From the first page of this thread, some useful information about the posting cycle:

I am hoping existing users will get a hit when the September toobar miles post early October but will just have to wait and see.

This kinda has advantages. The toolbar will hijack the miles from any participating web sites and credit them as a DM shopping mall hit and not a partner hit.

I installed it in IE to get my hits, and do the rest of my browsing with Chrome.

I use MSIE 9 now. I also use the Hawaiian Air toolbar and they have been posting my bonus miles every time.
Pretty sure the toolbars will step over each other. Disable the other toolbar or install to another browser to avoid a conflict.

I noticed this morning that my "search" and "miles" counts reset, so hopefully they will be posting the accruals soon.

Reset and searches Oct 1 not counting

Same here about the reset, but my searches today are not being counted and my search and point counts remain at zero after doing several searches today. I tried logging out (to then login again) thinking that even though it showed me as "logged in" that maybe my login had timed out. I got a message indicating that I had logged out, but the toolbar still showed me as logged in (and the dropdown doesn't give me a login option). I'd never used the toolbar before so I'm not sure if these performance issues are normal or not.

I purchased via ThanksAgain a Restaurant.com voucher. It shows in the toolbar "11 miles per $". The toolbar was on and I got nevertheless the "thanks again" hit @:-)

I noticed the same thing last night. I downloaded the toolbar again and it began to perform normally. I did another few searches to earn another mile just to be on the safe side since my first round hasn't posted yet.

My searches were reset, but new counts are working without relogging or reinstallation

It is saying 0 for a reason

It clearly says "you have earned 0 miles this month". This toolbar ONLY shows miles earned in current month.

If you perform some new searches, it will yield you miles.

Did anyone else's toolbar reset to 0 today? I'm guessing that means as expected the miles will be posting soon.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
I just downloaded the toolbar, logged in, and did 3 searches. So now it says I earned 1 mile. That's enough, right? I don't need to "transfer" the miles in any way, right? So now can I log out so that someone else can do their 3 searches?

No, you don't have to do anything!! Miles transfer automatically every month!!
