They have botched up most of their promos in terms of posting miles. I had this problem with the UA mall (where buying HD GCs does work but I know of no promos right now) but have never had a problem with the AAdvantage mall (buying HD GCs no longer works for miles there though)
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but when I registered for the WP Mom's, Dad's and Grad's Promo, the T&C's specifically say "Purchases of merchant gift certificates will not qualify for this promotion except Giftcertificates.com and Home Depot."

I agree that NW WP Mall botches a very high percentage of miles postings, but they should count Home Depot gift certificate purchases for purposes of this promo.
