who has time to post when it is taking 2 hours just to get through milesource. LOL Up down I wish they would make up their minds. I think most of us are still here we are just lurking and not posting because we rush in, check in and the check back out.

Guilty guilty of lurking- altho' I still ask a lot of questions! Summertime ahhhh it is more difficult to get to the computer, and I have to share precious baby napping time with my 2 older children. I am guilty of logging on to catch the info. then dashing off to do the rewards programs or to chaffeur (sp??) duties, thanks for the reminder Mal, I will do better.

I'm sorry! Now that the heat index has dropped below 300 in Wisconsin, maybe I'll feel like posting!

The comment about the length of time to do milesource was right on though!

I miss all the posts on this board. I always looked forward to coming over and seeing who was posting and what programs were paying what. I really miss the programs that were doing well. Now, it takes sooooo long to get any points and they are so hit and miss.

Hopefully, some programs will pick up and come fall we will all be posting like crazy.

Until then, we will all be lurking thinking hte same thing, where is everybody?

After I found out that the Rewards Programs were jamming my computer or worse spying I losed interest in them. Plus Freeride was the only one that ever paid and after it crashed well,It just took to long to even get a reward and just when I would get close they would UP the amount of points. So, what was the use I was losing the game anyway you looked at it. Even test drives have dried up!!

And Dh was not happy with the amount of time I spent at the Computer. So, I check in once and a while to see if there is a test drive or a new "freeride".

I still check in everyday but I'm trying to get more rewards done faster so I dont usually post anything. Hopefully I'll bite the bullet this year and get a part-time job while the kids are in school.

TIA for everyone who posts the answers to the MileSource trivia and everyone that sends cards through Shared Greetings.

I just got back from vacation and was coming here to see what went on while I was gone. It is nice to see that we are all still surviving the summer and trying to do the best we can with the rewards programs that are left. Hopefully, the fall will bring us all some cool weather, big rewards, and a little more time on the computer.

Mal, thanks for caring about us so much and for inspiring us to do more!

you must of been reading my mind mal, I was getting a little nervous. I guess it is true, vacation and the rewards are lousy. Lets hope that things start looking up soon. I am trying to get some more webcertificates and restaurant gc for my next trip to the world, august of 2002. I am in the planning mode and every little bit helps!!

I think it is just the natural course of things...summer time is so busy for so many people. I don't normally have the time to read everything on all the boards that I like to, but at least try to post something every day or other day over here. Plus I am planning out upcoming trip in Sept & find myself on the other planniing boards alot more-LOL!


As far as Milesource, I'm glad its not just me! I clean everything out of my system all the time now, and have used about 4 different programs to get rid of everything--Milesource is the only one that takes forever + causes IE to crash all the time. No other program does this & since others are hacing the same difficulties I find it hard to believe it is only my system. Hope they fix things since they are one of my favs!

Hope everyone is having a terrific summer!

I also think that the rewards programs have gone down, when I first started with
mypoints, there was always things to do to earn points, now all they want you to do
is shop, plus I notice alot of the programs have the same offers, I already belong to most
of the stuff that they offer to sign up for, so when a new program comes along I rarely
take part because most of the time I am already a member of something they offer to get
points. My points was so good, that in less than a year I earned about 30,000 points,
I started spending them because when I noticed that the offers were getting slim (and even
email points when down to 5 points when it used to be 10) I decided better cash out just in
case this is another one ready to go belly up.

I agree that the quality of rewards programs has really dropped. With Freeride gone, Mypoints rapidly declining, and others going downhill as well, there isn't as much to talk about. Right now, I only do Milesource regularly, and occasionally Mypoints (I just use their Mypoints Mastercard to earn points) and Netflip (it's taken me six months to earn $17 - this one I do very occasionally!). With the decline of rewards programs, I haven't been frequenting this board as much. Here's to hoping for the return of the rewards programs!
