E-Rewards reduces number of awards

Yikes!!! Just checked the award levels and it looks like they have been slashed down to almost nothing. The Hilton award doesn't go beyond $50 anymore.

$25 Award Level
1,000 AAdvantage® Bonus Miles from American Airlines
6 Free Rentals from BLOCKBUSTER®
$25 off purchase of $75 or more at eBags
One Free Day on your next Hertz Car Rental
1,000 Hilton HHonors Points

$50 Award Level
2,500 AAdvantage® Bonus Miles from American Airlines
$50 off purchase of $125 or more at eBags
Two Free Days on your next Hertz Car Rental
3,000 Hilton HHonors Points
Free One-Day Lift Ticket valid at Vail, Beaver Creek®, Breckenridge and Keystone®

$75 Award Level
$75 off purchase of $200 or more at eBags

$100 Award Level
$100 off purchase of $275 or more at eBags
Two Free One-Day Lift Tickets valid at Vail, Beaver Creek®, Breckenridge and Keystone®

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).

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.

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.
