ORIGINAL POST ON HOW I WAS WARNING PEOPLE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT MAGSFORMILES
Watch out for bad ugly sites out there. Especially if you want magazines for your miles (airline miles). I have a feeling that most of these Magazines for miles websites could just be phishing operations. The classic case is MagsforMiles [http://www.magsformiles.com/], a site that makes you fill out information such as FF no, name and address, makes you select the magazines and then when you click Submit selection, it gives a response that the site is just a demo, but thanks for the info anyway. Huh! Thankfully I used my one account with only 1000 miles but I am still concerned about giving my name and address away. Shucks.
UPDATE: I realized that my paranoia was a little unfounded. [I got my mags and nothing untoward happened back then] I had posted the above material long back, but recently found out that this page has been getting lot of views. Maybe people are trying to use up their accumulated miles for something, rather than letting them go waste. Considering how hard it has become to redeem miles for award tickets nowadays, converting them to magazines or Amazon cash (more on that in another page) is very welcome.

MagsForMiles is a valid site, but they only allow the site to be used in response to a snail mail offer. One way to get around this is to search the web for "magsformiles" as you can usually find some references to the URLs for those response sites on forums or blogs such as this one.
