Hi All,

Since the wonderful (!) website upgrade, logging into Shops Away is a real pain in the ass. Has anyone found an easy way to log in?

Thanks, Stevey

David is right, except you do the clickety click clicks and the damn thing doesn't even track. So you clickety click for the missing miles. Sigh.

I have a bookmark but don't know if it works for anyone other than me? http://www.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/fly ... -away.html

The ShopsAway toolbar has been the best for me. Unsure if it's the same on every browser or OS, but on Chrome on Mac, it only appears when you're on a ShopsAway site. One click and it's all done for you.

If you install the Miles Finder toolbar on Firefox it lets you click straight through. However it doesn't have that option when I use it on Chrome.

Not sure otherwise.

bear in mind the miles finder browser add-on only works with web sites that support it, for other sites you must remember to go in the long way via FC->shops away->choose retailer

one that doesn't is john lewis, annoying as with the bonus they ran my forgetfulness meant i missed out on well over ten thousand miles, grrr

Having just installed the shops away toolbar for Safari after reading this thread the other day, just noticed that 250 bonus miles have been credited to my FC account yesterday :-D
