MilesBuzz! - Miles for referring people to the program...

Hiya -

Virgin has a great program where you get significant numbers of miles for referring friends to join and fly Virgin:

So... I've been looking around and can't seem to find any others. Am I right that Virgin is the only one?

There is another...E-Poll has a good
program which pays miles for answering
simple surveys. Miles, cash rewards, etc.

I would appreciate anyone interested
to follow this link below..

Thanks in advance,

MONACO00, I see no mention of miles being part of their rewards. In addition, I cannot help wondering whether the reason you would "appreciate anyone interested" following the link is due to your gaining benefit from such? Are you using this forum to solicit for referral bonuses? (& without disclosing such up front, to boot?)

Each of your 4 posts in this forum is nearly identical, w/ the following being 2 examples:

You're new to this board. Perhaps you haven't read the Guidelines & Rules:

From which the following is excerpted:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Duplicate Posts

Duplicate posts take two forms:

Identical posts placed on more than one discussion thread. [...] Good online manners dictate that you don't post the same message more than once. The online word for posting the same message in multiple locations is "spamming." We don't allow that.

MONACO00, what you're doing sure looks like spamming to me.

Sorry to have baited the spammer.... (epoll looks pretty annoying to me). but anyone know other AIRLINE programs that pay for referrals?

Epoll gives you the option to redeem for United miles (it's burried on their site, but it's there), from 100 miles for 2,500 points up to 800 miles for 19,000 points. Current members get 100 points for every referral they make into the program, there is an active thread in SPAM for a conga line to sign up. Each survey is worth 100 (at least the first ones), and I can get the same 100 miles by charging $10 at a diner down the street with idine, so it's not the best use of time to get miles.

Just visited the site and it looks like surveys are worth 100 points rather than 100 miles. So doing 25 surveys would give you 100 miles. Thus each survey would give you 4 miles.

Perhaps I'm missing something though since I've seen a number of messages touting epoll on FT and usually people don't jump on an opportunity to get 4 miles a shot, even for something so easy.

I can't determine if this thread belongs in the "S.P.A.M." board or not on FT at all. Yet, I do know it does not belong in "MilesBuzz". Rather than put myself through the mental stress of unraveling this conundrum I am taking the easy way out and closing this thread.
