As mentioned in the other thread;

If you have the Dividend Miles Toolbar you can no longer earn miles with it. Here’s how to uninstall:
In Internet Explorer: From your Start menu, go to ‘Programs’ and select the Dividend Miles Toolbar folder. Click ‘Uninstall’ in that folder.
In Firefox: Go to the Tools menu in Firefox and select ‘Add-ons.’ Click on the record for Dividend Miles Toolbar and choose ‘Uninstall.’

If you uninstall DM Toolbar and do not install the Shopping Toolbar, do you lose your hit?

I already got my toolbar hit, but started playing my husband's account after Nov 1. I wonder if the searches from Nov will still post? Ugh!

Miles earned prior to the vendor switch should still be valid and post on the same schedule. I've gotten a few postings from the old DM mall today.

My latest (and evidently last) Amazon-derived miles posted this morning. Farewell, my lovely.

Yes, Amazon as a vendor will be missed. Chances for free miles gone.

The email about it being discontinued went out on Nov 15th.

I think advertising that toolbar use got a hit and then just wiping out any toolbar searches for November would attract some unwelcome attention for US Air so don't think they'd go that far.

When did people last see miles post for the toolbar searches? I did my searching on the 7th of November (pre-email) and just want to make sure they'll post and get me a hit. Haven't had anything show up thus far.
