A couple of clients of mine would love to take advantage of this feature in MailChimp

How much work would it be to utilize these APIs in UC?

Re: MailChimp E-Eommerce 360
From my perspective this wouldn't take a whole lot of work - first, we'd need to figure out what type of links you are talking about though so we can insert the cookie into the page. From there, it's just a matter of using the hook_order() function and using the save action to recall the cookie and send the data to MailChimp.
If you'd like, PM me and we can speak further about it.

This would be a cool plugin / addon for the Mailchimp Drupal module. We could use it too... perhaps we should collaborate on this?
Re: Re: Re: MailChimp E-Eommerce 360
Yeah, it would be great to also hook in Mailchimp on checkout (I think there's a code snippet floating around on UC.org for that, but nothing contributed).
This is for tracking the success of campaigns for those who are already signed up to the list, so it may or may not make sense as an extension of the MC Drupal module (of which I'm not really a fan of the UI).
In the end, a contributed UC Mailchimp module (or at least a collection) that allows for opt-in on checkout (which would tie into the module you referenced) and also does this tracking would make a lot of sense, but the simple tracking is the primary need at the moment.

we have a product that depletes or expires in 6 months.
we would like to send out reminder email in 6 months, based on order date.
would this work for us?
if so - willing to chip in to bounty

Right now it will track any users sent your site from a mailchimp link and send back any purchases they make to MC.
I am also working on giving it the ability to add a pane to the checkout also that allows for subscription to MC lists during the checkout process. Hopefully I will have that done by this weekend.
