Ordered one. Hubby's birthday upcoming, so, tah-dah. I took Screen Shots of every page/link along the way as I fully expect to have to argue with AA. And, if I have to argue with Verizon as regards the restock fee, I'm prepared for that as well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not counting on this being smooth sailing.

I'm pretty skeptical about this one, and the chances that you have to fight for a full refund without paying return shipping or restocking seem greater than the chances you'll get the miles.
For $60, I didn't think it was worth the effort and likely hassles. For $5, I figured I'd take a shot. Even if it's 100 to 1 that they honor it, for 83K miles, that's a good risk/reward.

Not saying this will pan out for sure. But don't we all remember how expedia canada credit $200 or $300 (whatever it was) to each of our credit cards just like they said they would. We all went charge happy, I think I booked some 7-8 trips. They could have easily "not credited" the amount they said they would. But they did. Not everything has a happy ending. But this is FT, we do silly things which is why we come out ahead "in aggregate".

Attention mileage whores -- if you purchase "MOTOROKR S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones" from aadvantageeshopping.com for $59.99 from Verizon Wireless (yes, about $20 over-price), you will get 83,871 American Airline miles ($0.00072 per mile plus a free headset to resell!) normally (at $0.03 per air mile, the retail cost of 83,871 miles would be $2,516.13!!)
Be sure to save screen shots your transaction(s) if AA Shopping baulks at buying 100 pair of these!
DIRECT LINK: https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/...=MOTOROKR+S305
It should be the 4th item in the list. Look closely!
For those that can't print the screen with this offer, I have uploaded it as a PDF here: http://chazhome.com/images/AAMiles.pdf
Smart move to purchase with AMEX to get buyer assurance.
Thank for all the comments!!
