but my net result for my effort was 0. Previously, it was simple and straightforward--when you clicked on the offering, the miles promptly posted, all for little effort and rarely a headache. Worst case, you had to listen to a video for less than a minute.

The "new" layout of e-miles is not about simplicity, it's about marketing and non-transparency in exchange for your participation. Not worth my time or impatience, totally understand if it commands the attention of others.

I'm sure those folks crunched the numbers of what brings them revenue, clearly they net more by the "mypoints" approach, than the simple format that we enjoyed for years. And I'm sure it's not a coincidence as reported over on the e-rewards thread, that redemption options for e-miles is not currently available...and from the sounds of the member who pursued that, it sounds like it will be available when I turn 172.
