I know that people have made posts about slow downs and changes at Freeride recently. The company claims that the problems are related to too many members etc. I have been accumulating points for a little while now and I enjoy the service (I was saving up for a $50 Marriott gift certificate).

After visiting tonight, I am really confused as to what is going on with the site since all of the destination point opportunities are gone. I am not sure if this a permanent change or just a temporary one, but the appeal of this site was in the ability to accumulate points quickly and easily without having to buy anything. If this feature is gone then this site is far second to MyPoints, even with all of their problems.

Does anyone know if these changes are permanent or if these are just bumps in the road to quicker expansion?
