The Starbucks gift cards are still there for me as well.
I redeemed for Starbucks twice, about 5 & 11 months ago. It sounds like the redemption has really improved, because when I redeemed, it said it would take up to 30 days got get the GC's. However, 30 days came & went without getting the GC (both times), so I had to contact e-rewards. To their credit, they responded promptly to my inquiries, and I got the GC's about a week thereafter (ie, I got a physical card in the mail). I'd much rather have an e-code redeemable on-line, so am glad to see this is now available. bb

Has anyone downloaded the e-rewards mobile app? Is it worth it? I'm not sure why, but for some reason I'm reluctant to put this on my phone, even though I have a bunch of apps on it. tls

I have it... it's a piece of cr@p. I have location services shut off as there were complaints that it used up batteries.
My biggest issue that seems to happen to a lot of people is that it gets "stuck" on a survey and crashes. The only thing that fixes it is to delete and redownload from itunes. However, when it works the surveys are pretty easy and I've earned a few dollars taking them. They are different than the regular surveys you get via email.

I joined e-rewards 2 weeks ago and since then I've cashed out already for 500 AA miles and have enough for another cashout, but they only allow one cashout per 30 day period? Is this per reward or per company per month? I'm close to being able to cash out for 1000 AA miles ($36.00 currently)

I believe all airline redemptions are once per 30 days. Other rewards are once per quarter .... or, sometimes, once per 90 days .... note the difference between those two!
If airline rewards are your first choice (and you don't have an immediate need for a lower reward), you should wait until you have $100 for 2K miles!

Either that, or it would show a survey, but I'd get an error when I clicked on it.
They email occasionally to say there's a "new and improved" version of the app, but I haven't bothered.
