I have already downloaded the toolbar and got miles for searches but nothing in my account yet.
So I'm hoping to delete it and then re install it to get the miles. I'm also hoping to do it for FF IE9 and chrome.

I find the toolbar less flakey on IE than other browsers.
As it is linked to particular accounts I doubt that loading on different browsers will give any increase in miles. My experience is that if you switch between one browser and the next it picks up the count from where the other left off.
We have four accounts all using the same computer and once 100 miles have been earned on one account we log it off and log on the next account. No need to have different computers or browsers.
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.

My guess is that the toolbar/search hit will be awarded when they detect that you have earned miles for a search, not when you earn miles for both a download and a search. Regardless of what any understands or guesses, we'll know once the hits start posting. If you really need to know sooner, you can try asking US Airways.

In the faq (http://www.usairways.com/EN-US/FAQS/...AMFAQS.HTML#14) it reads:
One can read this, that downloading will not get a hit but the searches.
However I agree that the wording in the GS Rules (http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...slamrules.html) is a bit different as it is download toolbar and three searches (= one mile).
Can I use the Dividend Miles toolbar to earn hits?
Yes! Once you’ve downloaded the toolbar to your computer, just complete 3 mileage earning searches and you’ll earn a hit. But you can only do it once for it to count as a hit.

It's got to be from having miles post to your account from doing three searches. Miles posting to your account from transactions is how every other hit works, there's no way this can be different. I just can't see a way in which US would track when/how you downloaded the toolbar in addition to earning miles from it. The point is that they want you to use it...it's gotta come from the miles.

The toolbar generally displays how many valid (i.e. mileage earning) searches you've performed and how many miles you've earned. The search results screen displays a message when you perform a non-mileage earning search.
