      How credit card rewards shopping portals work

      If you have a credit card, you may have access to a shopping portal as a cardmember benefit. Within your credit card rewards shopping portal, you can find promotions and browse participating retailers and stores.

      You may be able to earn rewards at a higher rate than you would if you made the purchase directly through the retailer. The credit card issuer may also offer travel-related portals where you can purchase hotel and airline tickets.

      To access the portal, you’ll typically need to navigate to your credit card mobile app, or for website access, log in through the shopping portal landing page, credit card homepage or your rewards account. Click on the deal that interests you to begin shopping.

      Be sure to follow the instructions on the deal to receive your points and enable cookies to allow your browser to correctly track your purchases.
