Average time for e-rewards to BA miles to post.
I redeemed some points from my account for BA miles and the miles posted in just about a week. My wife also redeemed some points for BA Miles, and it has still not posted, and it's been 2 weeks. I know it gives a 2-4 weeks estimate. Looking to close the account. Should I contact e-rewards or just wait 4 weeks?

BA miles post monthly if I remember correctly (around 1st-3rd). Hilton is instant, BMI post on mondays, so they are all different. I'd wait the time they say, and if the miles don't post then contact them.

I just got the same thing - except it said it wanted to renew my membership, and carried over my balance another year. I had just redeemed $75 worth since things had been so slow the last year - but what the heck, I've added 16,000 or so Hilton points in the last few years answering some survey questions. Wish they sent more :-0

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT YOUR REWARD CHOICES
During October, the Northwest Airlines WorldPerks program will officially merge with the Delta SkyMiles program into one frequent flyer program Delta SkyMiles. To learn more about the merger, please click here.
Although WorldPerks and E-Certs will no longer be available as a Reward choice, we are excited to inform you that you will be able to redeem for Delta SkyMiles effective October 1, 2009. Please continue to check your e-Rewards home page for updates regarding this program merger.
To redeem your unused e-Rewards Currency for Northwest Airlines Rewards, please click the button below to visit your Rewards Center:
Also, be aware that the terms for redeeming e-Rewards points on Delta are a bit different than what was possible when redeeming for NW miles. NW's offer let you redeem once every quarter. Delta will only let you redeem once every 180 days.
Given that, you might want to refrain from submitting for smaller mileage amounts (500, 1000) and save up to redeem at the maximum mileage level (2000) as otherwise you'll be locking yourself out of 50% of the miles you can throw at your Delta account via e-Rewards redemptions evey year.
Best,
TMichaels

I have the option of choosing the Alaska Airlines 2,000 miles for $100. They let you redeem per quarter( how long is that 4 months?). Wouldn't that be a better option?

Calendar Year and Magazine Question
My membership year ends on September 30th and my rewards have to be redeemed by October 31. Last year, a few days before Halloween, I redeemed part of my account balance for $15 in Borders Bucks as well as on a magazine subscription. Do I have to wait again this year a few days before Halloween to redeem my account balance for another $15 in Borders Bucks or can I do it anytime after Sept 30 (i.e. right now) ?
Can I also redeem some of my account balance for the same magazine as I ordered last year and if so, will it extend my 1 year subscription which is about to expire? Thanks for any info.

I also got half way through a survey today and they told me sorry, they already had enough answers. I almost understand the issue about answering some questions and not qualifying, but I don't understand this business of already having enough replies. They had to know that when I first started. So they got a bunch of information they wanted and then gave me no credit. UGH!!

Finally got a survey
It's been over a year...had pretty much given up on them, and then all the sudden I get a $2.00 survey for electronics. Guess it proves they don't just delete you from the system.

It might me worth a try to update your personal information. There are probably a few changes that might trigger your account to get back on their survey rotation.

I realized how long it had been since I'd used E-rewards so I logged on today and updated all my personal information. Hopefully now that I no longer have "Some High School" selected as my education level (I joined in 2002 
) I'll start seeing surveys again.
