e-Rewards stinks. I somehow allowed myself to get sucked into this about two years ago, thinking it'd be the easiest way to collect "free" HH points and AA miles. Figuring the value of my time, they were the most expensive points/miles I ever bought! The other "rewards" you can get from the site are worthless - Hertz offers that are worse than what you can get just by browsing Hertz.com, heavily-restricted discounts to online merchants that charge way over best-available prices for various goods, etc. I suppose the heavily-restricted Blockbuster rentals have theoretical value...if you live next to a Blockbuster and enjoy visiting a physical video store.
I got a couple of Blockbuster rentals (I didn't realize how heavily-restricted they were until after I redeemed them) and a few thousand HH points out of the deal and added e-Rewards to my spam filter. I'm done with it.
