Problem

Miles is a mobile application that automatically tracks a user's travel across various modes of transportation, rewarding them with "miles" for every journey. The application incentivizes users to make eco-friendly choices by awarding bonus miles for sustainable methods such as walking, biking, or using public transit. Users can redeem accumulated miles for cash, gift cards from popular brands, discounts, or charitable donations, creating a tangible benefit for their daily travel habits.
