Message from IHG today-
Eh, it was good while it lasted. At least that 8K puts me at Platinum until the end of 2018.
Beginning 22 February 2017, e-Rewards have made changes to their policies and this includes e-Reward points to be posted as non-qualifying points. We believe that e-Reward will disseminate this change soon to their members. As an exception, we would be depositing points as qualifying points until e-Rewards has made members aware of the new policy.
You would see on your account that we have taken out the points that were previously deposited by e-Rewards. You will then see another activity on your account that we have deposited the 8,000 points as elite qualifying points.

What does it actually mean? e-Rewards has not made ME aware as of yet. Should I therefore complain about points posted yesterday as non-qualifying or let it go?

Redeemed a United award and it showed up in my United account 5 minutes after redemption. Now that is the way to issue an award!!

Wonder if there was now a significant price difference for e-Rewards buying EQ IHG points in bulk compared to non-EQ points. And e-miles still 'worked' because that company is still on the previous batch of points they bought from IHG.

Ugh, that sounds bad. Well, I just redeemed the miles I had and I'll let things rest a few days while that goes through. But it's a shame as nothing has changed and I too have received a heck of a lot of value over the years based on getting a lot of surveys related to my company. Bummed. But thanks for getting back to share what you know.
