Looking for any suggestions! I hate to let this "easy" hit pass me by.

Thanks!
That indicates to me something is wrong. Check your email spam settings if you've haven't gotten anything in months. If you're logging in to that account and not seeing anything for months on end there's some other kind of problem on the backend. Perhaps try emailing them letting them know that you have an account, haven't been recieving any communications, and asking if there's anything else you need to do. Some systems track IP's and do other things to check for multiple acct's, I haven't heard of erewards doing so but some kind of issue or conflict in the system might have arisen from your multiple acct's.

I would suggest visiting e-miles at least once every two weeks. New offers will arrive, sit in your "Earn Miles Now" list, and will eventually disappear. I have seen it happen two weeks after I originally saw the offer, but I have also had offers sit there longer than that.

Also, I believe your "Earn Miles Now" box can get full and thus no new offers appear until you clear it out. This is likely a YMMV thing.

How long does it take to complete e-miles?

My mom signed up, completed her initial offers, completed additional offers as they came in, didn't have to spend any money... 23 days start-to-finish

Thanks for your suggestion Yinzer. I had checked my spam folder and nothing was in there. I sent them an email and will post the results when I hear back.

Just got this email... I only have $5.00 in my e-rewards acct and not sure if this will suffice the GS hit. Anyone else receive this email?

I think that will work. I had a targeted email that offered me 500 US miles just for enrolling. I enrolled and found a "Free" option at the top of my list of options for US redemptions.

If this was the sign up bonus then this worked for me last year so it should count as a hit. Last year it showed up as:

I'm still sitting at 205 e-miles! I'm tempted to spend the $12 on the Economist for 300 miles, but I'd rather not. If I can get my other e-rewards account up to $25, it will let me submit for 500 e-miles, which I'll convert to US Air miles.. either way I should be able to get this hit sometime.

I think you can get pretty close to 300 just with the beginning surveys. Is this your second year?

If you read two issues it's paid off. For me the $12 is actually a savings.

I was sitting at 305 in e-miles, switched all my preferences to high interest and now I'm at 400 a day later. I have 500 points pending from them too for signing up for a Adobe trial, but it says it make take 30 days to post, so that doesn't do me any good.

Like some others had been dry for a couple days, then today a whole slew more came in. Nice. Closing in.

This is the first time I signed up, so I got the 200-or so miles for signing up, but there are some good magazine offers that are only like $10-12/year that I subscribed for (since I had an interest anyway) for about 50 miles. That helped.
