First time I've been asked to write a review. I don't always get the miles when I click but I don't follow through to get them and that is on me. So it is sporadic for my purchases. I'll take what miles I can get from now on though.
Much better than American Airline shopping button. However, I had a few purchases from Home Depot and always never posted miles so I had to ask for points credit. Consumers and members here should be aware that Home Depot is not automatically awarding points for purchase. Beware of Home Depot.
I love shopping with this plan! It is so straightforward, and I have never had any problems with it.
So easy to use and the pop up reminder to activate on the appropriate purchases is wonderful! Easy to attach to a purchase.
Looks like a good idea, but in practice the $550 purchase I made today only gave me the usual miles even though the extension said 3/$. But you "accept the offer" and the progress bar stops half way through and never actually does for you what they pretend it will. Locked my card and am storing it away. Dont bother with the extension if you have a MBP.
I LOVE IT! I installed it yesterday and it has worked great. A message pops up to let me know what I'm earning. In fact, I was on a site that participates and I didn't even know! So, YAY! Seriously, it's terrifici and I haven't encountered any problems! Oh, and a pop up told me of a different site that had the same item at a lower price. It saved me forty dollars~nice!!
works great most times . There's those couple of stores that doesn't track your shopping with properly but other than that I love using the button. so easy!
I love getting miles for shopping!! Always receive them as long as I make sure the button is active! Great benefit!! Thank you Alaska! See you in the sky
...How do i love this extension, well I just saved $180 my recent airline ticket. i suppose i 'love it alot' :)
It seems to work good, Don't always check to see if I received the miles.
I use this button regularly for shopping at a particular site I use almost daily but the activation button will occasionally fade away on its own once I'm on the site before I'm able to activate the offer. This is really frustrating. I made a large purchase recently that didn't get tracked by Alaska but the next day I made another purchase on the same site (from the same computer, using the same button, most updated version of Chrome, updated iOS, etc) and it worked. As the process usually goes, I was notified by email that my order has been tracked for the miles. When I asked customer service at Alaska why I wasn't notified that the previous purchase was being tracked I was told I couldn't bring the matter up until at least 10 days had passed. This is bullocks.
I have MVP Gold status and am generally the biggest cheerleader and evangelist for Alaska. However, this plugin rarely if ever works properly. It pops up on eligible sites but gets stuck when trying to activate offers. The progress bar indicator just stops... Looks like I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, based on other comments. I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome on a Macbook Pro.
Love earning miles! This makes it easy to get closer to my travel goals.
Always nice to tack on miles to the best mileage program in the business.
Im so happy that many of my purchases use Alaska Airlines miles. This is the best thing ever. I hope that Alaska Airlines participate with more online stores like Shein, Fashion Nova, Temu, Amazon and many many more. Thank you again
Easy and simple way to earn miles from lots of stores that you would normally shop at! Mileage acrued are usually in small amounts but still better than nothing. Now if only they could convince Amazon to join in!...
This is a great addition to my Chrome! I love that I can shop whilst earning miles!
I love Alaska Airlines! It's kool to have the extra miles, even for the small stuff! They add up! Thanks
Love this extension and the whole program. Works great! We've already redeemed some miles and it was so worth it
I've just started using this extension and will update my review once I am able to redeem my points but so far I'm loving it. It's incredibly easy to use and I am able to earn points at many of the businesses I currently shop at. I don't love shopping but this has made it fun.
It is very wonderful and exciting to gain Alaska Airline miles while shopping anytime! Thank you! Keep up the great shopping experiences!
Even after installing the extension, I didn't start my online shopping through the button. I am often pleasantly surprised to find that a store I access through a search engine/e-mail link qualifies for miles. When looking for gift ideas last holiday season, I finally clicked the button for the first time. Over the months, I've learned of online stores I did not frequent before that have become new favorites. Now clicking the button is part of most (online) shopping trips for me as there is always the chance of finding those not-so-rare seasonal discount codes/extra miles promotions. There was a time my purchase didn't seem to qualify for miles even after a month, but customer service helped me straighten that out.
love earning miles. this makes it effortless
I absolutely love shopping with the extension button! It is a non-intrusive easy way to earn miles!
Thank you. I love it. Easy way to get miles.
I have accumulated nearly 20,000 miles in 3 months! Love it.
Really easy to use, accumulated almost 2000 miles last year!
Love it! It always gets me miles! Win/win!
This extension has never worked for me. Clicking the activate button puts it into an "activating" state that it never recovers from.
There's so much value to the Alaska Airlines Milage Plan Chrome extension that I make a point to check the retailers offering miles before I buy anything. It's effortless and easy. Kinda hate that I shopped online without it until now!
I love this site. I can only speak as an Alaska Airlines member but they make it user friendly to search and find what you want *AND* the app gently lets you know " Psst we can get it for you wholesale" when you are shopping. I have had ZERO problems with it and it has been accurate every time. I don't use any other airlines reward site. It's in the background on my tool bar along with my Capitol One both let me know when it's cheaper somewhere else OR reminding me that I could get rewards using their extension.
Often doesn't work. It says that it has activated extra miles and I get a pop up saying I earned extra miles after the purchase but then they don't appear in my account (even after waiting a couple weeks). Then I have to manually submit a form asking for the purchase to be converted to miles and have to submit receipts. It's a headache.
This extension has made it so much easier for me to track discounts and the resulting miles accrued. Love this!
Good concept. I had this for about 2 weeks but it's annoying when the extension pops up and there is no X to close it and get it out of the way. I will be uninstalling it I am sure once it gets annoying enough which is going to be soon!
So easy to earn miles on things I use in the office and at home!
Great design! Non intrusive way to earn miles. So many times these apps get in the way of using the primary site. Your design adds value to my internet purchasing.
I love it but it gets annoying sometimes when it disables itself right at my checkout and I don't get the miles. If I remember, because you usually get an email notifying that you WILL receive miles for shopping) I will reach out to help center and request for them to investigate it (usually get a reply but never a follow up or the miles). So, make sure it is ACTIVATED before checking out!
Easy to use with one click. Add miles to my account for almost all sites where I purchase. I love how it pops up to ask me if I want to use it. Love it only takes 1 click.
Easy to use and track rewards. I also have the American Airlines shopping miles reward app and it always "fun" to see which one is going to offer me the best deal. I noticed that both of the apps offer mileage for a wide variety of different vendors, some of which I have auto renewal subscriptions with. I wish there was a way to earn mileage with the vendors for which auto renewal is applicable. For instance, I noticed that with "Norton" that the Alaska app is offering 20 miles (usually 12 miles) for every dollar spent. My auto renewal was billed in early December... would have been nice to earn a few miles with the auto renewal.
I absoultely LOVE mileage plan shopping! I tell all my friends about it. I teach them how ti do it and we went on a girls trip free!!!! I try to only shop where I get miles. When i search an item it shows in the search which store offer miles. Same item, same price. I always choose the store that offers miles.
Extremely handy!
I like the button because it keeps me from forgetting to sign in to earn miles when I am online shopping. What I don't like is that I have to keep signing in multiple times before I am done with that order. If I am buying more than one item or having to take time researching an item before I complete a transaction I am automatically signed out and I don't know it so I miss out on miles. I wish that when I sign in and am transfered to my vendor that I would not be signed out until I have completed my order.
The site is really, really easy to use and it is connected to so many good stores and companies. It actually reminds you that you are earning miles and those miles, of course, connect to what in my opinion is the best airline in America. I typically avoid offers to gain miles and all of that, but not this time.
Doesn't actually work. It pops on on websites like Safeway.com and says "Just a moment while we activate this offer...." The progress bar moves like it's loading but then it never actually finishes. The window just stays there forever, blocking me from viewing that part of the website.
my new favorite way of earning miles for things I already shop for.
Easy and a great way to earn miles
I love this, and it has helped me build up some miles. But I have a suggestion: Too often, the extension's pop-up window stalls while it's trying to activate an offer, and then I can't get rid of the window. I can move it around, but I can't stop the process, cancel the request, or close the pop-up. Please consider giving us an out, so we don't have to open a new tab and start over. Thanks!
This is probably my favorite extension. I've accumulated SO many miles just from doing the shopping I already do... It's amazing.
Great app for a great opportunity to earn miles for buying stuff you were already going to buy anyway. It's literally as simple as, install this extension, then live your best life, and when you end up on a website where you could earn extra Alaska Air miles for money you were planning to get anyway. I've already earned enough for a round trip ticket that costs about $300. Even if you don't end up using the miles, this app also has all the current coupon codes pre-programmed so that if there's a coupon that applies to the site you're on, it will find it. Yesterday I was on the Sephora website and it must have tried 30 codes for me until it found one offer that wasn't sold out (yesterday was New Year's Eve) so while that isn't typical, it was worth more than the nothing I paid to install this extension to find the one code that would get me a free trial sized mascara. ;-) Worth it.
