I stopped doing them because I was nowhere near 500 to cash in. I am not sure what they are going to do, either zero out my account for me to start over with another partner or carry over what I have earned to a new partner. Hence, that is why I did not do any more invites.
If it is the former, then I am done with them, if the latter, they I will resume responding and will also be glad to be rid of the Skypesos. United would be my favored course.
In addition, since e-miles is owned by e-rewards, I would not be surprised to see Delta disappear from that entity, as well.

We (this is Mrs FTF's account) are especially up the creek because her e-rewards invite and account came from e-miles, so she has no useful (airline) e-rewards redemption options except through e-miles. And now with Delta out, we don't know reliably if she'll have anything useful at all for those "rewards" either.

The new redemption chart just sucks..... 400 miles for a worthless $25 Restaurant.com gift card. Amazon gift cards at 600 miles per $10 card. I would have rather had the miles! It takes forever to get the miles, so at $10 a year, I don't think I will waste the time anymore. The 500 Delta miles were worth more in my mind!

Mrs FTF, who is affected by this, received an e-mail that the travel options would be coming "in the spring," which is ridiculous as they plainly could offer them now - I've had them all for more years than I remember.
She's got a ton of miles awaiting redemption, because of course monthly donation miles that usually show up earlier in the month all were held back until 12/31 - one day too late to redeem.
I'm going to write on her behalf to try and find out more, but I'm not expecting a straight or honest answer.

How long does a deposit take? I requested a deposit to Uniited about a month ago, and they still show as pending on e-miles, and have not shown up in my United account yet.

Deposits during a calendar month show up in the first few days of the next calendar month. My January deposits just showed up today, so check your account. They should be there now.

Hopefully the new options come in the early spring. I agree the $400 option is useless, and the Amazon options, while not useless, are overpriced. tls
