E-Rewards
 

So I just got this e-mail from United asking if I wanted to sign up for E-Rewards, which allows me to earn "dollars" toward rewards on United, Hertz, Blockbuster, Vail Resorts, etc. I had to fill out a lengthy (and I mean lengthy) questionnaire so I could receive my free gift. What's the free gift? A free rental at Blockbuster (with the purchase of a rental). Not much of a gift! But hopefully this will be another way for me to get additional travel treats on United. We'll see.

There's different opinions on whether it's worth it:

I vote for the it's worth it, I get a survey or two a month, they never take more then three minutes or so, and the money just grows and grows. It's one of the easiest ways to make money for doing very close to nothing online.

Of course, my gift was a $25 certificate from Delta, so it was a much easier choice to sign up.

The only problem is they don't send enough offers. I got about 2 per week for the first 6 weeks, now it is very sporadic. Haven't received one in over 2 weeks.
