(3,000 - 500)/500 = 500% more points, not 600%. I would also add a "smart caveman" would only redeem enough points to get a partner credit and save the rest of the AS miles for other promos like this (like the ones US and DL have run in recent years where Points.com transfers counted as credits).
BETTER PCR Shopping Purchase
I like to give credit when I can for ideas and posts others came up with first, this idea came from this thread on the NWA board, though it's not clear who came up with this first, but I know it works from personal experience.
If you go to Gaiam and search for "charity" the option to donate $1.00 to plant a tree comes up. There may be slightly cheaper options from B&N for Ebooks or some other options, but in this case at least the money isn't going to waste (unless you actually listen to that Ebook you purchase).

It must have worked, because on the PC Rewards Shopping web now this transaction appears as a pending award of 6 PC points... with an order date of 10/27/2009.
My previous restaurant.com is dated 10/09/2009. I guess that these must be the dates when the points will post.

Avon has plenty of lip balms available for 99 cents or less. If you know an Avon rep you can get a free shipping code. I am not, but if you don't know anyone, I can refer you to my sister in law. PM me.
You access the Avon website through her link, place your order with the free shipping code, but do not check out. Just leave the item in your shopping cart.
You then access the Avon website again through the PCR Shopping link and complete the purchase.

How do you know if the Restaurant.com or Avon orders are tracking? I placed a restaurant.com order on 8/26 and Avon order about a week ago. When I look at the search under customer service on PC Shopping, it doesn't find either one. Where are you guys seeing transactions "tracking"? I'm not new to PC by any means, but have never used PC shopping.
And one note-- I do know that only one of these will count.
TIA!

I don't think it's hit or miss. It can take 30 days for a purchase from any merchant to show up as "pending," then another 30 to actually get the points. The fact that some merchants post quickly doesn't mean the others won't.

From the qualifying purchases section of PCR Shopping T&C, "Not use coupons or discount codes posted on other web sites in an attempt to gain additional discounts at participating merchants"
Gaiam and Avon have been more reliable than restaurant.com from a tracking angle. Big thanks to Beckles for the tip on $1 donation through Gaiam. ^
