False Advertising
This app falsely advertises that you can use your earned miles to purchase gift cards. Not once in more then a year have I even seen a purchasable gift card. Everytime I check (nearly daily) the gift cards are always "sold out". I do not believe that the company actually offers gift cards for purchase, only use the false advertising to get app users. Now for the good. I gave the app 2 stars because it does allow me to keep track of my daily activity...for the most part. I have found it is not highly accurate, usually does not record compete trips or even accurate distantances. So if you're looking for something to keep track of work mileage I would suggest finding a different app.Show lessDovSleep
Such a deceptive app/program.
Takes forever to accrue enough points to get what MOST people want which is gift cards, because let’s face it, your other “rewards “ are not actual rewards. These are offers that are available to everyone on FREE sites or directly from the seller or company site. So back to the gift card issue.. they’re ALWAYS “sold out” but are shown as available until you click on them and THEN here’s the real kicker! You can BID on gift cards that are supposedly sold out for 3-4x the amount that they’re listed for! Insane! Don’t waste your time on an app that will never actually reward you for your miles. So disappointed. I’ve sent 3 messages and now I’m writing this review because I do this for an actual living so it’s EXTREMELY important to me that the consuming public are aware of bogus businesses and app developers such as this one ☝️Show lessJesMarie1131
NEVER EVER USE THIS APP
This app is a scam. I don’t understand why they are tracking people. But I can assure you that they do not hand out rewards. They will try to charge you more than the original price of the item. You usually get a free month on the products they are advertised directly through the company 30-days. This app charges you for that 30 days in exchange for points earned from them. I know by experience and you can Google the offers yourself. They are actually free for the first 30-days. I attempted both. I notified them that I got charged more than what the reward was offering,I never received any deductible and they wanted me to charge my credit card again with screenshots to show them proof of what I was talking about. They should know how their app. Usually a programmer checks it out themselves if there is a flaw. If any co, wants that much proof before, proceeding with anything or investigating anything, that’s how you know that the app was designed to rip you off. Not to mention you don’t want some stranger, knowing where you are all the time and what exactly it is you go there for. My best advice avoid this app. This app needs to be removed from the store.Show lessBubba12346

If you have any suggestions on how to improve user experience, we would love to hear from you at support@getmiles.com.SCAM- Charged a “Maintenance Fee”- Restarted me at 0.0 Miles! 😡😤🤬😤
I got this app to simply let it do what it said it could- track my trips and perhaps allow me some rewards. I have a fitness app tracker that even though progress was really slow- I eventually got like $10 out of it. Not bad, considering I didn’t have to do anything but workout like I usually do. I thought this app would be the same. HA!
I’ve had this app for 8 months- 8 months! And have redeemed nothing! When I was actively checking my trips and miles, every good gift card to “bid” on with miles was always out of stock. Weird how the limit had always been reached right before I got on to redeem. So I waited… well, after having this for 8 months, I got back on and it charged me a “maintenance fee”. That’s right, this app, that has tracked my data and benefitted from me charged me a “maintenance fee” in 2,500 miles!!!!!!!!!! because I hadn’t been on. Yes, it wasn’t money, but it was a ton of miles that I had accrued. So after 8 months- nothing, nothing to show. They just want to track your data, end of story. I’ve never written a review but this was way too terrible not to. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! Worthless, infuriating, waste of your time for them to try to mine your location and habit data to sell to third parties and partners. Yikes- terrible app.Show lesshendrixperience

Incredible app! It tracks my travel which is perfect for my work! It rewards me for the trips I would take anyway! It also gives me health incentives! And the rewards have really stepped up with anything from gift cards to subscriptions to free items or savings I would normally not find in other apps! I can’t beat the fact that I have been able to use the app to look back at my trips and prove timing for my job! Allowing me to get my max pay I would personally loose out on! Thank you MILES! I am able to guarantee that I am mot getting rid of this app!Show lessHap Happy Macuch
Yikes
This app started off.. okay? And then they just kept tacking unnecessary things on. Half of the graphics and designs changed with no purpose or function. On top of that the rewards are just Ads. 100% of the rewards are things that are already available to first time users of certain websites. You’re just downloading an app that makes money off of people looking at online business ads. There’s no actual gain to any of this. If you want to track your steps or “miles” there are much better apps for this (like strava). Dont waste your storage- in fact they removed any value they did have (aka their “gift card” rewards). ALSO none of their redeem codes ever worked?? It was a good idea but poorly executed. Like whoever put in the work to make the app function and look good is amazing- but whoever ordered it to be done is pretty bad at doing their job. (Also what’s up with the random tinder-esque swiping feature?? That was just weird)Show lessD.I.Stroke

Then let’s you down everytime. Have had this app for 2+ years, at first it seemed cool, it gives you points based on its tracking you. The more miles it tracks the more points you get. You can redeem those points for what seems like a lot of stuff. However truth is all the stuff that offer for a few hundred miles, can be obtained for free anyway. No need to waste your miles on them. Most are trials anyways, go directly to the site that’s offering the deal and you’ll see. Then there’s the gift cards that you can never get cuz it’s always sold out. These are like $2 & $5 gift cards, not very much, yet you can never get them cuz they’re magically sold out every dang time for the last 2 years. There’s a bidding option to get in case it’s sold out. But bidding is only for platinum & diamond members. No idea how to be a member,I’ve only seen reference to silver & gold. Didn’t know the other two higher up even though existed. But not surprised considering this app is simply impossible to ever get the one thing everyone really wants which is the gift cards.. There’s other apps that will actually give you real stuff, like once a month. In two years I’ve gotten not one penny from this scamming app. Deleting this crapShow lessTalysPops

Hi TalysPops, Thank you for taking time to offer us a review. We appreciate the feedback, as we are always looking to improve. We're sorry to hear about your experience with sold out gift cards. Given the popularity, these types of rewards typically sell out quickly. While we continue to improve this, you can also consider some of the other exciting rewards in the app to redeem with your miles. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@getmiles.com with any other questions you may have.I love this app! but there are some downsides when redeeming.😐
See this app pays you alot (especially when a gold member or platinum which is free) but there are some downsides
1: I redeemed a wasd keyboard from das keyboard and I thought it was going to be free, but they never said I had to buy something to get it, I want my miles back! (I’m jaxon ashford on the app)
Other than that I love this app, it pays you 20$ for 200 miles, so if you are going on a long trip to another state or something just turn this app on and you’ll get your miles worth! There’s a variety of rewards to choose from too!Show lesstjms.jaxon on ig
I don’t understand
So I have been using this app for a bit now, unsure how long, and I have 3 thousand and some change miles. Of course, they keep trying to get me to spend them. The things I want cost stupid amounts like 25 THOUSAND miles, but I keep trudging along trying to earn miles to get these things. Guess what. All of a sudden it’s not tracking anymore even though I purposely open the app each time I get in the car and make sure it’s open. I have it set to always. So is the not tracking an app problem or are you trying to force me to use my earned miles? I would have used them by now if what I wanted wasn’t so expensive.Show lessVikkisgrl
Great…when it works
I’ve cashed in on a few referrals deals and have other members of my household signed up. Should be earning double miles for nearly all of my trips, however, it doesn’t register about 50% of the time. The trip will be logged for the both of us individually but we have to constantly put in support tickets to have the miles corrected. It’s frustrating to have to continue to do this as each ticket requires specific information about the impacted trips and it has to be something you stay on top of tracking if you want to earn the miles you should be.
I’ve stopped referring anyone to the app and have advised customer service of this particular issue over a dozen times in the last 3 months. Response times are extremely slow (some surpassing 14 days).Show lessmguyton81
