After awaiting two anxious days, my HH points finally credited. Thought I was going to have to contact them after a change of address appeared to cause some extra levels of information clarification via additional profile questions.

I used to do e-rewards a lot, but I got tired of the surveys and let my account lapse back in 2014. I occasionally receive "We want you back!" emails that offer me HHonors points to rejoin, but I haven't bitten so far.

One of the (minor) irritations for me was that HHonors was the only hotel program that I could redeem points for. I assume that's because I originally signed up via a Hilton invitation.

Does anybody know if there is a way to sign up such that I can redeem for all hotel and airline programs?

I've heard of two ways people got all the redemption options- they joined under a program that later ended the e-Rewards partnership (Northwest/Delta- I'm in that group, probably Wyndham since they ended things last year) or they got an invitation through Ticketmaster years back.

So... when you get the message: "a location that is different from the country for which this survey is intended"....is that the kiss of death?

Time to start up a new account under a new email address?

In my case I just RELOAD (REFRESH) my Chrome browser and try again (usually that would get my survey going and had been able to complete them..).

For me never mattered. E-rewards was not even available to choose in my home country so I had to make up U.K. as my home and everything has worked so far. Or wait...just emptied my account with transfer to IHG since I am fed up with the increasing dysfunctionalities of the surveys. Waste of time now. It was OK while it lasted.

IHG still seems to be posting the Tuesday morning after you redeem.

Thank you very much for the head's up on this ^ and I just redeemed 3x$100 just now (and true to form, the points all posted within minutes)
Bolding mine: Looks like the "No restrictions for a limited time" is still in effect as I just redeemed another $100* (and the points again posted within minutes)

*my last HH redemption was on January 18th

Today IHG points posted to my account as NON-qualifying

Surely not a good idea to contact Customer Service, is it?

Is it over then?
