Nacho, or you can ask an FTer located in the USA to log into your account & order e-miles to be transferred into your hotel/ airline accounts. It must be somebody whom you trust with your Username & Password. Of course, after s/he has ordered for you, you can change your password quickly!

Again, not without VPN or USA access, as you can't even login.

Du-uh! I forgot about that! Thanks for catching my mistake, Jms_uk!

Wow! Thanks a lot for the responses! One thing I'm still wondering though is that I pressed I forgot my password and I never get a reset password email.

Do they block that from outside the US too?

TIA!

It's dead, Jim.
 
Just received from E-miles:


Dear Member,

We wanted to reach-out with an important update about the eMiles program and your membership.

We greatly appreciate your support and participation in eMiles, as well as the millions of other Members over the years, but sadly we need to communicate that the eMiles program will soon be coming to a close.

We will provide additional updates along the way, but wanted to inform you of a couple of key dates in advance:
  • Effective June 15, 2018, eMiles Redemptions will close, so please be sure to log-in and redeem, as unredeemed points will expire on June 29, 2018
  • After June 15, 2018, you will continue to be able to log-in to eMiles, view your account history, claim previously-redeemed rewards, and communicate with [email protected]
IMPORTANT NOTE:
As an existing member of the e-Rewards Opinion Panel (our sister company), any eMiles Points that you have not redeemed by June 15, 2018 will be loaded into your e-Rewards account (associated with this e-mail address) on or before June 29, 2018, in the amount of $0.05 in e-Rewards Currency, for each remaining eMiles Point.

This ensures you can continue to take advantage of your eMiles Points, as well as the great earnings opportunities that e-Rewards has to offer.

We’ll be sure to send additional reminders, so you don’t forget to redeem your points, but please visit our FAQ if you have any questions.

Thank you again for being an integral part of our community.
- Your friends at eMiles

Bummer. It was redundant for the company, but the IHG EQ points were nice.

I tried using VPN but with no luck, I also haven't received any email from emiles for a while. I guess they just closed our accounts :(

It's really annoying as I still have a bunch of miles in all of them.

RINSQP, e-miles.

*RINSQP = "rest in not so quiet peace"

If you outside US, try login without VPN turning ON first. This worked for me.

Which VPN do you use? I'm using the free ones and it seems none of them let me log in :(

TravelinSperry May 27, 2018 7:47 am

I was able to login. Haven't used emiles in quite some time. Way too much effort for too few miles. e-rewards is much better. Their closure is no big loss.

Hoxx VPN on Firefox.

I used it occassionally to keep my miles/ points in my lesser used ff accounts from expiring. But I suspect they simply took so much of the value away that lots of folks stopped using it, and it stopped being economical for them to operate the program. Just a theory. tls

I'm using the same thing but it kept saying login failed. :(

So I signed up under United long time ago and still have 341 left there. The only option for me to transfer is to UA., no eRewards offered.

I have not received eMile emails the past several months, but I am able to log in just fine after learning about the news. Still there is no way to get the bal up to 500 before June 15, so it is RIP for me.
