Man, I didn't realize how much e-rewards currency I have. I seem to be a hoarder I have almost $750 in currency. What to do what to do! Any suggestions?

How often are people getting survey notices. I use to get 2-3 a day and now nothing. Heck I'm even an honest survey taker and spend time on them. It seems like they stopped after I redeemed my first reward, which I know you can only do once a month.

I'll get about 3 every two weeks, and my demographics aren't particularly attractive.
If you redeem for PC points, they apparently do count toward status for the year.

Between the Mrs and I we still get 3-4 a week - but rarely get past the qualifying point - and more often than not lately as soon as the email arrives with a survey it's already gone - or it says we've done it already. I normally get enough on my account to redeem for 7,000 HH points 3 times a year.

Its really weird, I got maybe 3-4 surveys that first week of registration, after that, nothing. My mother on the other hand gets about 5 surveys a week. I've made $1.50 total since my account opening 2 months ago and she's at $88.00 in which I made her open the account last month. We both make up random answers... Maybe she just got lucky.

You know, I don't really know. I've been a member of e-rewards since September 2007 and I guess I don't redeem much! I used to save them up to help count towards Priority Club elite status, but now that I have the PC credit card, that isn't needed (oh, and their change of the elite qualification rules).
I usually try to wait for partner offers from airlines (e.g., 25% bonus on all partner points earned, Grand Slam, etc.) but there hasn't been much of that.
Just the other day I realized my large balance and thought I should start cashing it in...but I can't decide on what I want to do.

If you're planning any multi-leg trips to Europe and have the $100 for 3,000 Iberia Avios option, that might be a good deal for you. Seems like the one area the Avios get good reviews are for low miles cost intra-Europe flights.

Most of my transfers usually take a few days. I transferred into UA for one account and Hertz for another over a week ago and still do not have anything yet.

Mystery $23 showed up in my account today. I'm assuming it was from the Delta transition bonus deal. I also noticed that there is no redemption limit for PC points, so have decided to see if I can get myself Gold status for the year solely by answering surveys.
