Bonus Mi w/gift cert
The Home Depot gift card via http://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/ for miles is surely old news on these forums.
What's new is that through May 14, 2006 they are giving 3 miles per dollar instead of the usual 2. And in bold print, the terms make sure you know that
Gift Cards ARE eligible to earn AAdvantage miles.
Amounts allowed range from $5 to $5000.

Home depot is the best thing they have added to the aa line of mile racking ideas. I just used Home Depot to reroof a rental house and used AA purchased gift cards to pay for the whole thing. I just wish they would add a grocery store now.

Not as protiable as the 21 miles per dollar I am earning by buying gift certs for various restaurants these days, but still nice...

I wish Target would follow Home Depot's example.
Linens 'n Things' terms on aadvantageshopping.com are silent regarding gift cards. Hmm, I wonder?
A lot of what I would buy in the grocery store is available from drugstore.com via www.aadvantageeshopping.com for competitive prices at 4 mi/$ (it was 8/$ last month). Order > $50, free shipping. We keep a list and place an order monthly. (Caution, if you put an item in your shopping cart and get a msg that your order is no longer eligible for free shipping, don't buy that item. The packaging tends to be inadequate and such items tend to arrive pretty much destroyed.)
Then there's the regional grocery chains that give greenpoints, which convert to AAdvantage miles at a rate roughly equivalent to 0.56179775280898876404494382022472 mi/$$

That reminds me of my mother collecting S&H Green Stamps at the supermarket when I was a kid.

Thanks to OP for the heads-up. I have a lot of work on the house that a GC will be perfect for.
