Have been focusing my shopping efforts heavily through the AGR shopping portal of late and the points have been adding up in a hurry. Just this year we received 35,000 points so far. Here is how I did it with some of my favorite retailers:
Home Depot.(4 pts per $1) - Doing some home renovations and also had to rebuild the deck this year and purchased all the materials necessary. Spent over $7,500 and received 30,000 points.
ShoeBuy.com (14 points per dollar) and Famous Footwear (11 points per dollar) My chiropractor advised me to wear only Avia sneakers to correct spinal inflammation and soreness.. Was able to buy these shoes while racking up 1350 points and BTW they work and feel great!.
Hertz- on our recent trip to CHI a weeks rental, the quadruple points offer and the 100 extra points per day added up to 1900 points but I am still struggling to get them. Currently AGR is reviewing.
Magazineline ; (21 points per $1) Everyone reads train magazines while on a train, right? Not really but 2100 points sounds pretty good to me for three subscriptions. Call me old fashioned but WiFi on Amtrak routes is still pretty scarce and 4G service outside the cities is pretty chiddy. The TV's in the rooms have gone away long ago and I can at least read while dining at mealtime or in my room.
Sears.com ( 3 points per dollar spent). Appliances, deck furniture, tools and yard accessories rounded out the purchases so far- another 2200 points.
I am sure that the shopping partners appreciated the business and we nearly have enough points for a two zone bedroom trip.
