E-Miles
« on: August 21, 2011, 12:55:59 PM »
A couple of months ago I got invited to join this site by Delta to help me earn a few extra miles here and there. To date I have ashed-out on 2,500 miles(sure that's not a lot but it was a good boost). There are a couple of other sponsors one can choose from such as Hilton Hotels and American Airlines etc. Cashing out of miles is in amounts of 500 only.

Just wondering if anyone else uses them and what your experience has been so far.

They give you miles for answering surveys. Nothing major, but it can help extend the expiration date. IIRC I've gotten 750 miles so far.

Oy!!! It is the very DEFINITION of bitul zman.

I am speaking from experience as one who was dumb enough to earn a few hundred miles from them. What a waste of time.

Unless you would tap dance at the train station so people will put quarters in your hat, you don't belong doing e-miles.

Some people actually wouldn't mind playing guitar on the subway if people dropped miles instead of quarters...

Playing a guitar in a subway station will get you more money a lot faster than e-miles. Besides its all in cash....

Besides the miles that DDF'ers are into come through CC bonus or GC's etc NOT sitting on e-miles...
