Anyone had this "problem"
I enter a search, get credit for it, wait 4 seconds, click the searcg button again (with the same search term), and get credit again.
Spend 20 minutes and you are done for the month.
Now it hasn't worked for me every month, but it did for March and Jan.

Well, I logged into my AA account around March 23/24, and my January miles were accredited (backdated to Feb. 3). I'm not sure the exact date they showed up in my account, but I check it probably every 2/3 days (sometimes more frequently, if I'm looking for something), so basically it took about 7 weeks to show up in my account. At least they're there. Hopefully the rest will show up on this schedule. 100 miles a month isn't much, but it's something. tls

Just checking in with everyone here,...has anyone received their 100 miles lately?
For the past year, the search miles would show as "Pending" on the AA Shopping Account page, and then the miles get posted to your AA account, about a month later. But right now, I do not show any pending miles on my AA shopping page, and nothing has posted to my AA account since February 3, 2011.
So, has anyone had miles posted in either March or April?
Thanks.

I uninstalled the toolbar last year. Never got many miles from it, and after I uninstalled it, they took back the small amount of miles for searches and such for the preceding few months. It was quite annoying in the short and long run, so I'm glad to be rid of it.

You bet, Jack. I appreciate all your comments and help on these threads too. ^ Good luck/
Looking at Jamito's note above, about them taking back miles after uninstalling the toolbar, I guess that if anyone stops being willing to use these toolbars you should probably at least let the pending miles post before uninstalling. And now maybe I'd give it a while longer too.
(You can always just hide the toolbar so it doesn't take up room on the screen, which is how I manage with 3 of them anyway - I keep just one at a time available. and they are not big programs).
Jamito, were those miles they took back still pending, or had they posted on your account?

The miles for my January searches posted during the 3rd week of March (with a date of Feb. 3), and then the miles for my February searches posted during the 3rd week of April with the date of March 10. Both these posted with a description of "AAdvantage Eshoppi Yahoo! Search".
But so far the miles for my March searches have not yet posted, unless they've changed the description. Thx tls

Who did you contact, and how did it go?

Sorry, been too busy to contact anyone yet. But I have not received any Yahoo search miles since March, which was the Feb miles. Nothing even pending on my AA Shopping Account page.
Every month since Feb until present, I had completed all 300 searches, worth 100 miles. Feb and before,...as I wasn't online very much,...I had less than 300 searches, giving me 90+ miles each month.
So,...my history,...when I did less than 300 searches per month, I received my miles,...when I maxed out the 300, I got nothing. Coincidence?

It may be a coincidence. The miles that posted to my account in March and April (for January and February searches) were both 100.
I'm wondering if we contact AA, or the company that designed the toolbar? tls

Well, there is a contact form on eShopping's web site, which I used a week ago and again yesterday, and have received no response (not even an acknowledgment that they received my email). Frustrating. tls

Also, according to this post, AA eShopping toolbar seems to be posting to AA.com under a weird name like "AA ESHOPPING MELISSA AND DOUG" for this month.
Who is this "Melissa and Doug" I wonder. The programmers of the toolbar?

Apparently 300 searches yield 1 AAdvantage mile instead of the 100 miles the toolbar claimed I would earn in both April and May for using it for searches.
