Found it. It's out on the main lifemiles.com site - not (yet?) on shop.lifemiles.com.
As with other incremental changes to the program, this is good. It's an implicit admission that the earlier terms were accurate, but that they decided to tighten them up.
Granted, we could see a lot of problems, but they'd be hard-pressed to argue that their original terms didn't mean what we all took them to mean, now that they've changed the meaning to exclude what we were all doing.
Keep your screenshots!

What makes you think that those of us who got in early will still get the bonus for 250 miles for each purchase? I know they were slow to shut it down and moved incrementally, but why does that mean they won't just retroactively apply the changes?
I really hope you're right. I was just curious about your reasoning.

Wow - for some reason, I can only get the old language. Here's what I see:
That's from this page:

Is there another page I'm missing?

Now, if they tried to make the argument that they were just clarifying, that's a different story. But with all of the screenshots we all have, I think we can shoot that down.

Right - but they still haven't gotten in touch with the webmaster at the www page yet:

They must be seriously scrambling over there.

I received 14 boxes of various, low cost drugstore.com products today, but had 14 orders cancelled by shop runner for "reselling" or Amex who alerted me to my unusual ordering after blocking the orders. I need these toiletries anyway, so I don't feel I am out money. The pet donations go to my charity line item. It is okay.
Of course, i do hope they honor these orders which i made on Saturday!
