Shoot... I'm glad I cashed in my $25/1000mi award yesterday, but was ticked because I had $43 banked and couldn't do the "earn more" in time for it to count.
As soon as I can bank another $25 to cash out the 500mi, I'm out too... I essentially lost 1000 miles due to the program change. Even if we could redeem each award in a year, doing $175 worth of surveys for 3500mi isn't worth it.
Damn e-rewards to Hades!!!
