For e-Rewards: To find out if you can redeem your e-Rewards currency for US Airways...
-Login to e-Rewards
-Click on "Rewards" on the top tab
-Under the list of "Sponsor Rewards" you will see a list of companies.
--Is "US Airways" one of those companies?
---"Yes" then you should be ok. Just earn $25 and cash it in
---"No" then you can't earn a hit for GS with that account. Sorry.
For e-Rewards: To find out if you should sign up for an offer using a "Non-US Airways" invite...
-Who is sending you the offer?
--If it is Hilton, PriorityClub, or bmi (I think) = sign up NOW!
--If it is Delta, Emirates, or e-Miles = No joy! (You still could sign up, but can't get a hit in GS)
--If it is someone else... ????? (if you have any data points out there in FT land, please post 'em)
As always, YMMV -- this is just what I have seen and what I have read on this thread.

Welcome to FlyerTalk! Unfortunately, you can't expedite it. The best anyone can do is enter as much demographic info as possible in online profiles and subscribe to marketing emails. Luck of the draw from there.

For what it's worth, I signed up for e-Rewards on 8/27 (from a Hilton invitation), and so far have accumulated $16.30. Biggest hits were $4 for a survey about Harry Potter, and $5 for a business communication systems survey.

I now have two e-Rewards accounts. One from Delta Airlines (doesn't include US Airways as a partner option ... big surprise there . The other is from Upromise and also doesn't include US Airways as a partner option. I hadn't seen anyone list Upromise as a sponsor, so I figured I'd give them a try (I had an old invitation). No joy.

I've got an old Yahoo account that I use for a lot of hotel accounts. I did a search on e-rewards and found both a Hilton and PC invite.
So I signed up for each, and confirmed US Airways as a partner.
Now I just need to get to $25 on each so I can get a hit for myself and one for my wife.
I guess I need an e-miles account for her also. And for my kids.

I hadn't seen a mention of this yet. I signed up for eMiles yesterday and have earned 340 miles between the sign up bonus and other offers. But I noticed on the left side of the page there are a few sponsers that award eMiles for purchases such as iTunes and Nordstroms. It's nice to know that if I fail to get the remaining 160 miles in a reasonable timeframe I can buy a few gift cards from iTunes to make up the difference and score the hit. At the rate of offers at the moment, I don't think that'll be necessary.
