Two e-rewards accounts?
 

I joined e-rewards last year through IHG. Now AS have also invited me to join.
Is it possible to join with a different e-mail address, but using the same computer/smartphone?

If you want all those e-mails, join all you want. By the way,what is AS.?

Delete cookies, use an incognito window or use another browser. Maybe you want to avoid using the same IP by doing it from a friends house or Starbucks.

None of that is necessary. I have been managing two accounts on one computer for years, one in my name, one in my spouse's name. Same street address, different email address.

No problem at all.

For reference, I have an account, and my mother has an account. However all of the redemptions from both accounts go into my mileage/points accounts. No issue so far, but then again we have different IP addresses and computers.

Hey, being careful with MO isn't necessary... oops, now we can only swipe twice at a lot of WM. Thanks for being not careful!

While none of what I wrote is necessary yet it might be necessary in the future. You never know when they start to close holes and tighten their rules.

I usually use chrome, so I'll use IE for the second account. Thanks for the advice.

I use the exact same browser for both, and run the surveys immediately one after the other. e-rewards really doesn't care. (Same for e-miles.)

You can have as many accounts as you want as long as you use a different email address:)

Unless they have stopped checking, they claimed that I had a duplicate account (my husband had one as well) using a different email address and wanted to cancel my "accounts."

I had to send them proof he was a different person with a different account.

Since I actually managed his account I made sure I never use the same computer to respond to emails.

This was a while ago, so things may have changed.

have you heard of shutdowns for having 2 accounts? I'm in the same situation as OP.

I have run with two accounts with the same personal details other than email for several years. I believe on was US Airways origin and the other Northwest that was converted to a generic post merger. It has been nearly a year since I've taken a survey as I find them a poor use of time for the reward.

If you use a VPN you can also sign up in different countries and take surveys in different places. The main problem ends up being the 30-day limit on redeeming to the same FF account.

I've had an account shut down when I was using one for Southwest and the other for United.

I think e-miles did in the past. Never used e-rewards heavily since its not worth it for me. It's just a general precaution based on experience.

Some tricks I use with Gmail that might be useful in getting two accounts with the same provider (if you have Gmail):

Dots and capitalization have no meaning. So [email protected] is the same as [email protected] ; and [email protected] is the same as well. They look different but all go to the same inbox/account.

A plus sign at the end of your address is ignored by gmail; everything before the plus is used to figure out where to deliver the message and the plus and everything after is included with the message but ignored for addressing purposes. So [email protected] and [email protected] will both be delivered to [email protected]. You will be able to see the To: address so you'll know where it came from. So you can use it to see who's sold your email address, too. So if you get spam addressed to [email protected] you'll know that Delta shared your address with somebody.

The same ideas might work with other e-mail services, but I'm not aware if they do or do not work for anybody but Gmail.

Using these two, you can sometimes sign up for multiple accounts with the same service. That is if they allows dots and plus signs in the e-mail address you fill out the form with - not all do but quite a few allow them.

Are you sure that [email protected] is the same as [email protected]? I highly doubt that part and my own test didn't verify your statement.

Yes. Gmail strips out all dots from your email address.
