Barnes and Noble and Miles
I often buy books from bn.com. I tried reaching their site tonight through mileageplusshopping.com (to earn United miles); however, they were not coming up. Did the same then through skymilesshopping.com (Delta) and the AAdvantage eshopping website; again, Barnes and Noble was not coming up. Also tried Upromise; did not come up.
Did Barnes and Noble drop their agreement with Cartera and the other mileage mall companies?

They're not on UR either. I was pretty disappointed. I have shifted my business elsewhere, and sent them an e-mail to that effect.
I've seen them come and go - but back in June they were at 10x on UR then suddenly gone. Hopefully they come back.

B&N purchases via Chase Ultimate Rewards Mall -- in June there was a 10 pt/$ promo during which I purchased about $10,000 in books for our school. That's nearly 100k miles for UA, KE, etc. I believe w/out promo it's about 3 to 5 pts/$.

Wow.
What a disappointment!
It appears that Barnes and Noble still gives MyPoints, but it's now only 1 MyPoint per dollar spent!
MyPoints sometimes offered 10 MyPoints per dollar spent.
Keep in mind you can exchange 5,200 MyPoints for 2,500 United MileagePlus miles.
If you're not a member of MyPoints feel free to PM, and if you sign up for MyPoints via my referral you can earn 750 MyPoints after you spend $20, plus points for your purchases.
