S.P.A.M. - FINALLY!! Earn Miles for Amazon.com Purchases with Hawaiian Airlines Mileage Mall

Finally!

An airline partner that lets you earn airline miles for amazon.com purchases:
Hawaiian Airlines:

http://emarket.hawaiianair.com/mall/info/hawaiian/Amazon

Also, US Airways. Wonder what changed.

Awesome! Any other airlines? I buy lots of stuff from Amazon.com regularly as their prices are good and service is excellent.

I wonder if this is the outcome from Amazon cancelling their affiliate program for CA partners.

I don't see the offer for usairway. Anyone has a link?

Awesome............

Would this work buying gift cards? I want to ensure I get my subscribe and save!

...Wonder what changed.

Amazon has started to charge sales tax in CA and possibly other states on all purchases due to a recent state legislature. They no longer have the "edge" in one of the biggest markets.

No, Amazon does not collect California sales tax.

USAir says no restrictions. Though, I too I wonder if it works for buying gift cards and/or spending gift cards. If it works for both....

Being Amazon affiliate I can say yes. Amazon pays commission both when giftcards are purchased and when they are used. Whether USAir pays to the user in both cases I don't know, but I don't see why not.

It does say no restrictions. So it seems one can get 2 miles for each $ at amazon. One for buying a gift card and one for spending the gift card. (Apparently can't buy gift cards with gift cards, otherwise this would be quite a loop...)

No, Amazon does not collect California sales tax.Placed an order today and was happy to see that is still (for now) the case ^

I buy almost everything from Amazon so let the miles begin.

Has anyone done this successfully?

Has anyone done this successfully?

Given that it's been here 5 days, the first question I have is has anyone gotten miles for amazon at all - and then after that if there is a way to double them.

About time!! I really wish AA, DL, and B6 would get them too. Or ebates...but that would be too good to be true. Zappos used to be in the shopping portals, but they no longer participate...maybe since it's now an Amazon company? I guess they can't justify it being so competitive on pricing, shipping, and (usually) tax. On another note, buy.com is an a lot of the programs, usually with similar pricing and product selections as Amazon. I will use them when possible to rack up some miles...so there's an option for some FTers too. However, most of my purchases are Amazon just due to the overwhelmingly good prices and selection, so I try to use my loyalty to them as an advantage to leverage pull with any customer service issues that arise.

I used to go to Amazon through a portal that donated a small percentage of each purchase to a charity of my choice. It was nice to be rewarded in giving back, but even that program has sadly been discontinued very recently:

I'm not sure who is and isn't reading the news, but this random article:
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/01/business/la-fi-amazon-sales-tax-20110701
corresponds to my experience of Amazon still not collecting sales tax in California.

Regardless, I'm curious when anyone gets the miles to post.

I have started getting the miles posted for purchases with the gift cards, but my $2K in gift cards have not posted, so I am wondering if they do not count. I did not see anything in the terms excluding them. I would even be happy if they posted in Hawaiian and then could be used for credit on US Air for 1 mile per $.

Regardless, I'm curious when anyone gets the miles to post.

My miles from an Amazon purchase posted to US today. (No gift card involved.)

Mine, too for purchases made about a week ago. That was fast (US Air)

I purchased $200 worth of Amazon gift cards through the US Airways portal on 7/29 and the miles posted on 8/4

Can I buy a $1,000 gift card from amazons for amazons and then sell it and get the miles at a cheaper rate ?

So I buy the GC for $1000 collect 1,000miles then sell it for $990 buying a mile for 1 cent ?

I often wondered whether this would work or not....doubt it though.

why not? someone's gotten points for buying GCs already, so it should work in that case.

But who are you going to sell the gift card to???
Especially since you will want cash.

Plus there is huge risk involved in selling them.

The one last thing is not finally you can earn miles. But they brought back the ability to earn miles through amazon. (Years ago amazon stopped this but now looks like they brought it back)

Mine, too for purchases made about a week ago. That was fast (US Air)

Not so fast anymore. I made two purchases on 2nd and 3rd and still have not received miles.

Purchased on 8/8 and miles posted on 8/17 into my HA account. With that kind of swift follow up, they got me at hello. Amazon now is upgraded to my online vendor of choice.:)

This is superb news for many, but there's one good reason not to use it: If you have access to an Associates account where commissions will be passed back to you without violating the TOS (or at least not in a manner putting you at risk). For example, if you own a business that has an Associates account used for web properties, or a friend with the same who is willing to pass commissions back to you. In these circumstances, you can get 4% - 10% back readily, vastly trumping the value of the miles.

10 days for me and so far no miles. We'll see how this evolves.

CA tried to tax Amazon by claiming that their affiliates in CA would qualify as their presence in CA and they should collect taxes. Amazon responded with closing down all the CA affiliate programs, therefore ending their so-called presence and they do not have to collect taxes anymore.

Time for you to read the news.

Approaching 3 weeks for 2 different purchases through the US Airways mileage mall and nothing posted. The first people to buy through the malls seemed to get miles posted in a week or so...what are people's recent experiences??

I'm still waiting for mine to post ad well. Ordered about 3 weeks ago. Will probably have to wait until end of the month.

I just placed a small order tonight on Amazon.com - we'll see how long it will take to post...

< Oops Posted in wrong thread >

I bought a giftcard through the Hawaiian portal several weeks ago and nothing posted yet. Anyone else had luck?

Placed an order on 8/19, still haven't received miles for it.

10 days for me and so far no miles. We'll see how this evolves.

4 weeks and still nothing. Looks like a scam to me.

4 weeks and still nothing. Looks like a scam to me.

How many weeks do the T&Cs say to wait? No chance there could have been a tracking issue with your cookies, disqualified items, or any explanation other than that they set out to scam you?

Same problem for me ... My first few Amazon purchases posted very quickly. Since that time, I've made multiple purchases through the HawaiianAir mileage mall and not a single one of them have been credited back to my Hawaiian account.

I'm not sure about Hawaiian Airlines, but on USAirways.Skymall, their FAQ said:

When will my miles be posted to my account?

Miles will be posted within 8-10 weeks from the date your product is SHIPPED from the merchant. If you do not see the miles in your Dividend Miles account within 8 weeks, please contact the Mall Support Team. Please note that we cannot research orders that are more than 6 months old.

I can imagine that's probably true for Hawaiian too...just a thought.

How many weeks have passed since your latter, non-posting orders were shipped?

that latter is what concerns me. I do a lot of cashback shopping and I am pretty certain I am all good with cookies etc. 1 month is kind of long for a cashback to credit and we are talking about 3-4 separate orders.

1 month is kind of long for a cashback to credit and we are talking about 3-4 separate orders.

A 4-week delay wouldn't be unusual, nor would be 6-8 weeks, especially if the T&Cs warn you to expect that sort of posting window. I suggest waiting until the posting window has passed, and if you are missing miles, simply email them your order details placed via their mall and they should research and credit you. Hopefully won't be needed, but usually reliable if it is.

How many weeks have passed since your latter, non-posting orders were shipped?

Some are as old as 4-5 weeks.

Bought some stuff a couple of weeks ago. Miles posted already.

I *THINK* I might have figured out the problem ...

It appears that Amazon will not report the purchase back to HawaiianAir if you merely link through to Amazon and then purchase items that are already in your Amazon basket/cart.

To get the 2-mile-per-dollar credit, you must first empty your Amazon cart (if necessary), link through to Amazon from HawaiianAirMiles shopping portal, and then place items in your basket directly from that link and complete your purchase.

(FYI: I do a lot of internet shopping and use quite a few different shopping rebate sites. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with a merchant refusing to issue credit for a purchase simply because the items were not added into my shopping basket after I navigate through the rebate site.)

Could be, but as the Amazon Associates program isn't reliant upon that requirement, I would be surprised. In other words, Amazon will still report credit for items placed in the cart before the qualifying session, so I don't see how the airline could be excluding them.

1/3 purchases posted! Took a while, but at least there is some sort of credit, although the 2 earlier purchases are still missing.

I personally do lots of cash back shopping online. And with Hawaiian Shopping I've only received 229 miles from over $2K worth of amazon spending (multiple transactions.
Since then I switched to US Airways and so far received 1250 miles

Don't think I'll bother trying to chase up on my missing miles. I'll just use it on US Air albeit with half the miles

Still waiting here for my 4K miles for the $2K in gift cards from July. They have not replied to the latest email. I remember when this first started, I had to re enter my login several times when shopping. I am annoyed to say the least!

JudyJFLA

Just saw this and cancelled/reordered a couple items that I just purchased!

Placed an order on 8/19. Miles hadn't posted, so I sent in a support ticket. They replied with an email saying that they can take up to 8 weeks to post and not to bother them until then.

Anyone think any other airlines might join this Amazonfest or is it just Hawaiian and US Air by contract

I placed 2 orders..both under $10 to test it out. I have been concentrating on trying to find things on Buy.com and order from there for the United Months of Miles promo...so my Amazon has been limited!

Order #1 - 8/13
Order #2 - 9/4

Both posted on 9/14.....

I just made a small order on US Airways so we will see how long that will take.

I am also using the Hawaiian Airlines toolbar to get some additional miles...I didn't get anything to download it but I have a trip to Hawaii next year I am saving for!

Yes -

I had purchases on 8/23 and 8/24 both post to Dividend Miles on 9/1. Also 8/11 purchase posted 8/18.

My Amazon orders from LAST WEEK already posted on my Hawaiian Airlines account! Wow...that was quick. I wish all shopping malls could operate like that!!!

Wish United had this kind of deal. My fathers business spends more than $10k a month on purchases made on Amazon and I think I could route a lot of that through my credit card. Unfortunately, I exclusively fly United so this is not of much use to me. Glad you guys are able to use it, good luck!

Until United does offer something like this, why not collect US Airways or Hawaiian Airlines miles? If he spends $10k/month, that's $10k miles each month!!! You could either book a Star Alliance award or use points.com to transfer them into something you could use.

Thanks for the tip regarding using the HA toolbar. I've been using the MyPoints toobar for searches and am close to enough pts for a redemption. Once I drain MyPoints I'm going to follow your approach as I likewise have plans for a vacation in HI next year. Just got the two HA Visas/bonuses, so I'm happy. Also have used the HA shopping portal/Amazon frequently and each time, within about ten days, the miles have posted.

How did you get both? I read about that but when I am on my Hawaiian miles page either link I click takes me to Bank of America. I believe the other card is issued from Bank of Hawaii....

I just got the Bank of America Hawaiian Miles card on Friday. How long did you wait to apply for the Bank of Hawaii card? Was there an issue if you don't live in Hawaii?

Perhaps someone more savvy than I can respond as to the whys and wherefores of approval for both. Don't want to hijack the thread. I didn't do anything special. I applied in a straightforward manner, just as with any application. When I didn't get instant online approval for BofA, I called the app number and a rep assisted with taking more needed info. Then I got the dreaded "more review" decision. About a week later I got a phonecall from their card services go-between; repeated the exercise, and got approved. For the Bank of HI app, I only did the online app, on the same day as I applied w/BofA. Then, it played out same way where they followed up with a call to me seeking added info. Got approved with the HI residency requirement absent from the discussion. Frankly, I just gambled on it as the extra pull on my credit wasn't a biggie for me. Best I can figure is Bank of HI isn't very strict about their suggested HI resident preference. Hope you get the results you desire.

I made seven purchases on Amazon (via HA shopping site) from 9/13 thru 9/17 and they posted into my Hawaiian Air site on 9/21.

deleted dup. sorry

Has this now dropped to 1 miles/$??

Has this now dropped to 1 miles/$??

For US Airways at least, yes.

I made a purchase on 9/23 that posted on 9/29, but my purchase from 8/19 still hasn't posted.

US earnings have dropped to .5 per dollar

Yeah, Hawaiian Air's earning rate has dropped to 1 mi/$ now.

Seems like Amazon may have just cut the commissions being paid out, and that's reflected in these new earnings rates.

US earnings have dropped to .5 per dollar

Yup. :td: Typical US enhancement. :td:

2/6 for me so far. Can't figure out why some of them didn't credit :confused::mad:

For US Air at least, the items cannot be in your basket prior to clicking through their shopping mall to Amazon.

Where did you read that Associates commissions were reduced?

Sorry, that was just a guess since they had cuts across the board. Or maybe the mall operators just realized it wasn't as profitable? Guesses, all.

Still no miles on Hawaiian yet for my $2K in gift cards from early July, HA told me to contact Amazon, but there is no link on the Amazon help site to do that. I think I am screwed for the 4K miles....

I do not believe amazon.com gift cards count. There is an exclusion clause on the page for terms and conditions.... In addition Freecause, the company that runs it, makes mention that gift cards may be excluded.

What I find interesting is that there is no true point of contact for missing orders. In most airline shopping malls there is a form to fill out for missing orders. In most credit card shopping malls their customer service department will handle research.

The terms basically state that you need to go to the merchant to get the miles...which makes no sense what-so-ever! Especially someone like Amazon.

I use a lot of shopping malls but I am only using HA for amazon orders since I am planning a trip to Hawaii...

I'm beginning to think the gift cards are no longer earning miles. I received USAir miles for the first two that I ordered and then nothing since then.

Gift cards count in the Amazon Associates program, and as any third party is passing through that, it should count for the miles they distribute as well. Regardless, the best way to kill this goose is to complain to Amazon. I suggest not doing that in any circumstance. If you must take it up with someone, do it with FreeCause.

Also, as I noted earlier, if you have access to an Associates account via a friend, etc., you can earn several % back on Amazon orders rather than a mile or two. That's the better route is you have access to it.

I noticed last night when making an Amazon purchase through the US Airways shopping portal that the yield was down from 1/$ to 0.5/$. As a result, I thought I would go through Hawaiian Airlines instead since they were offering 2/$. Hawaiian had also cut their yield in half to 1/$. Maybe I'm the last to notice this, but I thought I would mention it in case someone else had missed it.

It's still nice to get miles for shopping at Amazon, but it was better when it was twice as many :)

I've been using the HA portal to Amazon for a long time and frequently. Tried to shop there a few days ago and found the process uncustomarily glitchy. Am thinking now, after reading your post, perhaps it was being re-tooled or something when I was trying. It did not occur to me at the time that a reduction in earning power was getting installed. <sigh>

Re-tooled? Naw, their site just caught the new "Bank of America - We have a right to make a profit" virus. Per my antivirus vendor, the solution is to install the French "Stop Banque" antivirus software marketed by OccupyWallSt.org. After the software sniffs a vendor fee increase or offer devaluation it raises an alarm and attempts to coordinate an exit to further relationships with the dastard vendor.:p

Ahhh, so it's true. The end of the world is upon us. Have you told the Bilderbergers about your software? Could there be a RestoreBanque anti to their anti, coded in French, of course.

Unfortunately, US Airways has switched mall vendors and no longer offers Amazon.com.

Looks like they went with Cartera....BIG mistake. Anyone who follows the threads knows the nightmares happening with the AA Shop Mall and now the United Months of Miles fiasco..............

I have tons of missing miles from United that are missing that Cartera is ""researching"...

Same here. Cartera isn't up to the task. The US Sky Mall posted quickly and I had never had to claim a missing purchase.

Well looks like Amazon just does not need shoppers this year. We will shop WalMart or someone who will give us miles.... Thanks!

Or it could be that their prices are so competitive that margins are low and they don't have the same wiggle-room as retailers with twice the margins. A quick look at their sales growth doesn't indicate they are doing anything wrong

Note, however, that you can get a modest 5% or so cash back on all Amazon purchases if you or someone you know has an Associates account and you go about it the right way.

Hawaiian still offers Amazon.

considering I am 0/5 for my last 5 purchases I am pretty much giving up on this junk. What a poor rebate site, even worse than discover.

2011 – Amazon has until July 31, 2012 to lobby Congress for a federal solution. Until then, it doesn't have to collect sales tax in the Golden State.

I have Hawaiian miles and they do post Amazon purchases. I make sure I go through the miles search bar (you also get miles for this), and it pops up on Amazon that the miles are being earned.

Welcome btw!

This is great. I have a granddaughter living in Hawaii and I shop amazon all the time. This will be an easy way to earn miles:p

This is awesome. I am so happy this is a new deal. My granddaughter lives in Hawaii and I shop on Amazon. It sure will help visiting her.

Hi All,
I might have posted this to a wrong section of the forum, if so please forgive me:D
I am about to buy $2000 worth of stuff on Amazon.com. I am trying to find the best way to earn points. As I know only Hawaiian miles program has Amazon.com. I currently don't have the Chase Freedom card for 5% cashback
I will have to buy those stuff this week so I can't apply for a new card.
Does anyone know any other ways to get points or cashback on Amazon
Thanks

Amazon has historically not provided generous bonuses/cash-backs/coupons incentives - which is very understandable as Amazon business model assumes you either like what this site is doing and buy regardless of rewards or you don't like it and extra 2-5% will not Amazon your business.

So Hawaiian is your best bet at the moment and use it while it's still there - I personally think it will disappear sometimes in 2012 (as did US Airways in 2011) as again it just doesn't fit Amazon's business model.

chase freedom.. nuff said! its also good for 5% at lowes and home depot. I dont like JPMChase, but tHey're going to own all of the other CC companies at this rate--

If you live in an area where supermarkets give rewards for purchases (I live in Northern NY and Price Chopper gives 10 cent gas rewards for each $50 purchased). The rewards are given for gift card purchases which include Amazon

Does anyone have a link for details about Amazon benefits from Chase Freedom?? I see only talk about 5% back for categories that change every quarter - and you have to opt in...Nothing about specific vendors. Thanks in advance.

The Amazon benefit on Chase Freedom IS part of the first quarter benefit for 2012. It's not a normal reward.

The Citi Forward card will give you 5 TYP/$ on purchases coded as "bookstore", which is most of the traditional Amazon shipments (i.e. not fulfilled by someone else or a used/marketplace purchase).

https://www.chasebonus.com/

This is the first time I recall when a specific merchant (Amazon) was listed rather than a category of merchants (discounters/online) though last quarter the promotional material was suggestive, "get 5% back at department stores, like Kohl's!" Chase does issue the Amazon cards so it is not a huge jump for them.

So far the only way I can find it is by googling it. It's somewhat unsettling that it won't show up on the partners directory nor will it show up when you search the Hawaiian site. What am I missing? I wonder if they dropped Amazon already?
Thanks in advance.

It is there if you sign and to the shopping mall and then in the search field enter the word "amazon"....but I agree it is weird it is not listed as a merchant.

I downloaded the Hawaiian Airlines rewards bar. I was missing orders from December and realized I forgot to "click" the pop up to start earning when I went to the Amazon site. This month I have placing orders through Amazon...I have the bar installed and then I just "click" to earn and the green "earning" button lights up on the shopping bar. So far my January orders have earned miles.

Just be careful to "disable" the Hawaiian bar is you want to earn miles in a different program. For instance I wanted to get Ultimate Rewards miles from Chase in November from a merchant. I never got them even though I went through the Chase Ultimate Rewards mall. Later I see I got Hawaiian miles for them, so the shopping bar grabbed the order even though I went through the mall...

So far the only way I can find it is by googling it. It's somewhat unsettling that it won't show up on the partners directory nor will it show up when you search the Hawaiian site. What am I missing? I wonder if they dropped Amazon already?
Thanks in advance.

Go to www.hawaiianairlines.com
click on the Hawaiianmiles link at the top of the page
Click on Earn Hawaiian Miles when you shop or dine
Then click on Hawaiian Miles Emarket

I have Amazon listed as a favorite so that is listed at the top of the page.

I buy the gift cards at the Grocery (Sweetbay, but not at Publix) for the bonus points and then spend via Hawaiian.

Cheers!

I've been using the HA mall since the beginning of November and only 7 miles have posted. Should I be concerned? I've placed several thousand worth of orders on Amazon since then.

Thanks.

I would be concerned. How are you linking to the site? are you signing in to your Hawaiian Miles account first, then going to Emarket, then clicking "buy now" to enter Amazon? Are you using the shopping mall toolbar bar that is downloaded? If you use the shopping mall bar at the top of your page, you have to go to Amazon then click the pop up bar that should show up on the top of your page. Then the "earning" light should turn green....it should remain green throughout your purchase.

If you have downloaded any other toolbars for United, American, US Airways then you need to totally disable them. Otherwise it might interfere with Hawaiian miles shopping mall.

I missed some orders in December because I forgot to click the pop up bar and it didn't change to "earning" on the shopping bar.

As far as tracking missing orders...good luck. I emailed Hawaiian Airlines customer service weeks ago about missing miles from Amazon purchases and have had no response back....

I made a purchase from Amazon through the portal and the miles posted just fine (1-1) in about a week or so. I don't have the toolbar installed though.

Thanks for the reply. I've been logging into the HA eMarket site and clicking on Amazon. I don't have any toolbars installed on my comp.

It's always frustrating trying to track these miles down. Argh!

Just tried using the Hawaiian shopping portal to buy something on Amazon.com and the search box pulls up Amazon as a partner, but when I click on it to go shopping it says it's not found. Thinking the days of earning HA miles from Amazon are now dead... :(

Don't see Amazon in the Hawaiian emarket anymore :(

For as long as it took credit the miles, wasn't worth the trouble anyway lol.

:confused:

How long did yours take to credit? For me, using the HA toolbar, it seemed to take about a month and everything posted correctly. Considering these were purchases I needed to make from amazon anyway, that was some nice icing on the cake...thousands of miles in my case.

Yes, this seems to be dead. Amazon is still showing up in my list of favorite partners, but when I click on it, it just redirects to the home page.

FWIW - its back:

You may have to play around on the Hawaiian Airlines shopping mall to find a way for it to work; I attempted to make an order on June 1st and was having difficulty and being redirected, but after playing around on the site I was able to successfully link over to Amazon.com

i bought stuff with amazon there but never got a HA mile from it

As of today: works just fine and still getting all miles credited. ^

DC333, how fast do they seem to be crediting them? Thanks!

Have used a bunch of times over the past few months and year and never had a problem getting miles posted...seems to always take a couple weeks for me.

From the Hawaiian eMarket page:
"COMING SOON! Amazon.com will have some exciting new changes in December. Instead of earning 1 mile per dollar on all categories, you will be able to earn MORE miles on featured, rotating categories. Watch for our changes and check back often for our latest category earn opportunities!"

I have a feeling soon I won't be able to earn miles on my monthly ramen purchase anymore ... :p

saw it today as well :eek: Oh well, only 1/3 credited and with the new categories I am sure ebates/fatwallet and others will be better.

I received a (targeted?) email today that AA is offering 10x miles / $ at Amazon.com through the end of the year. Assume you have / will see the same.

Hopefully this is available to everyone. I could use some AA miles.

Is this dead?

If you are asking about the Hawaiian airlines shopping mall link to Amazon, then no, it is working fine for me. Hawaiian miles post after a short delay.

too bad it doesn't work with amazon payments

Can you give us a few more details on this? I don't see a click through on the shopping portal for Amazon.

For what it's worth... I don't see it as an option on the Hawaiian toolbar, either. Made a purchase today and no extra points

Several cash back sites have 3%+ in major categories, sometimes much higher when promotions are running. If you or someone you know has an Amazon Associates account, you can get 6%+ quite easily. Unless you value the heck out of your Hawaiian miles, those cash back options are much more appealing.

I buy a couple thousand a month in amazon gift certificates, I have tried amazon associates before but they closed the account (since you are buying and using your own affiliate account. I don't believe Hawaiian lets you earn miles for amazon gift cards right?

How do you find the amazon link on their rewards portal?

Go to: http://emarket.hawaiianair.com/site/hawaiian/

There is a Search box on the upper right of the Hawaiian window. Type in "Amazon" and press Enter.

Don't buy via your own account if your the only one who uses it or you can't otherwise cleverly work around that rule. Find someone else with an account who will work with you. Worth 6%.

It was a targeted email from Citi (not Amazon or airline) with a personalized link enrolling my personal Citi AA Visa CC for the month of December at 10 AA miles / $ spent at Amazon. Previous targeted Citi promos I have received appear as bonus miles in monthly Citi statements. No Cartera here.

This is not my primary CC, so I'm not sure why I got the offer. Earlier in the year, I received an offer for 3x miles on payments on insurance policies (vice 1x). Citi seems to be throwing odd (yet appreciated) offers my way to see where I jump.

I assumed in my OP--incorrectly, it appears--that other people would have received this offer as well via HA and / or AA.

It's not working for me. Anybody having better luck than I?

Use their toolbar. A link will pop up when you go to Amazon that says something like "Click here to earn miles."

Does the link below work for you?

Note that they are changing the earning scheme from 1 mile on everything to "earn miles on featured rotating categories" per 1/23/13

this is a common problem. HA is just crappy. Try again in a few hours, I just used it this morning, so it definitely still works.

Well obviously the Amazon/Hawaiian Miles offer is done for getting miles on all Amazon purchases; thankfully there's now another site that allows points for ALL Amazon purchases! Even purchases made with Amazon Gift Cards:
