Has anyone shopped for items at target.com, through MyPoints (or other similar point-earning portal), and received the points for orders that were actually being fulfilled by Amazon?

No shopping site offers points for Amazon directly - Amazon expressly forbids their affiliates from offering rewards or rebates on Amazon purchases. It's possible this also means that target.com orders fulfilled by Amazon will not qualify for rewards/rebates, though I can't be sure of that. There are sometimes ways to get around this, for example by using a shopping portal to buy "super certificates" (e.g. from SuperCertificate, GiftCertificates.com, or WebCertificate) which are exchangeable for Amazon certs, so you get points for buying the certificate rather than the merchandise directly (you're essentially "laundering" your purchase), but I don't have experience with such workarounds.
