I disagree with your rather overgeneral and completely vague statement.

I've found that accumulation is VERY SLOW with e-miles (except at the very beginning with your signup bonus), while e-rewards has been more generous. YMMV, obviously. (Both are run by the same company.)

Also, e-miles only allows you to accumulate in ONE FF program (with serious limits on switching). E-rewards (depending on your particular type of membership) may allow redemption in various FF programs (as well as other types of rewards). That's a BIG disadvantage for e-miles.

For those who want to know more about e-miles, I suggest you do your homework first: read about it on www.e-miles.com .
