Nice! I wish I had IHG on my rewards. I signed up with Hilton and have dumped quite a bit into that account - but I prefer IHG. How did you get 12K at one time? With Hilton the most I can do is $100 for 7,000 and I'm still waiting for the 90 days to expire so I can do it again.

IHG doesn't seem to have a limit on redemptions, so I did 3x$100 e-rewards currency for 4,000 IHG points each.

My original e-Rewards partner was Northwest, and when Delta ended its relationship with e-Rewards, they just gave everyone who was with that partner access to the whole catalog for their country. So it ended up being lucky for the ex-Delta folks.

Yes, it's a bit odd, e-rewards redemptions count towards elite status on IHG, but Bing Rewards redemptions do not. Wonder why the difference. tls

I also originally joined through Hilton. Does e-Rewards still give a worse deal on Hilton points to everyone who joined via some other path?

I'm not a Hilton person and see $125 for 7,000 HHPs.

That's one of the std rewards for HH points and I redeem it every 90 days ;)

This has happened to me twice this week. Also, some pop up saying $2.50, click the link, and then they offer $2.00. Others said 20 minutes, click the link, now it's 25 minutes.

Are they hiring Silicon Valley folk? Same people who use the "monthly user" metric to get venture capital funding? No doubt.

It bugs me the way they say, "Your Rapid Rewards account will be credited with 1,000 Rapid Rewards Points within 4-6 weeks." It should take 4 to 6 seconds, and usually actually takes less than 6 days. Why the inaccurate, misleading and off-putting email?

Not a good sales tool.

Yes, but only on the 7000 HH points redemption. The other levels are the same. This discrimination started a few years ago, originally the top HH award was $100 for all US participants.

E-rewards [Master Thread]
 
Holy crap

Decision Makers Study
Full credit amount*: $45.00 in e-Rewards Currency when you fully qualify and complete the research survey

Qualified AND completed !! The biggest incentive I've received was probably a $100 Amazon code but this is probably the 2nd or 3rd best survey I've taken !! And got credit for! Yippee!!!!!

beachmouse Jan 7, 2015 7:05 pm

Congrats!

My IHG points redeemed for on the 1st posted today. Not a bad turnaround considering it was effectively a holiday weekend.

I had a $36 one today I completed - and it didn't take all that long. Love those :-)

I had a $4.00 one today for toothpaste that claimed to be 10 minutes long. I got through 45% of it, and clicked I had no interest to buy "Toms" and 'Sensodyne", and then the survey said they had the number of users and gave me a quarter; i.e., 25 cents!! :mad:

That's the 3rd time in 2 weeks this has happened. What a nerve! They are stealing information!!
Come on E-Rewards.....once I get that 7000 Hilton Points, "pasta-la-vista", baby.

P.S.: About 8 years ago, I was offered a $175.00 survey and I got $.50 for that one too.
