I don't recall seeing this before, but it's on the RR shopping page now. Half a point per dollar is very low, but you can use this to keep alive those mini-accounts for your family members.

Thanks for the info. Every little bit helps and I never would have thought to look for Ebay as a partner.
I hope this was a recent addition to the shopping portal because if it isn't, I've lost a lot of points.....

Like eBay GCs purchased at Kroger during 4x fuel points offer. I always have a stack of those, Amazon, Home Depot, iTunes, Target, etc. cards.
Even if there is no Kroger around you, get them on vacation if the timing works. I know a guy who pays $6 per 1000 (~4% on top of whatever your CC gets you) and will buy virtual unlimited quantities by Paypal.

I only noticed it for the first time yesterday, so I'm pretty sure it's a very recent development.

It's 3 points per dollar today. The portal operates on Eastern Time, so if this ends today it will do so at midnight Eastern Time. A morning email indicates that this rate will persist through September 27.
