Back in 2019, American Airlines launched SimplyMiles, which is an opportunity to earn bonus miles with select retailers when using a Mastercard. I didn’t write about SimplyMiles all that much at first, since frankly the program wasn’t that compelling.

The big question is will the base 40 miles earned from CI could as Loyalty Points since the terms and conditions said it would take up to five weeks to post putting us in January.
Lucky, I think it goes without saying that we’ll all be leaning on you next year to help point out the opportunities for easy SimplyMiles. The first thing that stands out to me are the promotions for IHG hotels that can be used on stays purchased with an IHG Mastercard.
So by registering your credit card, you signed away your purchasing history and consent to constant monitoring by a whole list of companies that you no longer have control over.
And strange how the only people tipped off to this “sale of the decade “ were bloggers who write about miles, then were rewarded with millions of miles/points and only now decide to promote the product after this limited time available offer has expired??? Well Lucky, good for you and all the other insiders who were “selected” for this offer. But why not call out what is really happening when people click the permission box, who is getting this information and how is it being sold/traded..?
@ D4Queen -- Conspiracy theory much?
-- I've never been in communication with anyone from SimplyMiles; I learned about the offer on Frequent Miler, and tipped the hat accordingly
-- I wrote about the offer while it was live
-- SimplyMiles is facilitated by Mastercard, and I'm pretty sure Mastercard already has access to your transaction history
I registerd. Activated an offer from Best Buy. Made the purchase. And a day later I looked and the offer wasn't in activated and was nowhere to be found. I sent an email and received a typical "48 hours to respond", but 4 business days later, still nothing. Has anyone had any issues with this or does anyone know if there's a waiting period from when you activate a card until you can use it as I did it all on the same day?
I'm a member, never got the CI offer, all the offers I get are pretty worthless (250 miles, 1 mile per $ etc...). Not sure why.
When it comes to conspiracy theorists, I learned the best way to deal with them is to completely ignore them 🙂
I spent $1000 on the Forest Conservation donation to receveiv 240,000 miles... When do I receive the 1st 40,000 and when do I receive the other 200,000 miles???? Seems like no-one answers this???
Will Simplymiles show up on CashBackMonitor when searching for the best earning portal?
Has anyone received their miles from Simply Miles for purchases made prior to 10a CT on Dec-14? I made a Best Buy purchase prior to that time that didn't post 'til 15th; will that count for the bonus? I haven't even received base miles.
The 40K will take up to 15 days to post and the additional 200K will take 6-8 weeks to post
No, SimplyMiles is card-linked activation, not a portal site. It may be possible to stack both SimplyMiles and portal for some retailers (e.g. BestBuy)
Ben,
Is double dipping with SimplyMiles and AAdvantageeshopping allowed? I've noticed that some of the vendors are present on both.
I registered and made a purchase from Best Buy early morning December 14. As of January 10, it has yet to show up as "miles earned". I have submitted two support tickets. The first response was to call 800-882-8880 which is the reservations number for AA. The second support ticket has gone unanswered for two weeks. No miles posted. I have been an Advantage member since 1984.
