RETURN BOOST OPTION
Boost option has been removed. Why? Boost helps list our items at least 2-3 times a day at 4hr intervals for active members this was a plus and it allow us to have better chances of being viewed and selling fast. I have been with 5miles for several years and this option made this App one of the Best to sell. Without this many will go elsewhere. Many run at home business on here. Losing this option is more a loss than a gain for /of Users. Bring Boost back.

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 stay with 5mile simply because of the Boost option. I've sold many things right after I would boost something I'm selling that would not have been seen if I didn't do that. I have tried to figure out why you have gotten rid of this option like for what reason, but I can't see the Boost option affecting 5 Mile in any way shape or form. In fact, since I can't boost, I don't even get on 5 Mile anymore. I suggest you bring this option back, and whoever had this bright idea,
should put them in another job in your company. -
Talk about going to extremes! Boosting every few hours was way too much activity and items were buried in the constant feed right away. BUT only boosting 4 times EVER is ridiculous!!!! Not worth posting so I'm done with this app too. Odds of selling way too small to pay to post anything on this app.

So we're supposed to just pay money out of our pocket to boost our ads in order to make a sale that we're not going to make money on because we're having to pay for our ads on this app? Our ads are never seen now and if we want to reinstate and we have to delete the pictures and use different pictures of the same stuff and the only reason why I'm using it now is because I'm trying to login every day to get my free Amazon gift card if this is not going to be a scam getting my gift card for logging in every day till I get a thousand points once I get a thousand point in trying apply for my gift card I'll know whether it's a scam or not but there will be no day on this Earth that I spend paying to feature my ads that aren't going to be seen anyway
