FWIW my significant other opened a new e-rewards account (with all the airline options) and it did not have Avios or BA, only Iberia. Which I thought was really weird. It was opened via Radisson Rewards so BA/Avios should have been there. If they were closing Avios - it could have made sense. But no BA either ?

The Avios UK travel program is ending. BA Executive Club and Iberia Plus will remain unchanged. I assume they will remain as e-rewards partners. Iberia has a better transfer ratio, anyway.

Well, BAEC and Iberia Plus will continue, so not so terrible news.
Currently, if you have the right account, you can credit once per month to BAEC, Avios.com and Iberia Plus, and only two of them will remain. It's interesting what happens if you joined e-rewards through avios.com? Close the account or open to all programs?

Here's hoping that my avios erewards account does open up to other partners after the closure date.

I find the Hertz awards to be the best, as I need to rent about 8 to 10 weeks per year mainly LAX, SFO, MCO, DEN, PHX at peak times per year. I regularly get 10 to 15 cents per point in value and always get the Premium (well what they consider Premium) cars for just the taxes and exhorbiant fees. Last year I bought the large Hertz points package on Daily Getaways for <5 cents per so having 4400 points per year from e-Rewards keeps the costs down and the points balance up. Airline miles seem to be a poor value unless topping off an account is necessary, and much better than the hotel points award. But, they're "free" so no big deal.

Another fraudulent survey from OpinionBar... just get to 99%, then survey says click on the arrow to get your rewards, but there is no arrow and Web page automatically moves to the OpinonBar website... you get zero. Cheap .......s.

I've actually had good success with emailing e-rewards in similar circumstances and getting full credit. I briefly describe the survey and calmly ask for credit.

I once wrote and asked them to explain how, after trying to answer surveys the moment they hit my inbox, I was still being told that the opportunity had expired. FWIW, the reply was that they often send out the same survey in multiple waves, so if I'm in the fifth or sixth group to receive the survey, it may already have been filled by people in the preceding four groups.

Just completed the survey about UK TV services... it promised 50 to 300 points... it was quite long and extensive, some 15+ minutes from start until end... see my surprise when I got measly 50 points... what a scam...
