Marathon Man Oct 8, 2007 9:19 pm

since the beginning of emiles I have redeemed 500 to my NWA account only once. I now have well over 300 and I never do anything but answer the initial survey and get the 5points. I dont want the hassle. Although there was one Guinness thing I signed up for. Maybe that's more.

Have any people gotten 500 more than 2 times? If so how?

Lastly, I always say I am interested or would like to see the ad ops again in emiles. If you do that, there will be more opps to get the 5 points at least!

I have only had 2 redemptions (out of a possible 3) and will definitely have a redemption for the last quarter (500 miles for sure, possibly 1,000). I don't do anything special, except to sign up for bonus opportunities that are completely free, like the Hertz mailing list (25 miles), picture.com (50), Adobe Acrobat (200), etc.

I am currently a OP member but also have a WP account. My status is with OP as is my miles (I have a lot). Is it better to accumulate miles in one ST account or should I have some miles in 2 ST accounts? Or is it better to have one ST account and a different affiliation such as oneworld. I have an account with US as well, so should I join e-miles with US or CO or NW?? If this has already been answered please direct me and I will read. Thanks for your time. BTW, I fly all 3.

This is a 2-part question. The first--about having one SkyTeam account vs. two--is best to be answered in the SkyTeam forum. I would post there the details of your accounts (if you have "a lot" of miles in OP, then what's in your WP account?) and seek the advice there.

For the second part regarding which airline to sign up with for e-Miles, IMHO you could take two views:
Let's say you fly with CO/NW more than US...
1. ...so you want the miles to go to your biggest account.
2. ...so you want the miles to go to your smaller account, thus extending the expiration date in the event you don't find yourself traveling with the airline.

Total accumulation for me to date is 1345 (just got my second 500 transfer a few days ago -- 1st and 3rd quarters). So I expect another 500 at the end of the year.

I don't do anything special. As with Winglets I sign up for things that are free and don't for anything that costs.

Last quarter i had a lot of surveys. I did use their special offers once for Horchow or was it neiman marcus? and others were to sign up somewhere. I haven't bought anything to get any special miles.

Just broke the 500-mile threshold again. Hoping that end-of-year things will get me up over 1,000.

2,000 miles/year isn't tremendous, but it's not like it takes much of my time either.

I did that Adobe software thing but have yet to see 200 miles post to my account from it. That was a few weeks ago now.

Only Delta remains?
 
I've check my e-rewards account yesterday and again today and I only see Delta as an airline redemption option. :confused:

This thread is about e-miles, not e-rewards. (Yes, I know they're run by the same company, but they are separate programs.)

Which program did you mean?

500 NW WorldPerks miles from e-Miles posted on 01/01/08. ^

My e-Miles posted to my DL account ^, but so far haven't posted to my CO account :( - it does say "deposit" so there is hope! (I have 2 accounts/emails.)

I haven't joined e-Miles yet. It seems e-Miles has the same rule as e-Rewards:

from e-Miles Member Agreement:

"By completing the registration process, which includes submitting the e-Miles Enrollment Form, you become an authorized user of the e-Miles Service (a "Member").

Section 1) Eligibility

1. The e-Miles Service is limited to individuals only; corporations or other business entities may not become Members.

2. The e-Miles Service is limited to one account per individual, even if an individual has multiple e-mail addresses.....
"

Best that you don't advertise having 2 or more accounts

They catch you with two accounts they will void everything and shut both down.

Same for eRewards. Same for myCokeRewards.com

they have tools to match up things to catch you.

Is there a way to see exactly when/where points camme from? I seem to have gotten 100 I wasn't expecting, which pushed me over the edge just in time for Jan1. Not that I'm complaining, just curious. :)

Oh, and no sign of them in my US account yet.
