Airmiles Toolbars?

Has anyone ever downloaded one of these tool-bars that lets you earn airline miles for searches or shopping? Is it worth it? I was thinking about signing up for one, but this is fairly new to me, and was wondering what the best one(s) were, and what your experiences were like using them?

I use the AA toolbar, mainly because I use the shopping portal and the toolbar helps let me know when a transaction should count. I think the value of these toolbars for gaining miles for searches is not that great. For the AA toolbar you can get a mile for every three searches you make, but the searches are with a provider I don't like to use and the software attempts to discern "fake" searches, often cancelling out legitimate searches I do make.

It's a crappy toolbar & search function but it's also an easy 500 miles

The only two I know of are for AA and US. Both are causing frustrations for some and joy for others.

Earn 500 miles (1,000 if elite) for using the Dividend Miles Toolbar

500 AA miles for downloading AAdvantage eShopping toolbar

Have used AA's but I hate how it pops up to say you earned a mile. I want an option to disable that. And some other small features.

I used AA's and removed it as soon as the bonus finally posted.

I added US' yesterday and would LOVE a pop up telling me I've earned something!! Having done numerous searches and a purchase, I'm still posting '0 searches, 0 miles' on the toolbar.

Dl'd the AA toolbar a few months ago, performed a few searches and then deleted. My toolbar bonus miles showed up about 1-2 month later.
