It's actually been at 40 for a while. Plus, if you purchase gift cards first and use them through the mall the second time, you can get 60 pts per dollar! (for some reason gift cards give half the points) I did this back in January for $35, got the gift card then used that for the magazines, and got 2100pts.

It seems like most people are saying that using magazine.com gift cards to double dip doesn't get you points anymore, but can I just buy magazine.com gift cards and get the 40x still?

This would be the same price as buying them - and you end up with $25 to spend on magazines! Let us know if it works.

Value Mags dropped off AA eshopping but has a 'no auto renewals' policy.
I refuse to get involved with Magazines.com with their policy.
Too much work to try to cancel the renewals.

Hadn't thought about it before, but using a gift card, even if it doesn't get you extra points, should avoid the auto-renewal problem, correct? I mean, they don't have credit card info to charge, so they can't auto-renew it.

The UR bonus is now 30 per dollar. The conditions say "Not eligible on the purchase of books." They also sell DVDs and CDs as well as calendars and fragrences. Does anyone have experience getting credited with those?
