Especially when you can hit a fair number of five minute surveys on Opinion Miles Club that give you 50 actual UA miles.

Got my first survey of the year completed today. Pay wasn't much but it was just enough to cash out for another 4K IHG points. Now to see if they still post as elite-qualifying in 2014...

The quarterly bonus for former Delta participants posted in my account today. I think that's the last one of those.

Been getting a lot of surveys for the UK Avios program, but it has been showing expired the last week only. I've tried multiple proxies on hidemyass, the anonymox firefox addon, but no dice.
Haven't been able to do a single survey. Any suggestions?

I use my iPhone and pay $2.99/ month for Surfeasy VPN app. Works flawlessly and erewards alone pays for the fee given all the extra surveys I get to take that I wouldn't otherwise be able to (for US & UK based surveys, as I'm currently in South America!)

Has anyone recently redeemed e-Rewards currency for a Starbucks gift card? I'm wondering how long it typically takes to arrive in the mail. The confirmation e-mail said it takes up to 30 days -- is that a generous estimate or about on target?

I've redeemed for Starbucks gc's twice. When you redeem, it says it will take up to 30 days. However, both times I redeemed, the gc's did not come within 30 days, and I was forced to contact e-rewards. After contacting them, I did get the gc's fairly quickly (maybe a week). So it was a pain in the neck, but I did get them. tls

I no longer see USAir miles as a possible redemption in e-rewards. When did that disappear? I wonder if it's as a result of the merger. I was planning on redeeming $25 just to extend the expiration date of my miles, but that's no longer an option for me. tls
