by Emily Thompson, Credit Cards Editor
[TPG | Hero Image] Happy Fourth of July to all who are celebrating today! We hope your day is filled with good food and time with loved ones. And if your celebrations involve taking advantage of the sales going on this weekend, hopefully youâre using one of [the best credit cards for online shopping]( or working toward a new [welcome bonus](. On top of choosing a great card, when shopping online, make sure youâre using a [shopping portal](. Theyâre a great way to double dip on your earnings since they allow you to earn cash back, points or miles on top of what youâre earning with your credit card. For example, you can use the [American Airlines AAdvantage eShopping portal]( like TPG Senior Newsletter Editor Becky Blaine does to earn AAdvantage Loyalty Points every time she orders groceries for pickup or delivery. Stores like Walmart and Safeway routinely offer 2 or 3 points per dollar spent through the portal, which helps boost her earnings toward American Airlines elite status. [Rakuten lets you earn cash back]( or Amex Membership Rewards points and is offering triple cash back during the holiday weekend at select merchants. New to shopping portals?
