Have any people gotten 500 more than 2 times? If so how?
Lastly, I always say I am interested or would like to see the ad ops again in emiles. If you do that, there will be more opps to get the 5 points at least!
I have only had 2 redemptions (out of a possible 3) and will definitely have a redemption for the last quarter (500 miles for sure, possibly 1,000). I don't do anything special, except to sign up for bonus opportunities that are completely free, like the Hertz mailing list (25 miles), picture.com (50), Adobe Acrobat (200), etc.

I am currently a OP member but also have a WP account. My status is with OP as is my miles (I have a lot). Is it better to accumulate miles in one ST account or should I have some miles in 2 ST accounts? Or is it better to have one ST account and a different affiliation such as oneworld. I have an account with US as well, so should I join e-miles with US or CO or NW?? If this has already been answered please direct me and I will read. Thanks for your time. BTW, I fly all 3.
This is a 2-part question. The first--about having one SkyTeam account vs. two--is best to be answered in the SkyTeam forum. I would post there the details of your accounts (if you have "a lot" of miles in OP, then what's in your WP account?) and seek the advice there.
For the second part regarding which airline to sign up with for e-Miles, IMHO you could take two views:
Let's say you fly with CO/NW more than US...
1. ...so you want the miles to go to your biggest account.
2. ...so you want the miles to go to your smaller account, thus extending the expiration date in the event you don't find yourself traveling with the airline.
