Does anyone have any experience transferring points to HHonors? I need a few points to top up my account for a redemption, and I'm wondering how long it will take points I just transferred to show up in my account.

It can take up a month or so.

As am I. As someone who joined e-miles via Delta, I still have no travel redemption options on this site. While I would prefer to redeem for SkyMiles, I'd be more than okay being able to redeem for United, US, or American. Shoot, I'd redeem for HHonors points at this point.

Someone a few pages ago mentioned emailing e-miles. Anyone know the email address offhand? It's sad that one can't easily find that on the web site itself -- but given that one can't earn MILES on a site called e-miles, I guess I shouldn't be surprised!

is there an e-miles mobile app? I see ads promoting "e-miles is now mobile" with a picture of an iPhone app. I can't find it anywhere.

Morning,

I just received the following from MileagePlus United :

Welcome to e-Miles
Get started earning award miles today!



You can now enroll in e-Miles and earn miles that can be deposited into your United MileagePlus� account, simply by reading and responding to marketing messages that are relevant to you. It's free and it's easy.

Receive 350 MileagePlus award miles when you join and activate your e-Miles account by 4/15/2013
Plus, earn an extra 100 e-Miles miles after you join and complete your profile

Is it worth it to join and can I transfer any points towards my United Account? I was reading the thread before submitting this post and it seems things have changed since 2007,but I want to make sure,from your input if it is worth my time.

Amazon and Restaurant.com are really not a big deal to me,since I have used Restaurant.Com before and even though it has somewhat of a small value,I do not see the big deal,as for Amazon, I hardly buy from there.

Thanks for your time.

Normally, points will be in your account within minutes of pushing the transfer button. The rules, however, state that it could take up to a month as someone stated above.

You will earn E Reward dollars for every survey you complete and once you hit $25 you'll be able to transfer it to UA for 500 miles. $50 most likely will get you 1000 miles. There may be amounts for $75 and $100 as well. Each program has it's own rules and other rewards options. Some programs have only one deposit per 30 days while others make you wait 90 days to make more deposits.

I use E rewards to keep some of my accounts active.

Thanks for the information,If you were me,would you do it or no,not worth it?

Salmontes is asking about e-miles, not e-rewards.
I find e-miles to accrue at the rate of about 500 per 8 month once past the sign-up bonuses, if only clicking on the 5 point offers. A few accounts receive more lucrative surveys.


In answer to Kay_nyc, no, transfers to HH are not instant (they are from e-rewards), they occur on the first day of each month.

I made a mistake. E-miles is good for keeping an account active and the miles post in about a month. If you already earn many UA miles, than it may not be worth it to join E miles.

Hey Salmontes,

It's worth it if you have a little time to kill. I signed up for it and emiles instantly gives you 200 miles in the EMILES account. You can only transfer emiles to MileagePlus once you hit 500 miles in your EMILES account. To do this you have to answer a bunch of survey questions.

Remember, when you answer these survey questions, be interested in EVERYTHING so they will send you more surveys.

I earned 550 EMILES in less than a week and so I transferred the 500 emiles to my MileagePlus account. It took 4 weeks before actually posting to my MP account.

Now i just need 450 more emiles so I can do another transfer but like the previous poster said, the surveys are coming in at a VERY SLOW rate now and I get about one survey/week earning probably 5-30 emiles a week more or less. Also I think if i forget to check, the offers go away.

Another thing to remember, sometimes they give you extra emiles if you sign up for stuff, remember to click on the link to sign up for the offer (but give fake email addresses and addresses and it actually works most of the time).

I've been doing e-Rewards for 18 months and find it worthwhile, but I'm new to eMiles. It seems like to get miles you have to "answer a few questions" after you click on the links, in which they ask you for your personal information including email, address etc. Looks like signing up for a lot of spam for a measly 5 miles. Am I missing something?

I have been doing both erewards and emiles (no job at the moment, lol) and you'll find that the questions and surveys asked are VERY similar. If they want you to sign up for promos for extra miles, as I said in the previous post, i put fake emails and fake addresses and I still get the miles.

The initial first 300 emiles questions take along time. everything else are very short. If qualified for certain ereward surveys, i find those take VERY LONG to complete.

No Worries,I actually fly about 4 times a year,4-6 hour flights,but would like to get more miles some other way. Thanks for the information.

I actually do have some time to kill,and I will do just that,will see how it goes.

Thanks

This is what I might be wondering about,is it really worth it,I do not mind doing surveys,I always do some reviews along my travels,but I am thinking that this one might be more spam in my inbox. Will see.

So is eRewards a different invitation from eMiles?
