    Do you smell a bubble?

    A lot of people wanted to know what their miles are worth. Not just a standard x cents per mile/program but wanted to know what the miles are worth for them based on their reward programs, balance and elite status. In the coming weeks we will expose our calculation so that people can start learning how simple steps can increase their net worth.
    We also learned that elite travelers like to interact with other elite travelers. So we've built communities where they can do just that. If you have a Singapore Kriss Flyer account you can test drive that feature today.

    Thanks,

    Jonathan

    It's been 6 months since your last post on this discussion. Where are all the features on superfly. It looks just as disjointed and valueless as before. I don't see any value for an elite traveler - your lounges have very little data. How you value miles is a mystery and certainly offers nothing either. What amazes me most is no evident revenue generation. Where and how do you guys earn money? Display advertising? Referrals? Booking Fees? Sale of miles? What do you guys do? How many users do you have? There are so many people in your space - what do you differently? You talk about flight search - one can get much better results other places. How many people signed up for your service. Your security should be a big concern to anyone who signs up.

    Is this a joke? Just popped into take another look. First screen invites me to do a flight search. Result:
    Orlando to New York
    Apr 11 to May 16
    • No flights found for the given criteria

    Same thing for two other common trips.

    I did not understand Superfly until now, because everytime I login there is a blank page.

    what an interesting thread - interesting because of the passion around online platforms that aim at helping frequent flyers. as a side note, we built our site from scratch with $20k...i wonder if we could get funding too, and build out all the functionalities we would like to build (plus market the living daylights out of our site) ;-)

    Why not? If SuperFly can get funding with only vaporware why can't you?

    we're working on it :) so keep your fingers crossed...who ever feels like it can try out our site and let use know what they think: the good and, more importantly, the bad - that's how you improve the site (well, to some extent :)).

    I looked at your site yesterday (briefly only, I admit), and it reminded me of what I had written above about SuperFly:

    You might have a great product, but you're not telling me enough or the right thing to justify spending time on the registration.

    very good feedback! thanks...there is indeed room for improvement(s) on our homepage, and we are looking into adjusting it.

    Organizing miles is a small piece of what we do today. Our goal is to personalize flight search and thousands of users enjoy our search every week.

    Would love to get more feedback on what you'd like to see going forward.

    We had some issues with the flight search service. It is not that simple to build a meta search to compete with Kayak + personalization. We weloce the feedback and promise to improve our service.
