Has somebody charged the purchase of Savings Bonds with the Amexco SkyMiles Credit Card in order to get 2 SkyMiles for 1 dollar?
Or is the purchase of Savings Bonds exempt of the 1 $ to 2 Miles exchange?

I don't think so from what I just read
on a credit card info website:

Two (2) miles for every dollar ($1) spent at stand-alone grocery stores, gas stations, drugstores, Delta Airlines, home improvement stores, the U.S. Postal Service, or when used to pay a wireless phone bill.
Read Terms and Conditions for more details.

So unless a lot of your purchases fall into those categories, most of your miles will be one for each dollar. A nice thought, though, if they'll ever let you do that.
