When I bought a condo in 2006 I earned six figures in United miles for being referred to a realtor. Basically they were rebating a bit more than half their commission in the form of United miles.

There are opportunities to earn miles for mortgages as well, and for using a moving company. Big dollars are involved in real estate, so big miles are too.

American Home Miles will give you American AAdvantage miles for the real estate transaction, miles for working with them on your mortgage, and miles for using the moving company they refer you to. In each case they’re rebating a portion of commission.

Miles from Home will give you American AAdvantage miles for real estate transactions and mover referrals. They don’t do miles for mortgages.

You can also earn 1 Alaska mile per dollar spent on real estate through FlyHomes.

Via One Mile at a Time existing Chase Sapphire, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and Sapphire Reserve cardmembers have a limited-time opportunity to earn 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points for new residential first mortgage. This is available through August 6.

JT Genter points out that this stacks with a current $595 cash back offer.

Compare the best available rates, of course, I value 100,000 Chase points at $1900 so it’s a nice rebate that contributes to the overall value calculation of a mortgage.

Big miles from Chase for mortgage financing is hardly new. Years ago it was possible to earn big miles opening a home equity line of credit and repaying it immediately, folks earned hundreds of thousands of miles this way for very little out of pocket. It’s nice to see a big offer back, even if it’s not available on refinances.
