I have about $24.50. I'm hoping I can earn the remaining .50 I need to redeem a Hilton award before the rapidly approaching expiration.

Have you tried some of the "earn now" earns? Some of them (like the HP for $1) post immediately!

Well I've been sitting at $19.15 for months and months now. It looks as though I'll have to do an Earn Now thing to get enough for a decent reward.

The easiest looks like Skill Jam, for a $10 reward. I could cancel before a month is over and all it costs is $1.50, which seems minimal to get 1,000 honors points (that is, if I don't get to $25, I don't get the HH points).

The only Earn Now rewards available to me, since I've done the easiest are:
Reward TV for $2;
Internet Security Bundle for $6 (this would be fine but it's McAfee and I already have Norton...don't really want to download this);
FedEx Kinko's, $1;
ConsumerInfo.com, $5 (I'm already signed up with a credit-monitoring service)
On-Call Vacations, $1
Skill-Jam, $10
and
Real, $5

Has anyone signed up for any of these and what was your experience when trying to cancel?

Well, no luck on my request for my currency to be rolled over. I have over $150 and really not many options for redemption(I have already redeemed my AA award and can not do Hilton for another month). The following is an excerpt from their reply...
Good Morning

Thank you for contacting e-Rewards. Unfortunately, it will be necessary
for you to redeem your points to prevent them from expiring.

Our marketing team is currently searching for new redemption options
however we are trying to offer only sponsors with stable reputations and
trying to work out some better offers for our members. We hope this is
something that will fall into place in the very near future. We will
certainly forward your comments to our marketing department so that they
are aware of your concerns.

We are happy to say that we just added Continental Airlines to our list
of distinguished sponsors. We also added Pier 1 Imports and Steak and
Ale.



I won't be wasting my time on their surveys for the next month....

I've never received the email previously. BUT, I've never had so many opportunities to redeem.

In the last 2 months, between my husband & I, we've redeemed for CO and DL miles, as well as HH points. My husband was down to $5, and I was at about .10 at the beginning of June.

Perhaps those of us who received the email were redeeming our points recently. In the past, I was always waiting for $50 to be able to redeem for Hilton. Since adding CO & DL, not only am I receiving more surveys, but I'm redeeming more also.

I was about to give up, usually in past yrs I got the Email at the Beginning of the Month.

was gonna cash out for 2000 CO miles, now I can wait and get the Hilton Pts

Thanks for the heads up. I got the email a few days ago, and I'm glad about that because I have about $120 or so in my account, and can't redeem until August for HH points. My expiration was a few days before I could redeem again as well.

What is the policy on redeeming for airline miles? Can you only do so so often? If you redeem for one airline, say AA, and had to wait to do it again, could you redeem for another like NWA during the AA waiting period?

Basically, should I save up to do it all at once, or just go agead and get a smaller amount of miles and go bit by bit?

Thanks.

The current rules seem to be a given airline only once per year. You could redeem for multiple airlines, but only once per airline per year.

yeah i unfortunately learned that after redeeming for only 500 miles I guess I was too excited when it first came out. But it's okay I still redeem for HH points every 90 days ^

I wonder the benefit to E-R of limiting airline redemptions to once per year?

Can someone please post the address for this reward program?

They roll me over every year.

Welcome to FT!
http://www.e-rewards.com

Thanks for that and the welcome - there is sooo much info on these boards.

I thought that was the sight, but the sight says about points and people here are talking about $, so got a little confused. Can't seem to join in at the moment though (trying the UK portal - want to sign up with BMI, although I do have an AA card too).

Thanks for the welcome.

Thought I had posted a reply to this already, but can't seem to see it now! \

Has anyone managed to sign up for e-rewards recently - I am trying from the UK portal and it won't invite me.
