15 Miles per Dollar Today Only at United Portal
January 21, 2017
The United shopping portal is offering 15 miles per dollar today only (until 11:59 PM ET on 1/22/17) at a number of stores that normally offer only 2-5 miles per dollar.
I value United miles at 1.6 cents each, so getting 15 miles per dollar on your purchase is like getting 24% of your purchase rebated back in United miles (in addition to the 1x or more you're getting on your credit card purchase normally.)
Here are the 15x stores:

TODAY ONLY: Get 51 Miles Per Dollar on Magazine Purchases
May 27, 2016
The American Airlines eShopping portal is offering 50 miles per dollar spent at magazines.com through today (May 27, 2016.)
Portals are a way to earn extra miles. You start your online shopping at a portal, click a link that adds cookies to your browser to prove you started in the portal, and then purchase things on other sites at normal price while getting bonus miles.
Portals generally offer small miles per dollar at stores that have small margins. For instance, you can get 1 bonus mile per dollar at walmart.com through the American Airlines portal.

Forum Buzz: Why You Shouldn’t Participate in the 250 Taca Miles Portal Deal
October 15, 2012
According to this very active thread on FlyerTalk, Taca Airlines is offering 250 LifeMiles for each purchase made through its e-shopping portal through October 31st. (Hat Tip Mommy Points.) The most important part of this deal is, according to the terms and conditions, there are NO minimums on purchases. Conceivably, you could order many inexpensive items separately and rack up Taca miles quickly.
Many in the FlyerTalk forum are attempting to order multiple $1 items from various stores in the shopping portal. If everything goes as planned, they will receive 250 miles for each $1 purchase.
