvantage Shopping portal website. If you’re looking to take advantage of these elevations, act quick, as they end tonight at 11:59pm ET.
