AAdvantage Shopping Mall

Newbie here, not sure if this is the right forum so forgive me if it is misplaced.

The restaurants.com offer seems pretty lucrative, 18 miles per dollar spent. I was wondering if it is possible to recycle this using gift cards and get more out of it. Here is what I am thinking, I'm wondering if anyone has any insight.

1. Buy $100 gift cards for $40 (netting 720 miles)
2. Use $100 gift card to buy 2 $50 cards (netting 1800 miles?)
3. Use 2 $50 cards to buy 4 $25 cards (netting 1800 miles?)

So you'd 4320 miles from $40, about ~1cpm, plus 4 $25 gift cards. Does anyone know if this would work?
