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!

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:
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.
Well be sure to send additional reminders, so you dont 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

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.

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.

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

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.
