Just saw this on the etour site:

"REWARDS UPDATE: (6/26/01):

As of May 17, 2001, the eTour website is now a part of Ask
Jeeves, Inc. Ask Jeeves will continue to bring you the same
service eTour has provided, bringing you great sites on the
Web matched to your interests. Ask Jeeves is committed to
ensuring member satisfaction so, while the TourPoints
program will be discontinued after August 27, 2001, Ask
Jeeves has secured two options for you to redeem your
TourPoints prior to this date. You can take advantage of
either or BOTH TourPoint redemption opportunities.

Qool.com - the Internet's first and only "free auction" site

Qool.com is an Internet rewards site where you can earn
QoolCoins, a special currency that can be used to bid for Palm
Pilots, magazine subscriptions, and thousands of other
products through Qool's free online auctions. Qool.com has
agreed to convert EACH of your TourPoints into an equal
number of QoolCoins. That's right. It's free. Bid without money.


Ebates - more than you bargained for
Ebates is a shopping portal that will offer TourPoint members a
$15 cash reward on any purchase from Ebates' retailers,
including JCrew and Buy.com. Your $15 is IN ADDITION to the
cash rewards already offered on the Ebates site! This offer is
available EXCLUSIVELY for eTour members. Be sure to take
advantage of it! (Limit: one redemption per member).

Between now and August 20, 2001, you may also continue to accrue
TourPoints that can be redeemed for QoolCoins."

I was SO hoping that I would get those GCs I already redeemed for--ugh!

Ugh! I don't use ebates, and I hate qool coins. I have won several auctions and they NEVER send the stuff or answer the emails!

Well since Qool is not open to Canadians I guess we are sort of out of luck.

What terrible options! I have absolutely NO interest whatsoever in either of them! I mean,, what kind of a reward is a Chance to bid on something you may or may not get, or a rebate on something I don't really want to buy! It seems to me like they've added insult to injury here. I'm really disappointed, can you tell. OK, I'll stop sulking now. After all, I'd already sort of resigned myself to getting nothing anyway.
