Top Portal Bonuses This Week

Portal/Extension: Capital One Shopping
Source: Upgraded Points
Link: Upgraded Points
Rate/Value: $100 in rewards on $350+ spend (about 28% back)
What: A targeted Capital One Shopping offer pays $100 in rewards when eligible members spend at least $350 with Emirates.
Why it matters: For a targeted member booking a paid Emirates flight, this is one of the largest single-portal rebates available this week — check your Capital One Shopping account before you book.

Portal/Extension: Online airline shopping portals
Source: One Mile at a Time
Link: One Mile at a Time
Rate/Value: Up to 4x bonus airline miles
Ends: Today only (9/14/26)
What: Airline shopping portals are offering up to 4x bonus miles on Apple purchases, for one day only.
Why it matters: A portal click-through plus a card that earns on Apple stacks bonus miles on top of card rewards for a purchase you'd make anyway.

Portal/Extension: Rakuten
Source: Frequent Miler
Link: Frequent Miler
Rate/Value: Up to $100 cash back or up to 10,000 Bilt Rewards points
What: Rakuten pays rewards when you apply through its link and are approved for the Chase Freedom Unlimited, Ink Business Unlimited, or newly added Ink Business Cash; the Freedom Unlimited payout is back to "up to" $100 / 10,000 Bilt points.
Why it matters: A portal payout on a card application is effectively a sign-up bonus stack — you earn the card's own bonus plus Rakuten's cash back or Bilt points.

Portal/Extension: Staples (in-store)
Source: Frequent Miler
Link: Frequent Miler
Rate/Value: $6.95 activation/purchase fee waived on $200 Mastercard gift cards (limit 9 per customer per day)
Ends: 9/19/26
What: Staples is again selling $200 Mastercard gift cards with no purchase fee from Sunday 9/13 through Saturday 9/19.
Why it matters: Fee-free gift cards are a low-cost way to work toward a card's minimum spend or a category bonus.

Portal/Extension: Kroger
Source: Frequent Miler
Link: Frequent Miler
Rate/Value: 4X fuel points
What: Kroger is awarding 4X fuel points on select third-party gift cards (online or in-store) and on fixed-value Visa/Mastercard gift cards bought in-store.
Why it matters: Kroger points can now be redeemed toward groceries (up to $10/day), so buying these with a grocery-bonus card stacks fuel and grocery value.

Portal/Extension: Costco.com
Source: Doctor of Credit
Link: Doctor of Credit
Rate/Value: 20% discount (up to $200 worth of each every 14 days)
What: Costco.com is again selling Uber and DoorDash e-gift cards at a 20% discount, presumably also available in clubs.
Why it matters: A straight 20% off rides and delivery, which you can layer on top of a card that earns well at Costco.

Portal/Extension: Chase Freedom / Freedom Flex
Source: Doctor of Credit
Link: Doctor of Credit
Rate/Value: 5% / 5x on grocery, dining, and Red Cross (Walmart and Target excluded); up to 17x at Paze restaurants on Freedom Flex
What: The Q4 2026 Freedom and Freedom Flex categories are grocery, dining, and Red Cross, with a higher Paze-restaurant rate on the Flex.
Why it matters: Buying gift cards at grocery stores lets you push the 5x grocery category onto spend you'd make elsewhere.

Portal/Extension: AmEx Offers (and comparable bank offers)
Source: Doctor of Credit
Link: Doctor of Credit
Rate/Value: 10% back at CVS, up to $5 back (headline); snippet cites up to $10 back
Ends: see source (snippet lists 12/30/25)
What: AmEx and other bank offers give 10% back at CVS, and the offer can also be used to buy a gift card.
Why it matters: A card-linked statement credit you can pair with a gift-card purchase to extend its value.

Portal/Extension: Venmo
Source: Doctor of Credit
Link: Doctor of Credit
Rate/Value: Extra 2% cash back
Ends: 10/11/26
What: A targeted offer gives Venmo Credit Card holders an extra 2% cash back on all purchases.
Why it matters: A flat 2% bump that layers on top of whatever category cash back the card already earns.
