IHG as EQ was always buried in the terms and conditions you can view after you click to redeem. And was still described as such when I checked a few minutes ago

Ah well - looks like AA miles are my go-to redemption for the future then (unless I need to rescue anything else from expiry).
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but is there any way to increase the number of partner redemptions available? I would prefer to redeem for AS miles, but that is not an option on my account (UK).

You need to sign up for a new account through another sposor (AS or a hotel). Or the sposor through which you signed up must leave e-rewards.

That makes sense. All of the above are options on my UK account. Choice and Club Carlson seem to have been recently added. Maybe the UK site will add more later.

anyone had success yet in getting the 2/27 IHG batch posted into EQ? the T&C still say posts as EQ but the email correspondance from IHG rep says otherwise...

Not true. If you click on an IHG reward, then click on the T&C on the next page, you will see "IHG Rewards Club Points earned through e-Rewards count towards Elite Tier status." As others have posted previously, that's where that information has lived. Nothing has changed.

I earned a bonus for IHG points on 2/7 and 2/21. Points on 2/7 counted towards EQ, points earned on 2/21 were not. Looks like there was a changed. I just went for more today, so hopefully they will process tomorrow and I can see if it counts towards EQ or not.

I earned an additional bonus 3/7. It did not count towards EQ.
