There are quite a few things.. I did a few rough calculations and assuming that we'd sell the item for atleast $10 less than what it's being sold for on Amazon,we'd basically be losing/paying about $175 for 20,000 miles. That's roughly 1/4th the cost of buying the miles from Delta ($700 for 20k).

I'm looking for items that are popular and thus sell fast...and preferably the more expensive, the better.

If someone has any good ideas, please let us know.

The law of supply and demand is not your friend here. Don't post until you've sold these items. Posting what you're going to sell here could flood the market with copycat sellers. You'll go from $175 per 20k to $375 per 20k.

or that. :D

^^

You could donate items to animal shelters and get the deduction on ur taxes for the purchase price. There are several that need supplies and some are running out of food completely.

Is there a qualified list of those shelters in more desperate need for various areas of the US? This is actually something I wouldnt mind doing.

Thanks for posting, ordered a bunch of cat food (prices competitive) that I'd have to buy anyway. Would love to find a good deal for resale but looks tough...

Got in on this.
Getting a fairly expensive transborder ticket for $300 isn't bad.
(selling what I got at 45% loss)

Any idea yet on when this ends? I'm in for about $1500.

Nope.

Retailmenot has a deal for existing customers. Don't know what the definition of "existing customers" is, though.

do you mean a coupon code to use with this? If so be very careful. I read a post from someone about adding a coupon on a previous deal and they got no miles. My understanding is that if any other discount is applied you will not receive the miles.

If you mean something else please elaborate.

Indeed, a coupon code. There are some merchants that do allow you to use the CC, others that don't. I don't know which one PCRX is.

I don't know if there is a list anywhere. You can do a google search for a shelter in your area or nationwide and have food/supplies shipped directly there. If you want the tax deduction, just check that they are a 501c3 organization.

Here is a link to the Amazon wishlist for Sampson County Animal Shelter (I have no affiliation with them) http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishl..._XqK7pb1Q22B3K. You can see the types of things they need and see if you can buy these same types of things for miles. I don't think they qualify for a tax deduction, but they are making great strides to improve their facility after getting a new director.

This is a link for a new rescue in my area that takes in a lot of animals that could use some help. http://www.nokillelpaso.org/index.html

SPCA needs dog food. http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pb.../1021/LIVING02

You could also contact the ASPCA or your local Humane Society.

I have no affiliation with any of these but I follow them, so I know donations would be appreciated.

I bought two 17lb bags of Purina One cat food that I buy here at Petsmart. They were a couple of dollars more than what I pay, but no tax, and free shipping.

So I got 2200 Delta points for that. Not too shabby.

place what you want to buy in your cart, and at the end when you go through check out just go to STEP 3: Payment Information, then RIGHT UNDER THAT is something (in Green) that says Promotions & Discounts (optional). Toggle that, and you will see this:

Delta Airlines SkyMiles Members

Attention delta Skymiles Members. Enter your SkyMiles account number below and earn XXXXX miles from this order!

(It will tell you exactly what number of miles you will get).


And don't bother going through a portal to get to this, you only get one discount.


I called and talked to customer service. The points don't get credited until 20 days after the items have been shipped.

Also, they have been doing this promotion for quite a while, so this isn't something new.

Shipping is free, it seems.
