Dont know what to do with $209.50 in e-rewards?
 
I have already used the BB movie coupons and HHonors for the time period eligible. Any tips?

Do none of the other awards interest you? I wish I had that much e-reward money. I fly AA, so as soon as I get up to $50 I get the 2,500 mile award. You could always do the $50 magmall award. Then you could renew magazines you already get or sign up for some new ones. It does require a $100 purchase. But their prices are good, so it's a good savings.

I dont travel AA. And I subscribe to most magazines which I like ( about 11 of them ) so thats not attractive too. :(

AA miles are good for more than just flights - including conversion to HHonors points at a 5k to 10k rate...

True, but, OP says she doesn't fly AA and you can't get the FF miles unless you fly.
2,500 AAdvantageŽ Bonus Miles (American Airlines flight required)

Use AA.com to purchase a one-way or round-trip flight on American Airlines, American Eagle, or AmericanConnectionŽ, travel between June 1, 2004 and August 31, 2004 and earn 2,500 AAdvantage bonus miles in addition to any other bonus miles you may qualify for. Miles will be credited after travel is completed. Bonus miles do not count toward elite status qualification. Bonus will be posted within 3-4 weeks after flight activity is posted to the traveler's AAdvantage account. Bonus applies to person traveling. No registration is required. This offer is not valid in conjunction with AAdvantage Award travel.

You could always extend those subscriptions.

Oops. Sorry for not reading the fine print - (ok - not so fine print)

Are the AA certificates transferrable?

You could consider trading one of these for a similar number of miles on an airline you do use.

MeLike2Travel Apr 29, 2004 6:03 pm

Nope, they're not transferable.

debo_nair Apr 30, 2004 8:56 am

Except BB and HHonors most of the others are worthless for me. I dont eat steak ( i eat only chicken) so Omaha certificates are also out of question :(

MeLike2Travel Apr 30, 2004 9:12 am

So basically you're not interested in any of the redemption possibilities, correct? Why don't you just redeem your money for a couple certs (Omaha, magmall, etc.), then trade them on CouponConnection? Since you're not interested in any of the offers, I don't see what else you could do (besides just sit on the money and let it expire).

eBags
 
One can always use more luggage. My $$ are expiring and I just redeemed them for an eBags coupon. I got a code via email to get $75 off, along with a link to eBags, and the purchase was quick and painless.

Mary2e Apr 30, 2004 1:48 pm

I did the ebags redemption once. While I agree it is quick & painless, sale prices and promotions are excluded. Essentially, you can end paying the same or more than if you use ebags own promotions.

This redemption option really isn't worth it either.

I would concur with what Mary has noted. The ebags coupon is worthless when compared to the sales prices. anyway I will sit on this money and redeem before it expires June 30,2004 :eek:

Well, the real problem is...
 
the e-rewards really aren't very good. But then, you already know that. Better hope they come up with some new ones before your points expire. Except for the BB and Hilton redemption offers, the others are yucky.
