Thanks for the heads up. When I checked earlier they hadn't yet become available. I just redeemed for 7k points. tls

Got an offer for an online chat/focus group from a local institution seeking thoughts on possible names for its new initiative. $100

Interestingly, the eRewards site, after I'd qualified, said that it was worth $100 in eRewards. But the email received from the company with the login info for the chat said that a check for $100 would be mailed to me.

Will be interesting to see which it is (or if I have to badger eRewards about this).

I participated in the same event. I think it will be E-Rewards, not a mailed check. They probably use multiple resources for survey results with others receiving cash payment. I'm guessing they forgot to change the language for the E-Rewards participants.

You must be right. My e-Rewards account is $100 richer. Wish you could redeem for Hertz more than once a quarter.

I don't know what you have in mind, but my "trick" is to click on the e-mailed survey invitation links a second time about I finish doing the surveys that I initially got offered and sometimes I get a fresh set of surveys. YMMV.

A variant "trick" is to first click on the survey invitation link using my iPad and do the surveys that I am offered and then click again on the invitation link using a different devices, such as my laptop. Frequently, this results in me getting a fresh set of surveys. But I am not sure whether this would have happened anyway had I used the same device for both clicks, since as my first paragraph notes, you sometimes get more surveys after a second click even when the same device is being used both times.

Periodically, the e-Rewards logged-in home page will have survey offers waiting for you -- surveys that never got an e-mail invitation sent. So it always pays to check it after completing a batch of surveys that came via an e-mail link.

If I had to guess, I'd say a good 30-40% of the surveys that I take on e-Rewards are those taken immediately following a survey that I actually received an e-mail about - and these surveys do not appear on your dashboard.

I'm betting this has already been asked, but I am not having any luck with search, so apologies in advance.

Is it possible to redeem e-Rewards into someone else's hotel or airline account? For example, could I redeem e-Rewards into my wife's AAdvantage account? Thanks!

Edit: Just read the fine print (at least for British Air):
Both the e-Rewards program account first and last name and the Executive Club account must be exactly the same name.

Bummer.

Email saying Redeem for Hilton Honors Points

I guess enough people complained about HHonors points not being available - I just received an email saying I should redeem my eRewards for HHonors points. I just did that for 7,000 a few weeks ago so I'm guessing they are just reacting to people asking about them and letting everyone know they are available :-) .

I've been saving up my eRewards points to cash in for 2,000 FlexPerks points after the beginning of the year. I've redeemed this reward several times in the past on this account. I checked today, and eRewards has removed the FlexPerks redemption option from my account.

After doing a little research, I know that FlexPerks is currently offered as a redemption option for others.

I am not a happy camper.

I did $30 exchange for 1000 elite qualifying IHG Points (which should be called Priority Club Points), and it arrived in my account in 3 days. I'm happy with that! ^
