That's strange since Amazon's Associate Agreement specifically prohibits sites from offering rewards for using their Amazon link. To wit:
I suspect that those "participating" sites (not counting RewardsDB itself, since it offers no reward) are all in violation of their Associates agreement.

Heres another relevant section from the Amazon.com (US) associate site:
"Associates may donate their earnings to a charity, but may not announce to their visitors in any way that a portion or all of the proceeds will go to a particular charity."

There are options
If you look at Andrews site, Trolley Cash from the UK will give a 2% cash back for Amazon and in reading the fine print is good for anyone worldwide. Maybe a conga opp.
Also for Ebay mentioned above, Bondrewards gives in savings bonds 39% of the sellers fees. I have cashed out $150 in savings bonds in a year from them.
I never buy anything without checking rewardsdb and Pgarys site.
Miles, points and FT Rocks!

I spend quite a bit at Amazon and have yet to find a really decent mileage/rebate opportunity. But I'll gladly take the 20-30% savings (on average) for most products plus free shipping plus no sales tax or VAT (which runs 8.5% here) in lieu of a few depreciating miles.

If it's books you're after, I find that often buy.com beats Amazon by a few cents or better. Unlike Amazon, buy.com is available through many points- or miles-earning portals. Sometimes, even other items are cheaper through buy.com.

Amazon does actually partner with some rewards programs, just not any of the limited number listed on that site - you can see a far more comprehensive list of rewards program offerings via RewardsDB which includes many more rewards programs (and indirect mileage earning opportunities) including non-US programs. You can see the listing for Amazon at http://rewardsdb.com/product/Amazon.html
