Man oh man! I guess I'm lucky then. I redeemed for HH on Nov. 4 & marked my calendar for Feb. 2--3 (90--91 days later) when I could redeeem again! I reached ER$100 in mid-Jan. & prayed the award would not be cut out. I got a 'sorry too soon' msg. on Feb. 2 but a 'yes' on Feb. 3.
Now I have ER$47 & my calendar is marked for May 5. If ER does pull the HH award, I shall grab 1000 DL as soon as I hit $50 & GOODBYE! I find many of their surveys to be a tedious PITA anyway, asking the same thing with minor differences 10 times over.
Foxberg, I value 1 PC = 1.5 HH, so 4K PC would be almost as good, but I have just Cracked My Case + gotten the new Visa bonus + earned 3 Sweet Dilemma nights, so I have PC out the wazoo now! Choice Priv. or LaQuinta, anyone??

I, too, am sorry to see HH go as I've earned over 50K points in the past four years. However, I too have found that eRewards has declined during the time I've been a member and will probably terminate my membership once I get to the $50 threshold. cheers!

Since my last redemption in August I have accumulated around $600 in my accounts. If I redeem them now I will have around 30K PCR, but I'm waiting for another Double Partner promotion.

I just sent ER an email thanking them for earlier missing credits & asking,
"How long will Hilton points remain Out Of Stock?? My friends & I are concerned it may be permanent!" I shall report their response 2U all!

I have used E-rewards for just two items. The Hilton award for 7,000 points was what I liked best. I also did the U S Air during their grand slam each year. If Hilton doesn't return I will greatly reduce my participation in the program.

Regarding the 90 day HHonors redemption limits, has anyone successfully deposited HHonors points from a second e-reward account in a 90 day period to a single HHonors account? Or does it block the number?

E-Rewards will not allow more than 1 Hilton Hhonors redemption every 90 days either to:
the same Hilton account from two different E-Rewards accounts
or
two different Hilton accounts from the same E-Rewards account
I've tried both and they both fail!
