Better option is e-surveys where for 15 or 20 minutes you can earn $5 or $10. You can then use this to buy a $25 e-cert from NWA.

I'd spend my time on the other site.

I believe you mean erewards.com
a) NWA discount rewards are "out of stock" ... which is a load of toss; they can issue as many certs as they want to.
b) IF you earn $5 or $10, when converted to miles, you're talking 2000 miles for "$100" in erewards ... hence this currency is highly overvalued. 2000 miles are worth, maybe, $20. So your $5 survey gives you effectively 100 miles.
c) The emiles.com system suffers from a severe dearth of opportunity. So what if you "earn" 300 miles by answering 12 one-page "surveys" (basically filling out your profile so they can send you "targeted offers" ... if you can't get it to 500 miles in the quarter, you lose these miles.

Both systems are not quite worth the effort.
