After I emailed again, I eventually received a reply and credit.

I love those. 25c for one click is way better than being dropped after 20 screening questions. It's better value per time consumed than actually doing a survey.

Does anyone else know if Hilton's instituting a captcha for login has affected redemptions?

I would imagine they send over a file and the points are then credited.

Except that it used to be instant.

ETA: Points are now there. Glad my worries were for nothing.

In the past two weeks I have received follow up emails to inquiries I submitted several months ago (with follow ups) saying my account has been credited. So they are very slow - BUT - they are getting around to it. I just have one more pending..and the one from the survey I took this morning that said there was a technical problem at the end but rest assured I was credited and it didn't show up in my account....

Instant transfer on 11/4 as in the past, no worries about captchas.

A 7,000 point transfer done last week took about 1 day to show up in my account. Last quarter's transfer took about 3 days.

As others have noted, Hilton transfers used to be almost instantaneous, but I can live with it taking a day or two. My assumption is that Hilton's IT people did not like a 3rd party having direct access to the Hhonors API. (Or the API broke and Hilton can't figure out how to fix it.)

After ending a survey on a final screen that said "Thank you for taking this survey." I was redirected to a screen that says:
"An error has occurred and unfortunately, we were unable to record all of the information. Your participation has been noted, and will be recorded accordingly"

The survey is still in the list of surveys that I can take, but if I click on it, it just brings me to another error page.

Probably zero chance of getting it credited, right?

I just received a note from ERewards saying my account had been fully credited and gave me a 5 liner time line of when it happened - all well and good, but it wasn't the one I had sent the inquiry about :-)

Same thing here this week, finally getting credit (though not the full amount, not worth chasing another $4 er ) for a survey from the end of September. It's getting to the point that the risk of not getting credit for doing a longer survey is outweighing the potential benefit. I wonder how many people aren't even pursuing credit due to the hassles these days...

Did anyone here participate in the shaving survey? I received the items a couple weeks ago and did the first survey and stopped using the products Weds when the two weeks were up but still haven't received the follow up survey. I had an email contact for the person at the survey company handling it and she won't respond to my question.

I'm going to be pretty upset if I don't get the points seeing it was for $25 in erewards and the razor they gave me wasn't that great.
