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:

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 $.

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.

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)
