My first set for 1000 points have posted, still pending though. The second one I submitted for 1750 still haven't posted. Don't know if I have a third offer yet though.

As stated earlier, points and/or purchases are starting to show up at Mypoints
for the earlier (Sep) opensky promotion.
Looks like the big purchases (> $250/item ?) are showing up but without
points yet. The smaller purchase items are posting with points already.

FWIW, Open Sky is now showing up in my e-Miles offers list at 10 e-Miles per $ with a 5000 mile maximum. Not sure if it's a better or worse deal than the MyPoints Open Sky offers right now.

You would have to spend $500 with e-Miles to get the full 5000 MP miles. Using MyPionts, you would have to earn 10,100 MyPoints to get 5000 MP miles. To get 10,100 MyPoints with the current OpenSky offer of 50 points per $, you would have to spend $202. So the MyPoints offer is better.

Thanks for the calculation for best deals. I haven't been shopping through MyPoints and don't have a good mental picture of the value per point for that program. (I just click the e-mails that still offer 5 points.)
One other thing is that e-miles may have a redemption option that's better for different people. United doesn't have much of a useful presence in my area, while Delta (my e-miles pick) does.

I am still waiting for 5000 MP miles to post. A previous 5000 mile order posted to the MileagePlus account in 10 days, this last one is taking more than 20 days now.

In the latest OpenSky news, I just got an e-mail from SwagBucks saying they've got a short term 40 Swagbucks/$1 promotion, which is about 30-35 cents per dollar if you cash out for Southwest GCs. (No mileage redemption offers there at this time though.)

Well the additional 1750 points posted yesterday. They took longer than the 1000 on the prior offer. I submitted the third Huggies offer yesterday, so we will see how long it takes for those to post.

Is anyone else having problems with surveys? I have noticed that when I get disqualified based on demographics, instead of reverting back to the home page and getting 10 points, the screen times out or stalls until I am forced to refresh and I get nothing.
