If you're purchasing from NWA, keep in mind that you get 3 miles/$ for purchasing gift certificates from giftcertificates.com, and through Dec 31, you get double miles for those purchases. Giftcertificates.com sells gift certificates to Sharper Image, so perhaps you could get 6+14=20 miles/$ this way?</font>
I have purchased at GiftCertificates.com through the NWA Mall and the math doesn't work that way. You get 3 miles/dollar from GC and NWA doubles it. So for a $500 Bose, you'd get 500 x 3 x 2 = 3,000 miles.

That's why the best way to purchase a Bose is at Sharper Image (7 miles/dollar) when NWA is doubling miles - a total of 14 miles/dollar.
