But you give me an idea to go thru the junks eMiles still offer to sell and see if I could find a solution, not hopeful though.
Update
Just received the email now. It seems if you have an eReward account with the same email address, the balance of the eMile would automatically transfer to your eReward account at the conversion rate of 0.05 per mile. So not all is lost if one cannot find a purchase to free the orphan miles.
I second this as well. I stopped using Emiles once the redesing was done. Had about 401 miles and just like you, I signed up under UA. I couldn't find any 400 miles redemption, so I did a few surveys yesterdays, and in about 30 minutes I had 517 miles in my account. I immediately cashed them in to 500 UA miles. If I have time over the weekend. I'll see if I can up my 17 miles again to 500 and get another redemption as well. Good luck, it is still possible to do this.
