Next promotion that's not showing up is the Book Direct 2013. I've made four direct bookings since the promo started, but no points posted.

Chasing points at the moment, as I want to cover three weeks holiday accommodation in a year or two's time.
Did you manage to chase the Book direct points promo?

Not as yet.

I've got this weeks stay, a couple of nights next week and then some time away

When I come back I'll see how things are and perhaps ring up.

Quite nice that I've just had 4000 points post from e-rewards

how often do you receive surveys ?

is this for the same brand or do you also receive surveys from programs you are not affiliated to ?

I receive a fair few on average I would say 5 a week, have a qualifying rate of 60-70% on them.

I'm sorry I don't quite follow your second question, but the surveys can be for anything.

The surveys can be about anything (finance, healthcare, what you think of brand x,y or z, Drink, Hotels, consumer electronics - they tend to be tailored to the information you put in.) but I've yet to have survey for or from the supporting brands. I was invited via Virgin Atlantic, but when it comes to choosing your 'reward' it can be points from any of the supporting brands (I choose IHG)

Sorry for the OT post - might be worth searching the forum for further info on e-rewards if interested?

There's an e-Rewards thread in the SPAM folder. I was hoping you were talking about a different point-earning opportunity since my e-Rewards balance shows up in 'dollars'.

I got into the program via Delta- no program pick allowed at sign-up back then. But when Delta left the program at the end of 2012, Delta users got access to all redemption options, so I've been going for PC points this year.

For 2013 at least, PC points from e-Rewards still do count toward elite status for some odd reason.
