15 AA miles @ $1 at Skymall ?

  • If anyone has checked this out, I don't see any exclusion on the 15 miles per $1 for the gift cards for JC Penn-ey (my favorite french tailor) or the others for that matter like Marriott. The only downside I see is the shipping rates. Any codes out there for free shipping?

    Also remember that AA Miles are worth 2 Hilton Points

  • What a weird assortment of merchants Skymall has! Perhaps that is why they offer a generous 15 miles / $.


  • Could you please elaborate on this. I only see 3 miles per dollar spent. I need to earn 30 miles-this seems like a good deal. Thanks


  • What's not clear (at least to me) is whether one can get the miles from approaching this as a two-step process.

    Step 1: Purchase a non-vendor specific Skymall gift certificate (these are also available from the site)
    Step 2: Pay shipping and receive the gift certificate in the mail, then cash in the gift certificate for a vendor specific gift certificate (i.e. JC Penney or Sharper Image).

    It doesn't seem to be specifically addressed, nor excluded from the T&C. On the off-chance this does work, there's always the possibility of miles-on-miles (i.e. rolling back through the aadvantageshopping mall click-thru, and applying the gift certificate at the appropriate vendor site - JC Penney seems to support this).

    Thoughts?

  • Is it letting you buy these? I was looking at buying a pile of Dave & Busters cards, but all the gift cards say "ITEM NOT AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE ORDERING. CALL SKYMALL AT 1-800-759-6255" when I try to order any of them. That said, were you looking at trying to buy a Skymall gift certificate online, and then cashing this in for a gift certificate from JC Penny or one of the other vendors?


  • I don't think that you are going to be able to get the 15 points per $ spent on Gift Certs. Why?

    Well, it states:

    Miles will only be credited on orders placed at www.skymall.com/aa15miles3
    see: http://www.skymall.com/webapp/skystore?process=promotions&action=view&partner=N26

    And, on the Gift Cert screen for JCPenny, it says:
    "ITEM NOT AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE ORDERING:
    see: http://www.skymall.com/webapp/skystore?process=prodDisplay&action=&pid=69676409&catId=13001

    (The same is true for Marriot and Sharper Image and others).

    Summary: To get the 15 points per dollar, you need to shop online through that link above, and since gift certs do not allow on-line purchases, you are out of luck.
