uh oh. are all you smart cookies just playing dumb for a change? what the heck! anyone take a good close look at this website before deciding to turn over your personal info and credit card details?

Clue 1: The little truste logo at the bottom of their front page is not a link to an official trust-e privacy statement. It is simply a fake logo that they copied and pasted on their server at http://www.milesbar.com/log_truste_seal.gif.
Displaying that image in this manner is a practice explicitly prohibited by trust-e, because it is essentially lieing to people that trust-e has approved this site's privacy policy.

Clue 2: Any credible site would employ professional proof readers or designers who wouldn't use sentances like:

"How much space does the MilesBar software takes"

"How does the referral program works for MB Elite Gold?"

(look under their FAQ section). heck, even the privacy policy has bad grammar, which you can easily catch. looks pretty amatuer.

Clue 3:
when you sign up and choose the $12 option, you're led to a different website that wants to accept your credit card information. Wouldn't a credible website that wants to accept your credit card information (god forbid) at least have their own payment processing or merchant account?

Clue 4:
The sign up page and all subsequent "member" pages operate in insecure mode, wheras the site's privacy policy LIES that their site uses 128 bit DSS encryption (yeah right..). Judging by the way their payment processing system works, they probably don't even have a SSL certificate...
sorry if this technical jargon is way above your heads but even then the overall unprofessional look and feel of this site should be fair enough warning to stay away!

Here's the website's "business plan":
Make tons of people sign up and click banner ads. Since no one will click banner ads, make up the costs of hosting the website through the $12 membership fees. In 6 months or so when people have earned enough points to redeem a free ticket, shut down the website and claim "insufficient funding". Disappear overnight with a small profit. Oh yeah, don't forget to sell that member list to the spammer who wants to pay the most for profiles that include phone numbers, mailing addresses and email addresses.

Gosh folks! I thought you guys would've learnt some lessons from the dotcoms going bust left and right. Read ****edcompany.com sometime.

and stay away from this milesbar crap.
