This is a new site (Preview Site v1.0), so it's still in it's building and growing stage. I just recently joined, so I thought I'd tell you about it!

How Do You Get Free Travel?
The site says that you can do this in 4 steps, though step 3 is 'coming soon':
- Sign up with the choice of your membership either MB Elite Gold or MB Elite Platinum
- Start referring your friends to build your referral network and earn miles even faster
- Download the MilesBarTM BannerViewerTM software and start earning miles for your time online
- See the Reward Chart for redeeming your miles for unrestricted free travel worldwide
I'm sure we'll be able to earn a lot more miles once the BannerViewerTM is up and running!
But potentially, this could be a great site for those of you interested in travel! ^_^
Browsing the Site
As for the site from a technical point of view, it's been built for IE, and so doesn't work perfectly in Netscape. Things like not using <form></form> tags have an adverse affect in Netscape - buttons for closing windows, etc, don't show up! And when joining, I got to a page where nothing appeared - they'd obviously not closed the tables properly.
Other than that, it seems fine... but you might just want to use IE, just in case. (*sigh* I don't like IE.) ^_^
Sign Up
If you want to sign up, or just have a look at the site, go to http://milesbar.com/join.asp?id=MBG1198 ... and 'clicking' on the logo at the top of the page will take you to the front page.
Can't you have a look, please, and tell me (and others, using the comments box below) what you think? ^_^
