Their literature says that they will be adding more redemption options in the future. They did add AA and Ebags in the past year, so that's a start (although they also lost some rewards).

Just redeemed today 5000 hhonors for $75.00, i need some explanation, it was transfered to hilton right away.

If you ultimately want HHonors points, the better deal is to cash in for AA miles and then transfer them into HHonors: double the HHonors points for the same amount of erewards $$$.

You ONLY get the AA miles from erewards if you actually fly on AA within a certain time window, though. So the AA reward is literally worthless if you aren't able to meet that requirement.

... Except that you have to fly AA within 3 months to get the AA miles and possibly have to book at aa.com. Completely useless to those of us who don't fly AA much.

This program is a scam... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mad.gif

Gaucho,
Why are you such a crybaby over this program. Should they continue to give away the moon, given the current economic climate ? In light of most other programs disappearing or not paying up, I think ERewards posts quickly and effeciently. I wish their partnerships would be stronger, but its one of the best ones going right now.
