Far more transparent than "e-rewards" which I maintain is not worth one's time (works out to 40 frequent flyer miles per hour spent doing surveys), has many restrictions on earning (caps), your points devalue, sometimes as quickly as 32 days after earning them, and have many other problems. I've cancelled e-rewards and am sticking with e-miles. Only problem with e-miles is not that many opportunities to earn.

I would say though that more miles can be earned through e-rewards in the same period of time with e-miles. Where e-miles has the advantage is that it is constant all year.
