User Reviews

Most reviews highlight reliability problems rather than features. Gift card purchases often fail or remain unavailable, with sign-in and session instability, crashes, long load times, and overall downtime. Support is frequently unhelpful or slow. A few users recall brief periods of proper function, but post-update performance deteriorated for many, making the app hard to use for earning miles and obtaining gift cards despite its promising concept.
Pros
  • When the app works, users can purchase e-gift cards and earn miles.
  • Some users had initial positive experiences and were able to sign up and buy gift cards.
  • The concept integrates miles with gift card purchases, offering potential value when functioning.
Cons
  • Gift card purchases frequently fail or are unavailable, with errors such as 'unable to complete purchase' or 'purchases disabled'.
  • Sign-in issues and login instability are common, including pages not working and frequent sign-out.
  • App crashes, long load times, and general instability are repeatedly reported.
  • Customer support is perceived as unresponsive, with reports of weeks-long outages and ignored tickets.
  • Overhaul/regression: the newer version is cluttered and performance worsened, with ongoing issues.

Great when transactions are successful. Broad range of merchants to get extra miles through the shopping portal, to get miles when buying e-gift cards, even better when doing BOTH at the same time. However, transactions fail OFTEN. Having a “point of sale” app that routinely fails at the point of sale is EXTREMELY frustrating. Contacts to help/customer service yield either no results, or “solutions” that don’t resolve the issue. Blaming a bank or CC issuer isn’t a resolution when a bank either didn’t reject a charge, or if a rejected charge is cleared/approve the app shifts to “Pay for [item] with Miles is Temporarily Unavailable” when you’ve designated a card (NOT miles) as the payment source.

Not only does the gift card functionality not work, but they’ve disabled the link to seek assistance. Mike credits for purchases from several vendors never show up. And don’t forget, a mile is only worth about 1.2 cents each, so chasing miles by using the app isn’t worth too much effort. Particularly when the app doesn’t seem to work at all.

Why my saved credit cards are all gone?? I can't add cards anymore!
