Thanks for the heads up Kathy. I was wondering why my points haven't transferred to E-Rewards yet, as I can still log in to my E-Miles accounts and the points are still showing up.

It was strange, but when I went last night to the "Wallet" section to see if the ecode for U$30 in Amazon credit was already available (it was and it's already on my Amazon account) I saw that the only thing they had to redeem were UAs Mileage Plus points starting at 500 eMiles... Wonder if someone who is under that FFP could still redeem remaining eMiles into them (as of 2 July 18).

If you choose not to join e-Rewards, you can still redeem any un-redeemed eMiles for MileagePlus Frequent Flyer Miles until June 14, 2019, as long as you meet the minimum thresholds for redemption.

E-miles had told those of us who have e-Rewards accounts that "on June 29, 2018, your eMiles will be converted into e-Rewards Currency." However, June 29 has come and gone and it hasn't happened yet.
But I received another e-mail (dated June 29) from them. This one says: "You’ll now receive any owed eMiles Points in your e-Rewards account by July 13, 2018. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience as we focus on completing the conversion to your satisfaction."

And thus ends the saga of e-miles...it had some better days, but was undone by a fatally bad site redesign and a terminal decline in customer service. At the end there was only one mourner at the lonely funeral...e-rewards.

I redeemed the $50 for 1000 United MP miles last night and it posted this morning! I had tried to redeem to United when it was still in E-miles but it failed and re-deposited the money back to the e-miles account, luckily. So that's why the dollars got transferred to E-rewards, and I'm pleased to see the redemption worked for E-rewards.
