People needed for research - please help

Hi - I an MBA student are currently doing some research on people joining reward programs.

Are you willing to volunteer in my research? The people I'm wanting to interview satisfy the following criteria:
  • you have rewards but don't really know what do do with them (or you only use them for paying for hotels and flights)
  • you have rewards from one or more programs collected, but your are not using them (or at least not often)

If you satisfy the criteria above, I would be very happy to hear from you. All I would need form you is 30 minutes of your time for a telephone interview via Skype or by chat.

Please e-mail me directly if you are willing to help: <email removed by Mod per policy - suggest you PM the OP if interested>

Thanks in advance and I will also share my research results with you.

No offense, but you may not be targeting the right group. Most folks who look at this site are very knowing regarding programs and awards.

I'd say there are at least as many people learning the ropes as people who already know them.

However, MilesBuzz! might be a better forum choice.

I have rewards and only use them to pay for hotels and flights. i think a lot of us are in this camp since in many cases hotels and flights offer the highest redemptions. Its hard to understand why someone would want to convert airline miles to gift cards with a much lower value.
I would love to know if there is a much better use that flights or hotels for using thses points, please share if you have any ideas
