8x Alaska Miles Per Dollar Spent At Nordstrom

There's nothing that influences my purchase decisions quite as much as miles. Sometimes they shouldn't, but it just feels better to buy stuff when there are miles at stake.

As I've written about in the past, online shopping portals are a great way to maximize miles & points, and they're especially practical since I do just about all my shopping online anyway. I should clarify that when I say "all my shopping," I mean once per year or when my mom tells me my wardrobe is no longer acceptable -- whichever comes first.

The Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Shopping Portal is presently offering eight miles per dollar spent at Nordstrom. I believe the promotion is valid through the end of next week, so through September 7, 2014.

Business Class Award Availability for the Whole Family to Australia!

Back in June I wrote about finding at least four business class seats non-stop between the US and Australia almost every day. That was using Delta miles on its partner Virgin Australia.
