1. What MileMaxx is
MileMaxx is a free browser extension that tells you when a site you’re shopping on has a rewards portal available through one of the portals you’ve enabled. It shows you options. It does not activate portals for you automatically, take any action on your behalf, or change what any portal pays out.
2. Who can use it
Anyone 13 or older can use MileMaxx. If you’re between 13 and 18, we assume you’ve got a parent or guardian’s permission to install browser extensions.
3. It’s free
MileMaxx is free to use. We don’t charge for the extension, we don’t charge to read the website, and there is no paywall. If any of that ever changes, the change won’t apply retroactively to features you’re already using.
4. What we can’t promise
We do our best to keep MileMaxx accurate, but:
- We don’t run the portals. Avios eStore, Virgin Red, Radisson Rewards Shop, United MileagePlus, and the others are run by the portal operators themselves. We read their public catalogues and display what we find. If a portal’s earn rate changes, the portal’s own information is authoritative.
- We don’t guarantee you’ll earn points. You’re the one choosing whether to open the portal link and place the order. Whether the points actually post is between you, the retailer, and the program. Common reasons points fail to post include ad blockers, multiple portal activations in the same session, gift cards, returns, and the portal’s own terms.
- Point valuations are estimates. When we say “~£34 of value,” we mean a deliberately conservative estimate based on typical redemption rates. It is not a promise.
- We don’t control devaluations. If a program devalues its currency or closes its portal, we can’t prevent that.
MileMaxx is provided “as is” with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
5. What you agree not to do
- Don’t try to break the extension or the website, or probe them for security holes — with the exception of good-faith security research, which is explicitly welcome (see Section 11).
- Don’t use MileMaxx for anything illegal.
- Don’t use MileMaxx to try to game shopping portals in ways that violate their terms. For example: creating fake accounts, stacking activations against portal rules, or running automated shopping scripts. If a portal’s T&Cs forbid it, we don’t want to be part of it.
- Don’t scrape the MileMaxx site or underlying catalogue to build a competing product. If you’re curious about a legitimate use, email us — we’d rather have a conversation.
6. The portals are their own thing
We have no affiliation, partnership, or endorsement relationship with British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Aeroplan, United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, or any other airline, hotel chain, shopping portal, or card issuer referenced on the site. Their trademarks belong to them. We display their information because it’s publicly available and useful to people using those portals.
If you work for one of these portals and you’d like to object to how MileMaxx displays information about it, email hello@milemaxx.com. We take that seriously.
7. Our content
The MileMaxx name, the website copy, the branding, the extension code, and the curated data catalogue are ours. You can link to the site, quote us with attribution, and share screenshots. You can’t copy the code, re-host the site, or use our name to promote something else as if it were us.
8. Your email address
If you subscribe to the Monthly Ledger, you’re agreeing to receive approximately one email per month. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. Unsubscribing removes you from future sends; it doesn’t delete your record immediately (see the Privacy Policy for retention details).
Everything we collect at signup is detailed in the Privacy Policy.
9. Liability
MileMaxx is a free tool. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for lost points, lost miles, missed opportunities, failed redemptions, disputes with retailers, or program devaluations. If we break the tool, we’ll fix it as fast as we can, but we cannot reimburse you for points.
If you live somewhere — such as the UK or EU — where consumer law says certain kinds of liability can’t be excluded, that law overrides this section to the extent it applies to you.
10. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. For substantive changes, we’ll also give at least 14 days’ notice through the Monthly Ledger newsletter before they take effect. Continuing to use MileMaxx after the change date means you accept the new terms.
11. Ending this agreement
You can stop using MileMaxx at any time. Uninstall the extension from your browser and — if you’re on the newsletter — click unsubscribe. There’s no account to delete and no subscription to cancel.
We can stop providing MileMaxx at any time too. If we shut down the service, we’ll give at least 30 days’ notice through the Monthly Ledger and offer a way to export your data before we delete it.
If you believe you’ve found a security issue, email hello@milemaxx.com with “security” in the subject line. We won’t pursue legal action against anyone who reports a vulnerability in good faith and gives us a reasonable chance to fix it.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute goes to the courts of England and Wales. Nothing in this clause affects mandatory consumer protections you have in your home country.
