I have a friend who wants to spend his Erewards $$, but has really limited options (compared to mine). I presume from reading here that it depends on who you sign up your account with, but I also read that by crossing a balance threshold more options open up.
Is there any way to open more options for my friend?

+1 here. I've been doing e-rewards for years, have gotten up as high as $200 before redeeming, and none of my redemption options have ever been expanded.

One of my accounts sits at $465 right now. Same options there as were there last year when I had under $25. Nothing changes, except sometimes they add and subtract partners as contracts expire or re-up. Been with E-rewards since 2001.

Your e-Rewards Bonus (for inactivity)
After not having time to click on any survey links for the past month and a half, I just received a $3.00 credit with "no strings attached". Actually, there were strings - I had to complete a very short internal survey about why I'd been inactive.

Just curious, how come you're holding $465 instead of depositing at least $100 of it, since 100 is the max deposit?

E-Rewards
I'm just curious what people feel is the best value for $100 of e-rewards points. In the past, I've chosen Hilton. Yesterday i saw Priority Club up there but now it's gone. Also saw they just added Hertz. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is anyone getting a lot of catalogs and junk mail in the mail as a result of using e-rewards? I did a consumer electronics survey once and I'm getting tons of electronics catalogs. Having more trash is not a huge deal, but I'm just concerned about privacy.
I'm starting to think it's too much trouble for not much return... Some surveys take as long as 40 minutes to complete, most 20 minutes.

I am interested in getting 2 X $100 e-rewards currency for transfer to 2 of my household's HHonors accounts. I can offer AMEX membership reward points which can be transferred to many airlines/hotel points (it can be transferred to hhonors as well but the ratio is bad). If any of you guys are interested, I have a relevant thread in Coupon Connection(CC). If you don't have access to CC, please PM me directly. Thanks.
