I've gotten approximately 20 emails in the 4 weeks that I've been a member.
It took me 3 weeks (well, 22 days) before I had the $25 to redeem for 550 AA miles.
I got a confirmation of the redemption only a few minutes after I requested it on 2 Dec; I didn't notice them show up in my AA account until today (6 Dec) or 4 days (though on AA they're dated 2 Dec).
I, too, had failed to notice the 'one redemption per year' restriction, though I'm new enough to e-Rewards for it not to matter (I don't think I'll get to my 2nd $25 before the end of this year)...and next year I'll just hold out for $100 before redeeming.

Yes, my NW and HH points post virtually instantaneously. It's terrific. Since my last post on this subject (Dec. 5), I got a 3 week blitz of e-reward surveys. Musta racked up about $75 or so. It's been quiet for nearly a week now. Still, it was great while it lasted. tls

HH points better than airline miles

I just redeemed $100 for 2000 AA miles (a Friday after close of business, east coast time). After redeeming the $, the confirmation screen came up saying "congratulations" etc. and that if my AA miles hadn't been added in 30 minutes, I should email e-rewards. It's been about 2 hours, and they haven't been added. However, I then got a confirmation email, that said that it may take 10 business days to get the miles. Why the inconsistency? Well, no big deal. I can wait the 10 business days ... tls
