No Great Loss
I used to find it easy to redeem mileage or HH point rewards but started getting error messages last year that this program or that program were invalid. I do remember way back when that I originally signed up through a particular airline. When I would communicate with their customer service, I was asked to list my programs and account numbers but it never resolved.

I checked my E-rewards account yesterday and they rounded up $48.45 to $50 for me and $60.7 to $70 for a relative (posted yesterday)!
I redeemed the $50 for 1000 United MP miles last night and it posted this morning! I had tried to redeem to United when it was still in E-miles but it failed and re-deposited the money back to the e-miles account, luckily. So that's why the dollars got transferred to E-rewards, and I'm pleased to see the redemption worked for E-rewards.

That's interesting some accounts haven't been transferred yet, assuming the email address and account name match on both e-miles & e-rewards. My family had 2 problem accounts with United redemptions failing on e-miles (see a couple posts above), and the points still got transferred over to E-rewards just fine a few days ago. Hopefully yours will get transferred soon.

I did this too. Maybe that's why it shut down -- so many respondents were dishonest and the purchasers of the survey results found them invalid so stopped using it.

Looks like I won't even be getting my points. I emailed eMiles about it and this is their response. I have 262 points left hanging, will probably let it go.
