But E-rewards money is fake money. Think of it as 2500 "points" for 3000 HHonors points. It doesn't cost anything to do E-Rewards surveys (except time).

I think it's a great program except for the expiration policy and limited awards. In other words, it's great for a free 12,000 HHonors points/year.
