Amazon.com Partners
I'm going to make a fairly large purchase with amazon and am looking for anyone they may partner with to get either some points or miles.
I THINK I saw a list or a link somewhere but a search didn't yield anything.
Any ideas?

Mary,
I can only think of the Amazon credit card - doesn't it give you some type of reward points? It has always been a sore point that Amazon doesn't partner with any of the usual sites.

Thanks!
We used to be able to get Mypoints by getting an Amazon gift certificate from mypoints.com, but that option doesn't seem to be available any longer.
Getting their credit card is just too much trouble for the points.

If you have a Citi Dividend card you can get 5% back by buying gift certificates via Citi's online shopping site. Earning via the online shopping site is unlimited (unlike the annual cap on earnings via just using the card).

You can get Amazon gift certificates at giftcertificates.com (I think there may still be a $10 supercertificate bonus for >$100). Many of the airline shopping portals give a low number of miles per dollar at giftcertificates.com.

Are you sure about that? I just looked on the site and didn't see Amazon listed. I was looking quickly and I could have missed it. I'll look again.
Which airlines offer miles for giftcertificates.com? I looked at CO, DL, UA & AA and didn't see a mention. Again, I could have missed it.
Thanks much!

The choices seem to be:
1) USAirways miles
2) buying amazon gift certificates from giftcertificates.com through one of the airline shopping portals

Edited to add: It seems like Amazon is no longer there with giftcertificates.com. Sorry I misunderstood.
