Notice it doesn't say 83871 miles per dollar, or miles per item. If they were to honor it, they could interpret it as 83871 miles per order, in which case buying 3 on the same order wouldn't get you any more miles than one. For that reason, I'm placing several orders, and seeing how it all plays out...

Couldn't we ask Verizon to refund our money based on their own T&C's if we don't get the mileage post:

Unfortunately, on occasion typographical errors, inaccuracies, and omissions may occur. In the event that a listed price is incorrect, due to a typographical error, inaccuracy, or omission, Verizon Wireless reserves the right to refuse or cancel the order you placed, even if the order has already been confirmed and your credit card has been charged. If your credit card has been charged, Verizon Wireless will refund your credit card for the charged amount. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Granted, it is for the "price", but we can make a claim we only agreed to the "price" due to the miles that were coming with it.

Don't need to see the product details before ordering
Only later did I look at the Product Details page with the 13 miles.

But you can click through without ever seeing that information. I simply clicked through the promised web portal advertising the lump sum miles.

What you value, what AMEX values, what Verizon values and what AA values that many miles worth probably may all differ from your $2000 estimate. Do I think the cost of awarding the miles is more than selling the headset - YES. But then again, airlines have probably sold seats at or below cost in certain situations - could Verizon or AA choose to do the same for say a retail product on closeout/clearance?
