For the past 2 months I've not gotten credit (in the past it was immediate) for clicking thru ads and answering a few questions. I'm getting plenty of offers but no credit. 5 and 10 point offers several times a week would add up quickly IF they were credited. Anyone else having this problem?

I have sent E-Miles a message three times in the last week about emails that say you will get the 5 miles for clicking through - and you don't. Of the 6 emails I received this week 3 were just selling stuff and the other three didn't give the 5 miles even though it says it would.

I saw a couple like that this week - the home page says you'll earn miles, but when you click through, if you read the text it says you only earn the miles if you sign up. I usually just go back to the home page and remove them - it's not worth five miles to sign up for their junk mail.

I just sent another complaint - and just started holding my breath...

The last three "offers" I received all said to answer the questions and get 5 miles for my time. None of them actually gave the miles. I copied the pages and sent them to emiles. They are really cheating a lot of people.

The emails I've received of late have not promised any e-miles, and I'd assumed that perhaps they were getting better at not falsely promising the 5 e-miles, but I guess not.

This program was never terribly lucrative, but it seems to have slowed down even more lately. tls

Same here. No response to the email I sent them.

Anybody know their corporate offices' address? Time for a Better Business Bureau complaint. I also don't see them on Twitter, which is usually a quick way of getting some kind of response.

They do have a page on Facebook - and I've received great results when I've posted issues on Facebook pages in the past - but all I see on this one are people complaining just like us and no replies.

One thing I've noticed is that sometimes I get the email AFTER I've
already filled out the survey from the web page list. It lets you
fill out the survey again, doesn't give you any miles, and doesn't
complain that you've already done it.

I'm not saying that's what happened; just something to check.

According to their LinkedIn profile, 5800 Tennyson Parkway Suite 600 Plano, Texas 75024 United States is their headquarters.

Over 5 miles? You're complaining to the BBB over 10 cents?

I'm complaining over a pattern of bait and switch. Since 9/10 of the offers of late that say they net 5 miles don't actually do so, that is a rather hefty and sneaky devaluation of the rewards.

I'd complain over the emails that say that I have offers available when I clearly don't.

I actually received a short reply from them today by email. Basically what it said was you can only get miles ONCE from each opportunity - then they listed the last 5 I completed and showed me where I had completed them before - up to 5 months ago! They send them out again, with the same instructions - but if you completed them before you don't get anything - I guess we have to remember every one we've already done.... I responded back to them but I can't repeat it here...
