I did it. It didn't credit automatically, but it did quickly when I asked e-miles about it.
I have been accumulating points as expected. The points are worth a lot more if you redeem through MySurvey.com, because they share the same parent (Lightspeed). If you do redeem through MySurvey, 100 points (which is the base for a credit card for a month) is worth 100 MySurvey points, which is basically $1. But I haven't tried to redeem yet so I don't know if it is easy or a PITA. I have a MySurvey account, so I entered a bunch of cards to build a worthwhile point balance.
If you don't have a MySurvey account, you have to redeem for gift cards, or so it was when I signed up, and it's worth a lot less. In that case you'd be a lot less motivated and might just enter one token card to get the e-miles.
For me, a 500 e-mile offer with no expense is a pretty good deal even if you don't care about CS points down the road. But you do have to enter a credit card (and maybe a bank account, I forget), and you will have to wait a while for the points. No worse than say signing up for CreditKarma or Mint or the like.
