What’s better than shopping from home in your pjs? Shopping from home in your pjs AND earning points/miles at the same time!
If you haven’t tried shopping in an earn mall yet, the holiday shopping season is a great time to start. Earn malls are portals through which you access hundreds of online retailers, and then earn points or miles for your purchases. The number of points/miles you will earn for each dollar you spend will vary by program and by store.
How do earn malls work?
You can think of an earn mall as an online shopping center. You walk through the (virtual) door, and find hundreds of stores, all of which offer points or miles from your loyalty program for making a purchase. Here are the three steps you’ll need to take to make use of an earn mall:
- Sign-in to your loyalty program’s online mall.
- Choose a store from their list of retailers.
- Make a purchase.Your points/miles will be automatically added to you account within the number of day specified on the program site.
Several of our partner programs host earn malls; we’ve compiled a list below for you. Be sure to check with your favorite loyalty program to see if they have an earn mall before you start your shopping this season!
