Miles for Home Improvement, Who Knew?

I recently moved. And it is universally known --  moving is a total pain.  But here's the silver lining....I've found yet another way to earn frequent flyer miles!  Beautifying your home with furnishings, appliances or special home improvement projects can lead to more miles toward your next vacation.

Visit your frequent flyer program's online shopping mall and shop stores like Crate and Barrel, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Macy's, JCP, Lumber Liquidators, Kohls, Sears, Pottery Barn, Walmart and West Elm and earn up to 4 miles per dollar spent.

Here are a two of my personal faves:

Home Depot offers in-store pick up. So not only can you earn miles, you can save on shipping by ordering online and picking up at your local store. I purchased various items for a bathroom remodel project ranging from bath fixtures to a new vanity and earned 3 miles per dollar!

And my new love, Wayfair!! They have a "zillion things for the home" and at great prices.  Not only do you get items like bedding, curtains, and furniture for great prices, you also get 3% cash back in Wayfair Rewards, often times free 2-day shipping and 1 mile per dollar spent to boot!  Wayfair is now my go-to website for home goods.

Whether you are looking for a new welcome mat, hanging curtains or spending your weekend as a DIYer laying hardwood floors, there's an opportunity for you to earn miles for your purchase.  You'll  add finishing touches to make your home that much warmer and inviting. And, you'll be several miles closer to sipping a pina colada on a tropical beach. I say that's a win win.
