Not true. While you can't redeem them with another airline if you join through Flying Blue, you can certainly redeem them with IHG and a variety of other partners.
I'm not too worried about airline miles, because I usually fly delta and have so many miles built up there through years of using a skymiles debit card (previously offered through SunTrust bank, but no longer) that I'm not too worried about the airline miles.

Also note that while the mobile app can be quite good for getting surveys, the reward list shown on the app can be less than what you get on the web site. Example- IIRC, BA Avios are missing for me on the app but showing as available on the web site.
Good information to have, I'll keep that in mind when it comes time to redeem.

Really? That's even better than expected. Hopefully my profile will match up in a way that allows maximum earning capability.
