Justin Does... Sep 7, 2010 9:32 pm

I think I know the answer to this, BUT I need FlyerTalk validation.

My membership year ends September 30, so I have until Nov 1, 2010 to cash in my eRewards. Let's say I have enough points for 4,000 PCR points. Is there a way to get the 4,000 points to somehow post to my PCR account in 2011 (for 2011 elite status)?

My gut is telling me NO...

Thanks y'all.

Since Nov. 1 is TWO MONTHS before the beginning of 2011, I doubt it. Once you redeem e-rewards for PC points, you'll get a message saying that your points will post within "6 to 8 weeks," but in reality it happens faster than that. And it certainly won't be LONGER than 8 weeks.

Your best hope is to get the e-rewards redemption deadline eliminated (at least for this year). Maybe you'll get lucky and that will happen (or you could ask, though I don't know if they generally grant such requests). This has happened to some lucky people. (For example, my normal expiry date of Aug. 1 was eliminated for me this year, and my currency doesn't expire until Aug. 1, 2011, i.e., next year.)

As I wrote here before once you redeem for PCR points they post to your account the following Tuesday. And you really should've redeemed before September 31st to hit the double partner's promo.

Has E-Rewrds dropped Hilton Honors as a reward program? I cannot find it under awards any longer.

I just checked and the Hilton HHonors redemption option is still listed for my account.

Hhonors redemption is still available in my account even though I'm signed up through Delta.

HH is still listed in my account too.

Thanks, I just emailed erewards custumer service and asked them why I no longer have it as a option.

I just found a promo for free USAir miles in my e-Rewards account and I hadn't seen any mention of it.

I went to redeem $25 in e-Rewards for 500 USAir miles. On the USAir rewards page, there was an option for a FREE redemption reward of 500 miles. Free as in no cost in e-Rewards cash - zero, bupkis, nada.

I used that redemption option and received a confirmation email.

Nice! No doubt it is a targeted promo. Did you originally join erewards via an invitation from USAir?

I'm not sure (since it's been a few years) but I don't believe so especially since my airline mile reward options aren't limited to just USAir.

Could it be that it was one of the original "welcome" gifts you never claimed when you singed up for e-rewards?
