I would like to seriously thank the people who pointed out that you can get 1-2 surveys a day on the app. I have now gotten a nice shiny 40K in IHG points courtesy of e-Rewards this year, all of them elite-qualifying. I am amused that there's a perfectly legit elite hack like that and hope they keep it for 2016 because it would be even funnier if I could largely manage to pull off Spire via surveys. e-Rewards, Platinum elite, y'all! :) |

I think IHG is normally on about a 7-14 day interval for the e-Rewards system doing a sweep and transfer. I just got my latest 4K points after cashing out on the last day of September.

I did not get serious about the e-Rewards app until maybe late May, so missed out on the chance to really go for it this year. The program's been stable enough I feel okay with stockpiling the last quarter of 2015 and then hopefully doing a status dump on January 1 for the first 8-16K for next year's qualifying, provided things stay EQ.
If they lose the EQ, I might end up moving over to Accor for my redemptions since I think I could make that program work well for a European vacation. |

Why?
That's why moi is an Ambassador, and not really any of that IHG stuff any more. But again, I liked the 3 days for the e-rewards transfer! :) |
If you happen to have two accounts with E-Rewards, do not send any questions or complaints... I did and they erased my other account completely, stating (rightfully) their T&C...

Done that, but I guess they found same first and surnames at both account... E-mails were different

Names have to match, at least for most of the redemptions. But you can change to a false name in between redemptions.

I got an invitation from SW to participate in e-rewards, and I'd be rewarded with 500 points after my first survey. I must have tried 8 surveys so far, and after spending up to 10 minutes per survey answering questions I was told each time that I didn't qualify for some reason. What a huge waste of time. I feel like SW/e-rewards scammed me out of hours of answering questions. I hate feeling used like this and am ticked I didn't search for other people's experiences with this bait and switch survey company.

Your experience is vastly different than mine. First, it should not take more than a few minutes to get dq'd from any survey. Even if you do, you get partial credit. Hours? I find that hard to believe. Next, every survey has a different target audience. Eventually you will get one, and get your 500 bonus miles. I am regularly getting a few thousand AA miles and a few thousand IHG points every single month through this, even though I get dq'd from a little less than half the surveys I try to take. |
IME, even if you don't qualify, you have taken the survey and you will be awarded your 500 bonus miles. You should go to the reward central and there should be free 500 miles to redeem (unless SW works differently to others)

Most of the time, surveys either reject you within 5 or 6 questions, which is pretty good value for 25-50c, or run to completion and pay the full amount. |
So I have a big question to ask everyone, I have about $400 e-reward dollars. What would be the best offer that I should redeem my dollars for? I want to redeem it towards hotels or airfare or car rental. But I wanna get the most out of the points that I transfer to. What do you guys transfer your rewards to?
