I participated in FRA Rewards for a while. I played one of their video games for like 20 min, made a highscore, and got rewarded with 50 EUR in partner spend.
I did earn a little bit more by doing a promo or two. However, "regular" spending based rewards seemed out of reach for me. Prices of participating stores aren't really competitive and I buy most stuff online anyways.
EDIT: On another note, I really like the blog HFP. But I think he's going overboard on Heathrow Rewards and such. I mean, sure, participating stores are aware of concepts such as loss leaders and will give us a decent deal now and then. But they're also aware their customer base contains a lot a impulse buyers and somewhat less price-sensitive high net worth individuals. Overall, their sales don't play in the same league with the big online retailers. And I find that's sometimes forgotten when bloggers such as HFP praise mileage earning via airport programs.
