eMiles Shutting Down
Just received this email... not cool that they only gave one week notice then again they could have just turned off the lights and left in the middle of the night.
Dear Member,
We wanted to reach-out with an important update about the eMiles program and your membership.
We greatly appreciate your support and participation in eMiles, as well as the millions of other members over the years, but sadly we need to communicate that the eMiles program will soon be coming to a close.
We will provide additional updates along the way, but wanted to inform you of a couple of key dates in advance:
Thank you for a being an integral part of our community.
- Your friends at eMiles

- Effective June 15, 2018, eMiles Redemptions will close, so please be sure to log-in and redeem, as unredeemed points will expire on June 29, 2018
- After June 15, 2018, you will continue to be able to log-in to eMiles, view your account history, claim previously-redeemed rewards, and communicate with [email protected]

It was mentioned sometime back in the master E-miles thread that they where shutting down. I had 403 points and couldn't find anything to redeem them, only available where minimum of 500 for UA miles. I did a few surveys and in less than 30 minutes I had 517, immediately cashed them in and now I'm left with 17 E-Miles, which will eventually transfer to E-rewards.

Sounds like it. The email I got goes on to say:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
As an existing member of the e-Rewards Opinion Panel (our sister company), any eMiles Points that you have not redeemed by June 15, 2018 will be loaded into your e-Rewards account (associated with this e-mail address) on or before June 29, 2018, in the amount of $0.05 in e-Rewards Currency, for each remaining eMiles Point.

The redemption I've made for Amazon gift card had not been fullfiled and the help line does not respond.
Might be safer just to let the points to transfer to e-rewards.

Oh well
I stopped using the both of them years ago after e-rewards would waste my time repeatedly. After answering several hundred questions over 30 minutes, in the final demographic questions I would answer "caucasian" or "male" and the survey bot would respond, "We have already met enough responses from your demographic group, so no points for you."
It's probably better that I found better uses for my time than making 25 cents an hour filling out surveys.

I second that. Another good way to not get kick out is agreeing to practically everything they ask, you have kids, you are planning on buying a car, you do all the shopping/financial/phone/insurance/etc decision in your household.
