Online shopping portals can be a great way to pick up additional miles & points for purchases you’d make anyway. Just for following a specific link you can earn bonus points or cash back in addition to the rewards you’d earn for credit card spending.
Whenever I make an online purchase I always check to see which shopping portal has the best bonus.
Rakuten’s Singles’ Day Promo — 11% Cash Back
Rakuten, which is one of the largest online shopping portals (and my all around favorite) has an amazing flash sale today. You can earn 11% cash back with 250+ retailers. These retailers ordinarily offer significantly less return than that, sometimes as little as 1%.
There are all kinds of retailers on this list, ranging from IHG hotels (meaning you can earn 11% cash back on hotel bookings), to clothing scores, to department stores, and more.
Earn 11x Amex Points Instead
11x cash back is awesome, but what’s even better is earning 11x Amex points. Nowadays you can choose to earn Amex points instead of cash back with Rakuten, at the rate of one cent per point.
Personally I value Membership Rewards points at 1.7 cents each. So to me, earning 11x Amex points is the equivalent of nearly 19% back, which is incredible.
The ability to earn Amex points with Rakuten is a game changer for me when it comes to online shopping portals.
See this post for everything you need to know about earning Amex points with Rakuten.

Bottom Line
You can earn 11x Amex points for purchases with all kinds of retailers today, which is a fantastic deal. Whether you’re looking to book an IHG stay or make a purchase with Saks, there are tons of opportunities to earn bonus points today.
