Were you able to sort by price? I'm finding it hard to easily find all the 99c books.

Google 0.99 site:ebooks.com! It's actually .79 with discount code categorysalecp (published at lifemiles.com)! Nevertheless, I would be careful with transactions costing less than 1 USD before getting the first miles... Depending on the way they calculate the miles, the end result can either be 0 or 252-253 miles.

good point although there was no minimum specified in the t&c

thanks for the help re price of books, perhaps purchasing 2 in a single transaction at $1.60 might be better.

There are some costing exactly 1 USD. If you have bought 100+ ebooks&booking tricked flights, you don't want any extra attention to your account if not absolutely necessary... Their system might credit the 250 miles only when getting miles from the transaction... Anyway, in 2-3 days we should know unless T&C change on Monday... I think all of us are very interested to know whether only full dollars are counted...

I also go the same thing and did what you did. Crossing my fingers.


To those who went to drugstore.com, how did you avoid the shipping fee? Or did you spend the $25?

Those buying ebooks should not buy more than 2 copies of the same book. After buying third copy of the same book, the transaction might have to be processed manually (at least mine was)...

By the way, lifemiles have many uncategorized partners like expedia which can be useful for normal transactions.

I do not think that is a third party order, its ships from drugstore.com, not Walgreens, correct?

250 bonus miles for EACH e-store purchase in October 2012

Ok I'm in for 300 orders at drugstore - I built a nice script running once a minute. Anyone ahead of me?

Oh and who bought all the 74c shampoo?
