Yep. SSI surveys for IHG arw not elite qualifying, but erewards are.

No matter, I needed 1200 points for an IHG redemption, and then suddenly got an invite to join their survey panel. Instant 1000 points, and the other 200 were easy enough.

For SSI surveys, I prefer jetblue points. I can spend 5 minutes a day to get 100 points. Also not elite qualifying.

However leclub accor points from SSI are elite qualifying, but there is no credit for not qualifying.
