As far as I recall, the only welcome gift may have been a sign-up bonus of some amount of e-Rewards "cash." I've made redemptions in the past and have never seen this bonus reward before.

One of the accounts I registered for had a "welcome" bonus of 500 FC miles. I registered that through a PCR invite and also got some bonus PCR points.

I just found a promo for free USAir miles in my e-Rewards account and I hadn't seen any mention of it.
I went to redeem $25 in e-Rewards for 500 USAir miles. On the USAir rewards page, there was an option for a FREE redemption reward of 500 miles. Free as in no cost in e-Rewards cash - zero, bupkis, nada.
I used that redemption option and received a confirmation email.

Do you mean that one of the entries in a pull down menu under the "rewards by company" was "Free 500 Bonus Points"? Or did you have to click on the HH to see this bonus?

Normally they do. If you sign through Alaskan invite, you'll have only Alaskan air and all other non-ailine partners (hotels and gift cards) available for redemption.

Lunardream, I had that same problem when I tried to access a British-based e-r account from the USA. I've heard from other FTers that when the country of IP address of the computer UR using is different from the country of the e-r account, it generates that 'expired' message.

***UPDATE*** I got an email today indicating that I was credited for that survey. Indeed, I got my $12.00 into the account.

Well, quite often it generates "expired" message for me too and I'm in US. They try to reply to me with this foreign IP solution crap. But they missed this time since I wasn't accessing those surveys from overseas. I replied and never heard from them again. Meanwhile, I completed a full survey on 09/02 for $12.00 and never had it posted. E-mailed twice. No reply yet.

No opportunities in years
[Sorry if this has been covered before!]
I haven't gotten e-rewards opportunities in YEARS, literally.
What should I do??
I tried changing my email preferences, making some changes here and there on my profile... but nothing..
Should I just cancel and hope I get another invitation somehow? I received one from US Airways recently.. But I prefer not to cancel since it appears my account is not linked with any airline in particular...
