Reminder for e-rewards
 

As a reminder, use your 2001 balance by March 31 or you'll lose 75% of it.

I am currently at $42, of which $34 is my last year balance. If I cannot get to $50, I'll have to redeem for $25 at the end of the month and forgo $6.75.

Thanks, PG! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm currently actually on the redeem page and yet I just can't decide what to go for at the $100 level:

$100 Award Voucher for Hertz Car Rental

$100 Off Certificate from United Airlines

Two Free One-Day Lift Tickets valid at Vail, Beaver Creek®, Breckenridge and Keystone®

7,500 Hilton HHonors Points

---

Any advice for someone just over the $100 level? WHat looks tobe good or bad? Any experiences worth relating? Anyone? Thanks! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I received one e-reward email today and one yesterday. Doubt that pace will keep up, but if so, you may get to $50. Good luck. tls

Guess I'm doing something wrong... with all of the interests checked, I will barely (hopefully) get to $25 by the deadline!

That said, I will probably go for the Hilton points.

There are two other rewards: Blockbuster and Delta, and while neither of them are at the $100 level, you could combine those awards with the other four.

The only one I've redeemed so far is Hertz. With Hertz you do not get a refund on any unused balance, and also you cannot combine the gift certificate with any other coupon, so the effective value of the gift certificate is somewhat reduced.

OK- I have no idea how I did it (although I signed up for e-rewards very early on), but as of today, when I made $, I have $197.25. This was seriously helped by 2, $50 e-rewards I received several months ago.
In my mind, most of the rewards are useless... yet I still continue to strive for more.
I have 26 days to get 3 more e-mails, so I can top off at $200 and redeem.
My thought is that since the Delta, United and Hertz rewards all have restrictions, and I rarely rent Blockbuster movies, I think I'll put the miles in my rarely used Hhonors account, which I'll ultimately transfer to Delta miles.

Yes, the Delta, United and Hertz rewards all having restrictions and the 7,500 HHonors points being of seeming limited relative value, at least to me, has me somewhat paralyzed, I'm afraid!

My wife went for the Blockbuster Award previously, I believe, and she just gave it as a gift to another family member.

How did you all get so much in your account? I am at a measly $14.15. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have made sure to answer all of the emails and even proceeded to click on the link to get more e-rewards. Ok. Fess up. What's the secret here? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

While I have never rec'd any 50$ e-mails, I have rec'd a 5$-one a couple of times, and, of course, a lot of 1$-ones.

I have responded to a lot of their offers as I find them valuable or needed-purchases anyways.

If I was running e-rewards, I would send more offers to those who respond positively to the value of offers which are available and to those who actually purchase more (i.e. follow through to the end with a transaction). Sooooo, if they think like me then you might possibly have an answer as to why some get more e-mails than others.

By the way, today I rec'd 3 offers. Nothing for a week and then 3 in row. Go figure.

Got points ? Got smiles !

I have no idea how I got so many. Like I said, I got 2, $50 e-mails, which took about 15 minutes each, but clearly worth it. But I've also been enrolled for at least a year, so it's added up nicely. However, like I said, I have all these $$$, and nothing to spend them on!

Thank you for the notice! I didn't know there was any expiration date. I have slowly been trying to make my way to $50.00, but will have to settle for less rather than lose 75%

Guaranteed way to get more e-mails from
e-rewards.

I recently decided that due to the lack of offers from e-rewards I'd received and less free time to spend on the web, I'd just delete the e-mails as they/if they ever did come in again. Slow internet connections thru earthlink added to the frustration but that's another story in itself. Once I started deleting the e-reward e-mails, they began to multiply like rabbits! Started getting them every week. Now I wish I'd responded to some of these over the past three months, maybe I'd have enough to redeem for a movie rental or two.

I have $93.95 -- I hope I get 8 more to push me over $100. I'm thinking that the Hertz cert would be a helpful thing for me right now, as the airlines have killed the car certs.

***Fingers Crossed*** for ten more bucks before the end of the month!! Im at $60
