Today, we are proud to announce the go live of the World’s first independent Mobility Rewards Program! (Official Press Release)

For the past couple of months we’ve been working hard to bring to you iMiles, a membership rewards program that truly rewards your mobility.

Joining is 100% free and easy:

1. Get the free iPhone application. (direct iTunes link)
2. Register right from your device.
3. Check your inbox and confirm your registration.
4. Start collecting miles!

We’ve made iMiles easy and fun to use: Once you’ve joined the program, you simply swipe your personal, virtual iMiles card whenever you’re on the go and we take care for the rest.

Flip to the backside of your card to

• Get details about your current status and how much it takes until you’ll be upgraded.
• Publish your status to Twitter or Facebook.
• Recommend iMiles to your friends and gain bonus miles once they sign up.
• See how you’re ranking compared to other iMiles members. (Expect many more stats on the iMiles website soon!)

Our privacy policy is easy: We don’t share anything.

We are feeling honored that you’ve decided to join our program. We don’t share your data with anybody outside the iMiles Mobility Rewards Program. Period.

Collecting miles is cool, but what about the rewards?

We are currently working with selected partners to start offering real-world benefits in the very near future. These range from allowing you to access your favorite night-club’s VIP area (based on your iMiles membership status) up to exchanging your miles for exclusive discounts.

While the details are still being worked out, we didn’t want to hold iMiles under the radar anymore. Our beta testers loved it – and hopefully so will you.

Is there an API?

These days, every service has a public API. And so do we.

While we provide absolutely no access to our members data, we allow you to check the current mileage balance and status for any given email address. Please check out our API page for details. We’d love to see you using iMiles membership levels as part of your next Web mash-up!

What’s next?

During the past couple of months, our team has been working night and day to get iMiles up and running and might take a little break (say, some ten hours or so).

The two areas we are focusing on next will be to bring more partners to the program so that we can start giving away real-world rewards and to add sophisticated statistics to the iMiles website. The latter will allow you to see who’s doing best in your country, how many iMiles members have been at Times Square the last time you’ve walked by and start competing with your colleagues.

Thank you for visiting our blog and happy swiping!
