I recently redeemed 145 e-rewards dollars (I don't call them $ because they're not) for a $50 Starbucks gift card; the transaction was completed within a day (maybe faster, I don't remember). It was an e-code, redeemable online. Transferred it to my existing Starbucks card. Fast and painless.
The Starbucks gift cards are still there for me as well.
I redeemed for Starbucks twice, about 5 & 11 months ago. It sounds like the redemption has really improved, because when I redeemed, it said it would take up to 30 days got get the GC's. However, 30 days came & went without getting the GC (both times), so I had to contact e-rewards. To their credit, they responded promptly to my inquiries, and I got the GC's about a week thereafter (ie, I got a physical card in the mail). I'd much rather have an e-code redeemable on-line, so am glad to see this is now available. bb
