Flying Blue’s Apple Store Offers Extra Miles, With Strict Returns and Slower Delivery
US shoppers can earn Flying Blue miles on eligible Apple purchases, but prices and rewards vary. Canadian access is unconfirmed, and restrictive returns make comparison shopping essential.
Flying Blue’s dedicated US Apple storefront offers miles on eligible electronics purchases—not discounted flights. Prices are in USD and vary by product; the supplied offer lists no flight routes, travel window or booking deadline. The storefront displays a mileage total for each item, with reported earning rates ranging from 0.6 to 4 miles per dollar, depending on the product.
US shoppers should start at us.apple.flyingblue.com rather than Flying Blue’s separate Earning Online portal. The dedicated store handles purchases directly and reportedly rewards a broader selection of Apple products. By contrast, the traditional portal lists 13 miles per USD $10 spent but excludes numerous devices. A free Flying Blue account is required; confirm the eligible product and mileage total before paying, and save a screenshot.
For US travellers, compare the final price and rewards with Apple directly and any available MileagePlus, AAdvantage or SkyMiles shopping offers. These purchases earn Flying Blue miles, not those US airline currencies, although eligible credit-card rewards may be additional. Canadian travellers should note that the listed storefront markets are the US, France, the Netherlands and the UK: no Canadian storefront, CAD pricing or Canadian delivery eligibility is established in the supplied material. This is not an Aeroplan or WestJet Rewards promotion; shoppers using Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards US or Amex Membership Rewards Canada cards should check their own card’s purchase rewards and foreign-transaction terms.
The main trade-offs are fulfilment and returns. The source says displayed prices include applicable taxes and fees, but buyers should compare the final delivered total rather than assume a saving. Buyer’s-remorse returns are not accepted; returns are limited to damaged, defective or incorrect goods. Delivery can take four to six weeks, with no in-store pickup, and miles are typically credited about 30 days after delivery. That makes this most useful for a planned purchase—not a last-minute way to top up miles for an award booking.
