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.

Are the AA certificates transferrable?
You could consider trading one of these for a similar number of miles on an airline you do use.

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).

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.

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.
