I got a $5 survey last night and converted a $50 award....whew!
To those thinking of closing the account...you could refuse to do surveys and just get enough emails every year for the free Blockbuster award.

I forgot that you get upwards of 25 cents for receiving e-mail, right?

Wow! I finally found where it said that you could only redeem for AA miles once a year. It is buried in the membership agreement.
There is not such entry for Northwest Airlines - which is weird since even the ones with no limits on redemptions say just that.
So what do you think the policy is for Northwest?

Redemption Limitation: Redemption of this reward is limited. A WorldPerks account holder may claim only one Northwest Airlines reward per calendar year.

Some improvement
I'll be cancelling my account as soon as I cash in the last of my rewards.

BUT EVERYBODYS WORST FEARS HAVE COME TRUE.

So I was wondering how many of you were serious about quitting on e-Rewards. Personally, I just reached the next level for rewards ($50) and cashed in for HHonors points. As soon as they post, I am cancelling my e-Rewards account. The once a year redemption of fewer miles just isn't worth my time.
Good luck to those who are staying.

Then again, companies have shown again and again that they don't take the time to do this.
