Great writeup and nice find on the 12% off coupon. I did a test purchase today and will definitely use the 12% coupon for my follow up order.
Alas, I must point out your sig is 110% wrong.
Here is a good site to compare cash back (I think the bigcrumbs amount includes referral percentages):
http://www.rewardsdb.com/cash-back/S...es-Points.html
Edit: I might play it save and do the referral click thru from Delta SkyMiles. I would also be sure to click on the offer link at SpaFinder before purchasing.
One lingering concern I have with doing a sizable purchase is the potential credit risk. Spafinder financials are not public and I can't find much information on them. Hopefully the gift certificates won't be worthless a year from now. Also, just in case anyone is planning to re-sell certificates on ebay, etc. beware the terms and conditions state this may not be allowed.

Agree with you on the credit risk. I plan to burn all within the year (various gifts, family use, donations, etc.)
The 110% guarantee is correct, as ShopAtHome provides a guarantee not that they have the highest percent cash back, but that they will beat any higher one by 10% (yielding 110%).

But will they refund 110% of your skymiles if the referral invalidates them, grin.
On a $2500 purchase the cash back would be $125. If anything I'd think you'd lose the referral and get the miles. I just can't bring myself to risk losing 100K miles over $125, but maybe greed will get the best of me, lol.

Great info to add friends!
Don't forget, if you have a health care FSA, massage therapy is an expense that can be reimbursed IF YOU HAVE A DOCTORS NOTE (PRESCRIPTION) ! ! !

Btw, Chix, thanks for your role as OP and alerting us all to this great deal!
I agree, and I've skipped step two (cash back) out of prudence, following your line of reasoning. However, because the system prompts for your SkyMiles input regardless of how you initiated the session, and because there are a couple reports of customer service claiming that you will get the miles regardless, I think the odds are decent that it would be okay. All depends how risk averse you are!

Interesting thoughts on the volatility of any company. They have been around for a few years but either way, it would behoove us all to burn through these ASAP. I'm sure eBay will be flooded (thanks in part to some of us FTers) so I'll be gifting a lot of mine to f&f.

I am following the above link and it takes me to a page stating that Delta Skymiles members earn 10 miles per dollar through May. Then I went to SkymilesShopping.com and the Spafinder link there only gives 2 miles per dollar. I might go for it if I did get the 40 miles per dollar.

DAMN!!! You snooze you lose. Only bought in for ~30K miles yesterday. Kicking myself for waiting to pull the bigger trigger.
If you purchased yesterday I wouldn't sweat it. Mine didn't complete until this morning (after they called to wake me up at 6 AM to verify the purchase). They are probably just backlogged.

Well, they just lost my $1,000 order. Oh, well, this is a big waste of money considering that I already have more than 1 MM Skymiles.
