Yeah 10% is high. Some giftcards it's only 4 or 5 bucks, but it my case if I pay with an AMEX then I earn MR points in addition to any miles so it's usually a better deal for me.

Might want to check out points.com, not sure if Amazon is a partner with them...or think of another store perhaps ebay where you can buy giftcards for Amazon and earn miles. I know on points.com you can get 1mile per 2 dollars spent for ebay.
