Flying Blue Apple Shopping Portal

Thrifty Traveler just covered an article about using a shopping portal for Apple purchases and I (Nic here) was intrigued because my AirPods are in huge need of an upgrade.

​The Flying Blue shopping portal and Apple partnership includes some of Apple’s newest models, whereas other shopping portal rates are limited to the older products only.

​I’m still rocking the AirPods 2 (somehow) and was able to get four solid years out of them, but the battery life simply doesn’t hold up anymore.

​Taking a look at the Flying Blue + Apple shopping portal, I could get 640 Flying Blue miles (4X miles) for the freshly launched AirPods 5:

​Prices are very comparable to online retailers - and there’s also free shipping.

​Stack the purchase with a 2X card like this one or this one, and we’re looking at 6X back on certain Apple products.

​Worth mentioning that the refund policy with the Flying Blue shopping portal only covers transit damage, defective, or mismatched products - which is different from buying directly with Apple.

​Consider checking out the product at an Apple store, read reviews thoroughly, and avoid impulse purchases so you don’t get stuck with a product you don’t want anymore.

​Lastly, double check prices to ensure you’re getting a good deal as some prices are lower, higher, or the same depending on the items selected inside the portal.
