Another program that pales in comparison to MilesMall and ClickRewards (and no, I don't work for either of them). As far as I can see:
1. No points available for surfing/clicking ads (a la MyPoints), only for purchases.
2. Miles are not transferrable to airline programs; they must accumulate in webmiles program.
3. Award tickets are at least as costly, and in some cases, more costly than comparable awards thru the airline programs.
4. Somewhat limited number of retail partners

In sum, no real benefits here. I get more miles thru ClickRewards or MilesMall (2 miles/dollar) and have a larger selection of merchants. And the miles can be combined with my existing miles. Unless you can spend big $$$ with the WebMiles specific partners they have, you will not be racking up free travel anytime soon.
