For one day only, United's MileagePlus Shopping is offering 15x at a number of stores.
15x is pretty close to 30% off in my book so this is a good to great deal depending on what other discounts/promos you may be able to stack and your needs.
I'm focusing on Neiman Marcus as I was able to add the $50 off $200 Amex Offer to 7 of my/Emily's Amex cards. I've already used one (on a gift card) and am waiting to validate that I earned miles from the Alaska Mileage Plan 15x bonus last week. Based on reports and past experience, I suspect I will.
I'm going to go ahead and buy another $200 e-gift card today. That will definitely trigger the $50 off so no matter what I will be saving $50 on future purchases (clothing, gifts, etc...) Assuming the 15x comes through, I'll end up with 3,000 miles...when I redeem the gift card in the future, I should be able to triple dip by earning miles/points on the future purchase.
If you were planning to buy something from one of these stores anyway or have an Amex offer on your account, I would definitely take advantage of this deal today.
