I gave up on eRewards when they cut the mileage awarded in half (used to be $50 = 2000 miles instead of $100 = 2000 miles). 
Even worse was that they had the audacity to tell me that it was an enhancement to the program for my own benefit

Honestly...
I have to say it's been my experience that e-rewards is a "breath of fresh air" in these type of online promotions...I always get credit, never have to fight or argue, and SOME of the rewards I find have value (blockbuster, hilton, and the airline rewards). As opposed to mypoints which i've "purged" myself of, I don't have to copy screens and keep track. All in all, it's been my experience that this program, e-rewards, actually stands out and does deliver. no complaint here.

Now I could be wrong, but didn't they also drop the requirement of taking a flight to get credit, and then waiting to reconcile the flight credit with the e-rewards benefit, when they lowered the miles awarded? I seem to recall folks complaining that the previous (albeit more rewarding) set-up was a pain.

I originally signed up with e-rewards through a Delta invite long, long ago. Never did earn enough to redeem with Delta before they left (had my preferences set all wrong). I've since redeemed for Hilton several times. I'm glad to see DL back in the mix, I may actually get to redeem for DL after all.
Going to the site tonight, I see the DL awards are "Out of Stock", prior to the new year they were "Coming in Jan 2006". Have they already "sold-out" of rewards three days into the new year, or have they not yet become available?
