Miles for surfing???

Does anyone know of a website that will rewards you for surfing the internet? I checked that smartflier.com site but no longer works. I also checked that profinity.com site and it too is not working.

At one point there was a site called something like netmiles.com but it went out of business.

The only site I've found succesful is ALLADVANTAGE. They pay cash, not miles. I've received two checks from them and seem to have no problems. Maybe they will start to earn miles instead of cash! Any suggestions?
Maybe we can all ask them to!
If you'd like to join, allow me to refer you! This way I too get credit!!! Alladvantage: http://alladvantage.com/home.asp?refid=cbh101

Profinity.com seems to have been down since Xmas Day. Hope this hasn't fallen by the wayside like all the others. Still waiting for WebBonusMiles to get going if it ever will. It's been 6 months now.

Hi Miles Man. I see you're working on that Junior Member issue. Have you tried www.etour.com? It's not exactly what you're looking for but along the same lines. Please let us know if Alladvantage does make the change to miles. I for one don't go for reward programs unless they pay miles. It's a miles addiction thing......lol.

I checked with www.freeairmiles.com over the weekend. You can not earn any miles yet, but are about 45 to 90 days away. They plan to e-mail the members the actual launch date when it approaches. I got an e-mail back form their conceirge desk that said they are going to change the format a little when they do launch. The plan is to give away up to 1000 miles a day maximum NOT 100 as currently advertised. They plan to put out a press release after the new year informing of such a change. They still are dealing with Delta and TWA only right now, but looking forward to earning miles by surfing the web soon.

Another excellent rewarding site is FreeRide. They offer gift certificates, not miles. If you go there daily & click on destination points 7 times for at least 6 points per banner ad, you can eaily get a $5 Reb Lobster/ Olive Garden gift certificate in 2 weeks. The offer a variety of places to spend your FreeRide points, but the only travel-related gift certificate one can earn is from Marriott.

If you're feeling generous, when enrolling please enter my username under the question of Username of friend who told you about us: FMETZ

I think that cash is much more flexible than miles, and myself prefer cash. If you prefer miles, many airlines will let you buy miles.

Alladvantage definitely pays you to surf the web (I have friends who have received checks), though they sure take their time sending out checks. If you want to sign up, go to http://alladvantage.com/home.asp?refid=AMI413

Good luck getting blood from this rock!

Thanks for the info about www.freeairmiles.com Right now the website says 500 miles a day-sounds too good to be true--but I signed up anyway. If anyone else signs up, use my referral name--Twinee

Hope this pans out, could be a great way to get those miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are right....it is 500 miles per day. They just had another press release discussing just that from PRNewswire.

Thanks for the correction.

Anxiously awaiting launch....

Is it still just Delta and TWA miles that can be earned, or has the field broadened to include others?

GoToWorld has a similar thing as AllAdvantage. It has a browser that you tell to be 'Show Ad-banner Only', I hide it behind the AllAdvantage one to save DeskTop space.

Not much has been happening with FreeAirMiles.com lately, but I have heard that they will be starting a 25,000 FreeAir Mile giveaway on February 15th. They will have 4 seperate drawings, for a total of 100,000 FreeAir Miles to be given out to 4 bi-weekly winners over the next 8 weeks.

Tell more...when know more.
