Of all the FF programs MileagePlus seems to take the no matter what. I would love to know why!

E-miles does a sweep at the beginning of each month. Thus, a May 8 redemption should result in the miles showing up in your account in early June. tls

+1 tls! JamieDee, expect 'em June 3.

I collected 700 Points on E-Miles...But my "Partner" is United - I want to transfer them to HHonors...Is that possible? The Customer-Support told me, they may change the Partner, but I will loose ALL my accumulated Points! Is that true?

Anybody tried this?

No, unfortunately, you can't actually "change to a different partner" .... what they are offering to do is, in reality, the same as cancelling the old account (thereby losing all accumulated points) and setting up a new account.

Also, there is no worthwhile way to transfer United air miles to HHonors points.

It's well documented here (and elsewhere; i.e. the e-Miles FAQ) that you need to join e-Miles using a signup offer from the place you want to receive the benefits; i.e. in your case, signup using Hilton as the partner.

Thank you for the quick Reply!

So what I will do is collect the missing 300 Points, turn them to United Miles and cancel my account afterwards...Thanks for the Idea with signing up with another Partner!

Anyone know if they send out the miles if you redeem the end of the month and it's a weekend? For UA, if it matters.

I realize it's all automated, but don't know if it's set up to go out on weekends, and I didn't have a chance to go redeem May's miles until late Saturday 5/31.

Doesn't matter in the end - they'll get there sometime - just curious.

No, can't say I ever redeemed on the last day of the month. But now you've got me curious, so please report back when you know whether they're posting this month or next! My HH points have already posted (today's the 2nd), so perhaps yours have as well??? tls

No sign of them as of 6/3 so probably with the weekend redemption on last day of the month they probably missed the monthly sweep.

I have redeemed the last day of the month on a weekday before, though, and as I recall they made it.

Oh well, don't need them today.

I have been doing E-Miles for years and have never had an issue with miles posting. BEst thing to do is put it out of your mind and simply check your account balance every so often. They'll post.

Agreed, although if they don't post in the next, oh, 2 or 3 days, they'll probably post early next month. tls

I had UA miles post today from emiles. I redeemed 3 weeks ago

O I've got an update and a correction
 

In fact, they did show up today - which is a bit later than I remember some months, but likely also associated with the way the end of the month falls in the weekly calendar.

So yup, even a weekend, 31st-of-the-month redemption makes it for the end-of-the-month sweep. Good news if you are too busy (or too forgetful ;)) to go through and do your offers M-F. ^

Well, e-miles has just changed its redemption policy for UA miles in some positive aspects. You can now redeem in 250 mile increments, and the miles credit immediately. The new terms are below (and fyi, I just redeemed for 250 miles, and it worked perfectly):


"We've partnered with United MileagePlus to provide real-time processing of your mileage transfer requests. No more waiting 4 to 6 weeks for the miles to appear in your MileagePlus account.

From now until August 31, 2014, you may redeem your e-Miles miles for MileagePlus award miles in increments of 250 miles instead of 500 miles.

Win back any e-Miles miles that may have been expired due to inactivity by engaging with and earning miles on 5 or more offers before August 1, 2014."
