My guess is you'll need to wait 4-6 weeks for miles to show up.

Does it say anywhere How long it takes before we Get our points?

False advertising if we don't Get it!

UA/US/AA all worked for me.

Sometimes the bonus miles show up late (a few months in some cases)

50-50 chance

This is run by CATERA so they will intentionally forget to give you points in the hopes you will forget to complain, then if you do complain they have such horrible customer service it will take multiple tries and still is only a 50-50 chance you will ever see points earned through them

I downloaded it and will give it a go.
The default search seems to be Yahoo, can anyone tell me how to change that so I get Google results? I'm on a Mac.

I waited 10 weeks. Emailed a copy of my confirmation to Cartera using the missing miles request form on the MP shop mall page. Got a response back within 3 days saying they would manually post to my account within 2 weeks.

My experience with these kind of offers is that you never end up getting the miles without a huge hassle.
