Skymall / Corkscrew
Thanks, I will update the "shopping list" in the first post to reflect that the corkscrew is cheaper than the mirror at SkyMall.
If you find any other bargains, please post them and I will update the first post accordingly.

The current wording on the US page implies that both FTD and Florist.com count as the same partner, so you might want to take one of them off the list or make some notation of that.
For anyone near a Thrifty Airport Parking, this might be a good deal, particularly at SAT. I havent looked into the details too much but it looks like $1.50 (1 hr parking) * 3 = 250 miles, or $4.50 for a hit. Too bad I'm not near SAT

Netflix:
Think I will have any problems if I want my netflix discs mailed to my work address instead of my house when I signup?

You shouldn't. While my experience on that is from several years ago, I had no trouble with delivery to work address while my house was the billing address. I now have them mailed to home so can't say if they've changed the rules or not.

Is/Will there be a way to track your hits? I don't see anything when I log on to my US Airways account.

Worked for me with UA about 4 months ago. We had Netflix for a few years, canceled the account, opened up a new account in Mrs. Aces' name with the shipping address as Mrs. Aces' office (billing address was our home). Miles posted a couple of weeks later, then went online and changed the shipping address back to the house.

US is supposed to track them automatically once you register. Note that the bonus miles are awarded only for specific numbers of hits (4 hits = 4,000 mile bonus, 8 hits = another 4,000 mile bonus, but 6 hits doesn't get you a total of 6,000 miles bonus) and the automatic updating will occur every other week until 2/28/2011.
Having said all that, I'd probably want to keep my own record of hits to verify the automatic updates.

Any reason not to order a $50 item along with the pens (or a similarly cheap item) from OfficeMax to get free shipping and then return the $50 item to the store? Or would the partial return invalidate the hit?

You can usually get good coupons for OM too, even online, anyone know if there are any issues with using these in combination with the miles?

Florist.com / FTD
Great idea for the list, thanks Burghs.
The current wording on the US page implies that both FTD and Florist.com count as the same partner, so you might want to take one of them off the list or make some notation of that.

They counted as one last year. From the language this year, it looks like they'll count as one again.
