You can get the points with any card that you use as long as you go through the link on AA shopping. I purchased items from overstock with a capital one card and got the stated 3 miles per $ spent, and I didn't even have that one registered on AA shopping.

My point was that if a potential error exists for a few minutes then it would be easier to argue that it was one instead of the case where it is there for several hours or longer.
If you go into product details it says 13 miles. It's not just for this. Everything sold by Verizon in eshopping is showing the same miles. I am thinking at best they will refund $59.99.

That is for earning points by shopping at retail brick and mortar stores. Just clicking thru the link while logged is all that is needed for online buying.

I clicked on the buy now link and never saw any sort of Product Details page. Do they force you to read through the product details page on every purchase?

If this works out I have had quite the productive day, mileage wise that is!
Funny me too. If I had the 10 cards I got this AM I could do 10 orders and wow...

A rather exciting find and they look like they might make nice Christmas gifts as someone already noted. They'll be under my tree.

Thanks OP and to the poster who suggested Amex, it's nice to know one can be protected...^

Took a chance with 3 for $134.98, with free shipping, and since I'm in NH, no tax. Used my Amex as others did, although never used the return benefit so I'll need to look into that if this doesn't work out.

I figured the reward justifies the risk. So I just made a purchase. But, in my AAdvantage Shopping Account, I don't see any transactions listed. I've never used AAdvantage Shopping before... should something be listed here?

3-6 weeks is what I see usually. It really varies quite heavily.


For those of you using Amex due to return policy... is it a Gold/Silver/Green card, or any Amex (i.e. Starwood) that works?

Mine just went to "shipped" status btw.

I also took video in case someone says it was photoshopped in the capture I took.
