Earn AAdvantage or SkyMiles just for being connected to the net.

After spending 10 hours searching the web for more ways to earn miles for free I found a great one. Its this tiny program that sits on your screen and displays ads. For every second that you are on-line, the counter ticks up earning you more miles. You can earn up to 35,000 miles a year doing this. The only drawback is that the ads must be on top of your screen in order for the counter to move up, but its really not that bad, since its so small (only 1 inch by 2 inches). I just leave it on all day and when I sleep and let it earn me miles. Thought you all might be interested too, so here's the link where I found it:

hope you all find it as good as I did.

If you send MileNet to a friend and your friend installs and uses it, your counter
increment speed will double. When two of your friends start using MileNet, your counter speed triples. When three of your friends start using MileNet, your counter speed quadruples. Get the idea?

Something in Egypt is named after this. Hmmm, lets see, could it be a Pyramid?

Other than their first "We're sorry we suck" 100 point bonus, and a couple of bonuses for signing up friends (which I don't think they do any more) I've earned a whopping 3.00000000064721 miles with Milenet in the last four months - that's when it actually is able to connect to it's server.

Don't waste the time.

I posted about this scheme in here for the first time several months ago, and it does suck. I got 100 "we're sorry we suck miles" as Dave said plus 125 miles for signing up people, but since then I haven't even been able to connect to the server.

This is a no go, especially now that they don't give the 25 points for referrals anymore!

On the plus side, I have gotten the 225 miles in my Delta account!

I have NEVER been able to connect successfully to this thing! I've used three different accounts on three different networks and it's been a no go - the service (if you can call it that) clearly has problems. I'm not wasting another minute with it.

I have to give this one TWO BIG THUMBS DOWN.

I participated when they offered referral mileage bonuses and managed to accumulate 475 miles. The day they eliminated the referral bonuses, I deleted their software from my computer. Besides, I couldn't use it on my Mac at home!

I still haven't received the miles I cashed in....

Hey guys,
I agree the server its on isn't reliable, the program has a few problems, but I've referred a ton of people and my counter really screams. I'm over 9000 miles. Here's the picture of MileNet from my page I took the other day. http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Lagoon/9305/milenet.jpg
Looks like I'm on target to max out on 35,000 for the year. As I said, the key is referrals. Sorry boys.

Flyfree ~ I hate to be a naysayer, but if you've referred so many people, how come your tree is not bigger?

Also, how come you don't show up in the "tree top" listings?

TWO THUMBS DOWN from Mileage Addict...

And EIGHT BIG PAWS DOWN and a big hair ball from the CATS.

Everytime I tried to move to another site the stupid window disappeared and I earned a total of 1.0000000001 miles. OH BOY!! I'm just 24,999 miles away from a free ticket.

This is a good idea, but it needs a much better softwear program!!! CATMAN

Catman, it's just like the nose thing, I've told you many times that softwear is really s-o-f-t-w-a-r-e. Softwear is something like Cashmere.
