We have had the same problem, that there was no warning about this change,
and now cannot access My Synergy.
However, for usage statistics, we did have a direct link to:
<http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/action/institutionUsageReport>
which seems to work.
2008 statistics appear to stop dead after April, but otherwise as far as I
can tell, the other years should be fine.
Here's hoping the stats will actually appear on Wiley's site as planned.
