To get the 2-mile-per-dollar credit, you must first empty your Amazon cart (if necessary), link through to Amazon from HawaiianAirMiles shopping portal, and then place items in your basket directly from that link and complete your purchase.
(FYI: I do a lot of internet shopping and use quite a few different shopping rebate sites. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with a merchant refusing to issue credit for a purchase simply because the items were not added into my shopping basket after I navigate through the rebate site.)
I personally do lots of cash back shopping online. And with Hawaiian Shopping I've only received 229 miles from over $2K worth of amazon spending (multiple transactions.
Since then I switched to US Airways and so far received 1250 miles
Don't think I'll bother trying to chase up on my missing miles. I'll just use it on US Air albeit with half the miles
