Last night I received a $2 offer, all you have to do is sign up for a Blockbuster newsletter and the $ posted instantly. It's been very slow for me as well lately; I used to get 2-3 a day now it's, at the most, 1/week. I'm at $97.75 and counting down the cents to $100. I wonder if those companys for whom they do surveys have pulled their business--perhaps the data received wasn't reliable!

Thanks for the heads up ^
But yes, I did know that fact. I posted that back a few weeks ago... I had cashed out for the 1000 miles for a flight, the day before the change... and I thought it would take forever to get to $100 after that. But now I'm at $80-something... and as soon as I hit $100, THEN I'll cash out with 2000 and be done with e-rewards.
They really should institute the two-tiered awards (non-flying bonus AND bonus miles for flights).

Got two surveys a day apart this week, and after taking them, redeemed my e-Rewards for some HHonors points. After a very slow past six months, the emails are coming a bit more frequently, so things are looking up. The automatic redemption feature put the HHonors points into my account immediately.

Just went to the rewards page, clicked on the HHonors reward, entered my HHonors number and pin, and within five minutes the HHonors points were in my account, along with a confirming email from eRewards. That's about as "automatic" as it can get. No waiting, no forms or certs to mail in. Almost instantaneous.

It's been slow lately but once you get your demographics in (by using Earn More links) it will come as feast or famine.
As it is, I only do the AA miles AND HHonors points and by the time the every-90-day limit comes up, I have more money than I need.
Just give it time, you'll make "money" faster than you can spend it.

But the interesting thing is that now I've "cashed" out & my balance is way down, I'm back to receiving e-reward emails daily again! One would have to believe that there is something in their system that flags high balances and slooowwss down the emails.....
