In a follow-up to the news last December that a new venture called e-Miles was launching in the new year, it seems that advertisers will begin placing ads for members to view and earn miles starting on or around Jan. 15. What is important for this new venture is not only does it expand the way in which members can earn miles without flying, but it leaves an easy and convenient way for members to keep their accounts active against expiring miles.

And you won’t be watching lowbrow ads to earn your miles. Informed sources tell us that among the advertisers wanting to display their products in front of this new channel of potential customers are: Hilton, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and many more. We expect they will announce additional airline partners (hopefully international programs as well) beyond those already named: Continental OnePass, Delta SkyMiles, Northwest WorldPerks and US Airways Dividend Miles.
