E-rewards redemption
 

Well, just today I finally earned enough points to get the first level of prizes. Thankfully, the points were still in my account (according to some other threads, I had until 3/31 before the points expired). Anyway, I took the 1000 Hilton Honors points. It may not be worth much, but I never rent movies, the $25 airline certs are more or less worthless to me, and w/ Hilton I'm saving up for a Hawaii award. So now I'm 1000 points closer. Plus, getting a 1000 points for the GMAC insurance quote, plus updating the profile etc., I'm getting there quicker than I thought I would. tls

I just exchanged $50 e-rewards for 3000 HH points as well..It's amzing that those points posted to my HH account almost instantly!

After spent a few weeks trying to find out which award is best for e-reward money, I think HH is best for me. I don't watch too much movie and I don't ski. So the blockbuster and ski reward to me is a waste.

I used to redeme Hertz certificates but it seems like I can always find better deal through the internet without these certs.

For the airline awards, there are minimum fare requirements and cannot be used on line..

I just have read the expiration policy and understood that my $$ are going to expire in march 2002. I think I will transfer my earnings to my HH account. Do they post them electronically /online or do they send you a paper voucher? Thanx.

I just made this tranfer. I transfered 50$ for 3000 Hilton Hhonors points and those points where posted in my Hilton account within minutes after the transfer had been made. I was very impressed.

How did you get $50 in your account? I checked almost every box there was to check in the profile and it took me almost a year to get $25.00.

I have also almost checked every box in the profile. I guess it also depends on how you answer the emails you get. 50$ in E-rewards isnt so much, I have heard of people way over 100$.

I also have all the boxes checked. But this didn't increase the e-mail I got.

Finally, my e-Rewards balance crossed the $50 threshold this afternoon. As many of you suggested, I *instantly* redeemed it for 3,000 HHonors points. Oh boy, it surely posted fast! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

However, I am not totally satisfied. Firstly, it consumed much more of my effort than AutomallOnline did for the same 3,000 points. Secondly, it was only 3,000 points, not 62K! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

In my case with E-rewards, after I make the initial click thru ("earn more")to get maybe .60 total, if I go back through the same click thru ("earn more") another "earn more" screen will pop up & I'll get another .40 +- for a total of $1.00.
