I was hovering around 450 for a few weeks, but in the past two weeks, have received enough 5 point click offers to hit 500.

U can make a charitable donation for an instant 100 points. Worthwhile only if it's late in the month & U would donate to that charity anyway. Otherwise the donation is more than the whole 500 points is worth!

Decided to try the Priority Club redemption a few days ago, instead of going the Amazon route. Hopefully all goes smoothly ... tls

Just hit 500 and transferred to IHG. Will cancel once points show up in my IHG account.

How long does it take for the 500 miles to show up? Or has this offer expired early?

Has anyone else noticed a massive decrease in the number of new offers? I think I've had one offer this entire month!

Nope. I still get an average of 5 or 6 per week.

My offers have dwindle. I transferred 500 2 months ago, and have been around 120 or so.

I've managed to collect a whopping 40 points over the course of the last month. What a complete waste of time.

Finally hit 500 miles after about 3 months of clicking 5 miles at a time. Really not a productive use of my time and will be cancelling after they post

I've kept my account for years, primarily because with very little effort (less than 5 minutes/week), I can pick up 1,000 miles or so in a year.

I understand the frustration of lack of earning opportunities and such, but why not just keep the account and check it once a month or so?

Ever Notice?

That when you get a offer in your e-mail and you take a few days to check the offer out it is not showing up on your main page,only the previous offers that want you to donate?

It has happened to me twice these past few weeks.
