This is a pretty good deal if there's something out there you actually need.
Figure something listing for $500 on Skymall probably has a FMV of maybe $300-350. Would you buy Skymiles for a little under a penny apiece?
Is the Amex price-matching feature really that easy? It seems like every single item that Skymall sells would be subject to a massive after-sale discount.
Is there any gift card (or similar) angle available?
