Has this been discussed before?
Through goldpoints, one can earn 2000 points per transaction with LL Bean. So if you buy a $5 gift certificate, that's 2000 points (which translate to 250 airline miles, or 50 miles to the dollar.)
Can you then take the $5 certificate and use it to make a $5 purchase, earning you 2000 more points? (190 miles to the dollar) Is this legal?
I suppose you can do it over and over.
Doesn't sound ethical to me. Come to think of it, something like this MUST have been discussed in the past. I just can't find it.

WoooHooo! This is awesome!
LL Bean used to have a link from Goldpoints, and I made a ton of points double dipping(buying a gc first, then using it for a purchase). It's been gone for a while, but if they really are back, this will be a windfall!
