I went through the dropdown link to get to the shopping mall, and the tab reads "Dividend Miles Shopping Mall." The web address, however, is http://usairways.skymall.com/
Is this going to post as a Sky Mall hit, or is that just the facilitator?

Made my donation to Petsmart.
One note: After entering through the US site and entering my DM#, I saw no further references to earning miles. Does that sound right?

I remember distinctly the rock (and the disappointment) I got last year from my SkyMall Petsmart donation during the 2010 GS . The non-posting from this donation might even have kept me from passing a valuable threshold bonus. I recommend against counting on this partner transaction during GS 2011!

Some troublesome language from the Shopping Mall T&C that may explain why some Amazon purchases aren't posting:
I have now had Amazon claim that this covers Amazon Marketplace purchases, i.e., purchases through Amazon of items actually sold by one of their partner merchants.
Now, in fact I received US miles in August for just such a third-party Marketplace purchase, so this isn't a cut and dried issue. Still, I suspect this explains why some of us are still waiting on miles that may never post.
Miles will not be awarded for any purchases made through a third party retailer or other merchant that may be linked to a participating Merchant's website.

While I haven't seen the miles post yet, it seems pretty clear that DM Shopping Mall intends to provide 6 miles for the donation, which should result in a hit.

If you search for PetSmart Charities in the DM Shopping Mall, the results page will display the following along with a link:
