I would rather not wait till 8,000 points because of the rolling expiration of points by E-Rewards.

(emphasis mine)

It appears UK e-Rewards is using point system, not the regular dollar incentive. But according to e-Rewards UK Reward Centre, BA isn't listed as a sponsor/partner. They do have bmi though. dreamwks, I assume you are referring to the UK site (from your profile)? If so, do you mean bmi miles?

For future reference, if you specify what e-Rewards country/site you use, the U.S.-based FTers won't get as confused. You know the majority of FTers in this e-Rewards gig are members of their US program and only familiar with dollars system.

As a general rule of thumb, you can only redeem e-Rewards incentive by the levels the site offers. Since there's no 6K-point level, you cannot do partial redemption. Just like the US program, there are only 3 levels ($25, $50 & $100) for miles. One can't do one $75 redemption. However, it's possible to get two rewards ($25+$50), if no rule is broken, timeframe-wise.
