As an example, the Ultimate
Rewards Mall already offers 5 points per dollar this month at Nordstrom and Macy's so shopping there with the Chase Freedom card through the portal will earn 10 points per dollar at each of these stores.
Also, make sure you weren't
already on Staples and don't have anything in a basket; if you were on the Staples site, best to clear cookies just in case, to ensure you get the 5x points for going through the Ultimate
Rewards Mall
