Hi 5miles users,
This is Shirley from 5miles customer support team.
Pertaining to your previous concern about no free “boost” issue, we feel glad to tell you that “free” boost function is back now, when 4 free boost chances is used off, you just need 9 coins to get one free boost.
You may ask how to earn coins? Actually, you cannot imagine how easily it is to earn coins:
- Seven consecutive check-in could help you get over 300 coins=33 free boost
- Following “Lustro Hair” Instagram could help you get 100 coins=11 free boost
- Referring a new user could help you get 1000 coins=111 free boost
- Besides, 5miles also provide other easy tasks to help you get more coins=thousands of free boost chances.
For more details on how to earn coins, please refer to How to Earn Coins?
Please do not hesitate to boost your items to get more exposure and offers.
We hope the changes help get your items sold faster, welcome to get back to me about your new feedback.
Best Regards,
5miles Customer Support TeamComment actions -

I used 5 Miles over other sales apps primarily because of the BOOST feature. Others sites don't offer it. Now that it's gone, I won't be posting on it any longer. That was a fantastic feature. Sorry I upgraded the app!! I guess you needed a way to force people to pay to "feature" their items.

No more BOOST! As it is local/community sales have plummeted since the auction and Dash were added. Now, on top of the diminished to zero sales, there is NO BOOST FEATURE. This feature set 5miles apart from other sites. Is it not enough that the site makes money from the huge amount of ads?! This site is NOT the same. As I have stated, nothing is selling since the addition of the auction and now the end of the free BOOST feature which will make it even harder to sell. I paid once for the additional feature exposure on a few items and received no interest at all. Waste of money. It is clear, 5miles does not care about it's users since their greed has certainly taken over. Bring back FREE BOOST FEATURE and the ORIGINAL 5miles!
