Earning Miles for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is less than two weeks away and you're probably going to end up sending flowers to someone (your significant other, parent, grandparent, etc...).  You might as well earn miles/points for your purchase so here's a recap of the best earning offers I've seen thus far:

• Earn 30 United miles/dollar through FTD which could be stacked with the American Express offer to receive 25% off your purchase.  
• While not as good of a deal, you can earn 15 AA miles/dollar through FTD.  If you're an elite member, you'll earn an additional 200 bonus miles
• Earn 9 AA miles/dollar through ProFlowers plus receive 20% off 
• Earn 30 AA miles/dollar through 1-800FLOWERS which is stackable with the Amex offer providing a $15 statement credit after spending $50

Earn 30 United miles/dollar through FTD

The best deal is the combination of the United promotion through FTD and the American Express offer.

If you spend $75 AI ($50 on flowers and $25 on tax/delivery/service fees) you would pay a net total of $56.20 and receive 1,500 United miles.  I value the miles at $30 thus reducing your total "spend" to $26.20.  The AA 1-800FLOWERS promotion would net you the same number of miles but cost roughly $3 more. 

Obviously the flowers and the thought are more important than the cashback/miles but it's always nice to get a bonus when doing something you were going to do anyway.
