I'm looking to sign up to E-Rewards to boost my AccorHotels LeClub points. Ideally, however, I'd like to sign up through a partner that allows me to redeem points for a wide range of partners, and not just one.

The LINK on the AccorHotels website has not allowed signups for at least 18 months, and instead directs users to a page to 'learn more' about E-Rewards.

Previously, I had signed up through Virgin Australia, however this only allowed me to redeem for VA, and no other partners, so I got the E-Rewards team to close this account, so I could try to find another partner in which to sign up that allows me to earn LeClub points.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for a partner that allows redemption for LeClub points, and ideally allows redemption on a range of partners, including Virgin Australia?

I'm based in Australia, if that information is pertinent.

Cheers,
It is important where you are based, because they require a valid telephone number from that country when you make a redemption (online sms sites do not work IME). Usually if you sign up through a hotel you get to redeem to that hotel program and all the airlines, if you sign up through an airline you get all the hotels and that airline (with some exceptions when you can redeem to one program only). So in your case you have to check when Accor release some invitations.
I know only of active invitations for Brazil, but you need a Brazilian IP and a telephone number for that...

Well, just did this again...
Had my account from which I redeem to my mileage account and my wife's, from which I redeemed to hers mileage account. I changed the name of her e-rewards account to mine and redeemed to my mileage account - and the e-rewards account was closed. Then redeemed from my e-rewards to the same mileage account and it was also closed. Both times the miles posted though. This definitely didnt happen before.
So beware.

Is anyone else finding a lack of surveys in the last few weeks?

Yup. If I check regularly I can manage 600-800 points a day which is less than it used to be.

It seems to come and go. My wife and I normally cash in $100 each month. To months ago I had $200 for the first time, and last month she had $200 - we're over 70 and dn't work... But this month it's time to redeem and we are both stuck at $80. I've had several surveys - but qualified for very few.

Same question. I used to transfer e-rewards points to avios.com and further to BAEC. Since all native avios.com accounts are now closed, what to enter when redeeming at e-rewards? The avios.com chat told me to switch to "Rewards for Thoughts" because avios.com are no more partnered with e-rewards, however e-rewards is still listed on avios.com and redeeming on e-rewards to Avios is possible.

There are a few different ways it could go. My e-rewards invitation was by way of Delta, and when they ended participation, I was given all the redemption options, both transportation and hotel, available in my country. On the other hand, I think the ex US Air participants just got moved over to having American as their sole transportation redemption option.

Hopefully the former Avios participants get both BAEC and Iberia redemption options at a minimum.

Q: Today I got a redeemable avios total in my account but then discovered my avios account had been closed. So I opened a Vueling account to move the avios to but by mistake I put my wife's Vueling account number in.
I have tried to save the day by changing my accounts name to my wife's, do you think this will be O.K as I changed the name after the redemption but I know it can take a week or two to hit the avios account.

Well, they have not closed ALL native avios.com accounts, my wife's is still there.
Anyway, you can sign up to Aer Lingus, FlyBe, Vueling and will end up with an avios.com account, so no problem using that, even if e-rewards do nothing in the meantime

I've changed the name after the redemption before and it worked

Thanks for the quick reply, I didn't want to lose this account and those avios. Is it fine to change the names back after I see the redemption hit my account or is it best to leave it a while?

I think so. It was ok before, but they have certainly become much more strict recently and quite quick to close accounts...

Cheers NM, got my 750 Avios into Vueling account today. I think I will leave it until I rack up enough points to make a redemption then change names back.

From 1-2 minutes to 6 hours (never more)
