Travel Tip Tuesday: Shopping Portals for Travel Purchases

Recently, while booking a hotel, I noticed the best price for the hotel I was looking at was both on Orbitz and Travelocity.

Both Orbitz and Travelocity have bonus miles for booking through my credit card shopping portal.  Orbitz earns 1 bonus point per dollar with the portal while Travelocity earns 2 bonus points per dollar with the portal.

By spending a few more seconds checking, I got 3 points per dollar instead of only 2 (or one if I'd not shopped through the portal at all).

Hotels.com on my shopping portal would have awarded me 4 points per dollar, but the price wasn't competitive for the same hotel.

It's always good to make sure you maximize your mileage opportunities.  =)
