For me the BA availability's become available in Dec - now trying to redeem a second time. It all goes smoothly until the very last screen, when it throws up the error message. No help from e-rewards CS yet.

Wanted to redeem with Macy's. It was available on Friday (but I still needed some more bucks), but not anymore on Saturday. Rather strange.

I'd been wondering what they did with all the "Answer these Questions to Find a New Survey" answers since they don't seem to serve any purpose in getting me more surveys for which I qualify. They're certainly collecting enough info about where I shop, what diseases I have or don't have, etc.
Yesterday I was asked to check off what stores I'd shopped at in the last 6 months. I checked off Kroger, among others. There are no Krogers anywhere near me but I was visiting family in SC last month.
Right after that my FB feed showed a Kroger ad. Yep, the information is all for sale.

It's bad enough we have to deal with those pointless prescreeners, but have people been noticing a reduced rate for surveys in the past few months? It used to be you'd regularly see $4.25 for 15 minutes or similar, now all the time I'm seeing $0.75 for 6 min or $2.25 for 10 mins. Sometimes it's $0.25 for 3 minutes, the same as the disqualification compensation! My earnings have ground to a halt.

Nice! I'm not generating nearly as much as you, but even so, by putting all of our rewards into BA Avios, my wife and I have now taken 3 domestic US flights completely for free with enough in our accounts to do another 2. And that's before we realized how easily Avios could be used to book AA and other short-haul flights. Before that we were dumping our rewards into either AA or Hilton. Bottom line, we've found E-rewards to be worth the effort overall, despite the frustrations you sometimes encounter.
