I don't think I've used futures again since this thread** so I can't speak to the attitudes of the larger community, but my terminology preference is "future token" and "redeem." I do agree with Shaun though, it probably doesn't matter as long as you communicate it effectively and are consistent.
[**My development focus over the last several years has shifted from pushing boundaries on actor-oriented and messaging systems to figuring out how to refactor, componentize, and deploy an NI-RT application across different target platforms.]
