To me, getting 10 miles and in exchange having a company waste resources to produce and mail something I don't really care about just isn't worth it. Now, we could say that using energy just to participate in e-Miles isn't worth it, nor is the travel we all do with these miles but we must start somewhere and I thought passing on these 10 mile offers was something I could live without.

I would be interested in hearing other people's thoughts.
Yeah I know whatcha mean but how many times have you received "junk mail" with NOTHING offered for you at all except another mispelling of your name as you toss it all toward the circular files and help ruin the environment by plugging up more landfills for them? At least these guys--who are gonna spend and send anyway--are giving the 10 miles. I just wouldnt go chasing them down or anything if they fail to post. You could use the miles to fly on a plane and help promote more CO2 useage like we all do!

Just my two cents (plus stamp)

Or had their missing miles posted?

I bet the new system of emiles somehow does not quite interface with the already convoluted new system of NWA's WorldPerks...

Email this lady and tell her there's yet ANOTHER marketing problem with partner postings. She's gonna tell you to get lost and that she doesnt handle this stuff, but she works in management at WorldPerks and in my opinion, they need every tidbit of missing mile complaint from partenrs that they can get, as proof to the fact their entire WP world has holes and errors in its structure! It is worth at least a try and one more person's letter:

don't tell her I sentcha!
