Profinity.com still working???
 

I have been wondering if anyone else noticed that Profinity.com is not online. Did Profinity.com go offline or out of business. It is kinda bizarre.. anyone get any info?

Thanks..

Dunno what's happening. The site has been out of commission since the early hours of Xmas Day (that's UK time). Neither the site or Dashboard were working.

Just checked and the site is up again! Dashboard and site back in operation.

Not sure if this is the case for profinity.com, but if you keep hearing about a lot of web sites that went "down" on Dec 23/24, the reason is that Network Solutions ("the dot com people") decided that would be a good day to shut off the domains of all domains that had outstanding bills since October. Yeah, right before one of the biggest holiday weekends, good idea. Just another reason Network Solutions is a bunch of morons. A few prominent domains went down.

(I had somehow forgotten to pay the bill on my personal domain, and I got exactly one notice of it, in October, before it was shut off in the early morning of Dec 24). I paid it on-line on the 24th and it was back running in 24 hours, which I have to say is a model of efficiency, by their standards.

thanks gang.. you guys can make miracles happen (I am going to pretend you made it come back up)... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I really enjoy the miles on the site, good deal.. if I can only get this site to stop error because of the ads....

LOL!

Looks like we can scratch Profinity off our lists of mileage earning opportunities.

When they arrived on the scene in early November, they offered American and Delta miles. American disappeared off their website in late December. As of today, Delta is gone too.

I'm really not too excited about Barnes & Noble or Blockbuster credit....see ya later Profinity!

Did anyone manage to get any AAdvanatge or SkyMiles credited to their accounts thru Profinity? I applied for 500 SkyMiles about a week ago, yet to hear the outcome.

Though I'd racked up a fast 30k pts at the outset, I've so far not been able to get anything. I asked the same question and noted previously in OMNI that I thought they were in trouble and were seemingly using unlicensed components. Does anyone get an error message upon loading?

I've actually stopped using them since the millenium and will likely UNinstall soon unless there's some positive development(s) soon.

I remember that thread now, doc. I get the "This is not freeware" message everytime I launch the desktop, although it never happened until I got over about 3000 profinity points. I've also noticed that if I try to reaunch the desktop after I've closed it down once, it tries to tell me that it's already running.
Very disappointing.

I submitted a request for 1,000 AA miles in early December and still haven't seen them post. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Dearest Dr. Pfp,

Oh, there are free miles to gain on the internet...I'm definetly the guru on this subject!

The absolute best opportunity lasted a year and a half with PlanetAll.com. Through that website I earned 40,000 UA for me (20k 1998, 20k 1999) 40,000 UA for my wife (20k 1998, 20k
1999) 36,000 DL miles (GRAND TOTAL 116,000 FREE MILES!!!) Every single mile posted to their respective accounts. And on top of all that, a free Palm Pilot III during their holiday contest. I have earned miles with other online promotions and websites that total another 28,000 miles. It takes time but adds up!

With multiple phone lines in my home and home office, I have switched between the long distance services so many times that I need to keep track of it with a spreadsheet! Over the past eleven years, I have earned over 319,000 various airline miles and 7,500 Hilton points thanks to their insane promotions.

This post is to those out there who find it necessary to flame the other members of this board who are just trying to give useful information or hints regarding our passion of Frequent Flying. Please resist having to flame someone! You will find while reading the posts on this board that everyone seems to have a "niche".

Mileageaddict wants to share his findings on ways of gathering extra miles. PremEx is great with UA info. Rudi and Stimpy are great sources for international travel. Sheryl has been great with CO ticket bookings and Priceline deals. RichG offers great humor! Catman is trying to police the board as best as he can. Punki often offers advice from the woman travelers point of view, while Doc reposts a lot of information from the the various publications and for me, I find it useful as I don't have the time to source the info.

I am just asking that those of you who find the need to have to flame others, please either ignore the person that is upsetting you or just leave the board to the people who want to be civil and enjoy the others!

If I am guilty of flaming anyone, I want to apologize for that.

Will try to reign in CMDR CATCOP.

Mileage Addict: If I didn't before, thank you for your site and all the useful information. YOu've helped me several thousand miles, I think you've helped all of us!! I hope no one is razzing you for how you earn your miles (I know you fly a lot!) so I say leave M-A alone!!!

And newself, wish I could send you a beer through cyberspace for that post! After writing such an intelligent post you deserve several yards of beer. You're exausted.

Now go off and nap and earn some double snoring points. I think I will too.

Well said, newself (and you Catman!)

Catman - where is the flame?

Good posts from MileageAddict and newself.

Pfp - personal attacks do not belong here.
