It seems to be working. When you follow the link from US Airways the landing page requests you DM number. The number is then visible on every page after that.

works great, thanks for the people to make it happen.
You have to put your DM# directly after the link from the US AIRWAYS OFFICEMAX and then it appiers above in the Officemax Windows.
At checkout you will find US AIRWAYS MILES earned - then you will be safe.
And for all NON-US CC orders: You have to call CS at 1-800-283-7674 to manualy release the orders !!! (did it 3x now with success)

once you have inputted your DM#, look towards the bottom of OMs home page and click on the Sharpie Markers, the middle on top is for 4 markers for $6.29 a $2 savings then during checkout put in SAVEATHON (I think it must be caps) and it takes 20% off so its $5.03 1 marker was $2.99 + shipping and tx

It's working. Just ordered last night. Make sure you click the link on the US Airways site and don't just go to Office Max to order or it won't work.

Thanks to all who kept on OM's and US's tushies to get this working. I'm going to enjoy my new calculator (I needed one anyway.).

I noticed this with skymall too.
I think the state taxing authorities (at least in some states including mine) must take the position that if you charge a shipping cost that is in excess of your actual shipping costs, you have to treat the extra as income subject to tax.
I think that's probably a sound rule. None of these places is charging their true flat-rate shipping cost, but instead use the minimum shipping amount as a profit center. It's sort of like those infomercials that charge a small amount for crappy products but tack on $10 for shipping and handling. I guess they are not allowed to avoid taxation when they do that.
