I'm another one of the long-time e-rewards active members who has been quietly moaning and groaning about the new lower point values and the increased disqualifications after completing surveys. So, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised when I got home from an overseas trip the other day, logged into my account and found a 10 point Business & Employment survey (usually my least favorite) that I was actually able to complete. Whoohoo! Then went back into my surveys and found another one, same value, same format, same sponsor (Ipsos), just different subjects (not really business and employment.) Completed that one, checked my offers and found a similar third survey, which I also completed.

So my welcome back to the States was 30 points in about an hour, just enough to allow me to redeem for another 2K United miles. Color me a happy camper for the first time in a while!
