I'd be a little wary of that. If you gave them your real info at any time (and they do ask for it for Hilton- maybe to match against the account?) they can check. I know they've got mine because, as I noted earlier, I was getting surveys pre-populated with my name and address.

A year or so ago they closed my account- the reason was boilerplate but included possibly failing tests to see if I was paying attention, going through the surveys too quickly, providing conflicting information, etc. I protested and was reinstated. I try to be honest even when I know I'll get kicked out (no, I have no intention of ever buying a current model-year car again) because I know that their main product is a group of honest, thoughtful survey respondents. I'm a fast reader and I CAN legitimately speed through some questions- I'm retired, for example, so a question about whether I'm employed in any of 20 fields is a quick "None".

So, if the surveys want personally identifiable information I just skip them.

Just redeemed for United miles. Checked my account and the miles posted instantly. At least that redemption still works like it always has.

We are at a point where I am going to say: At least the points came in!

To be fair, on the bright site, I found that survey credits have been posting constantly and immediately. There used to be a frustrating lag time.

Agreed 100%. Sometimes I was left wondering if a credit was actually going to post, and then of course I'd forget to go back and check and had to trust that it actually did. Now the credits post instantly so it's easy to make sure they aren't cheating you!

It may be that his account is deactivated. After the new website I tried to log into my old deactivated account and succeeded. But I could not redeem from there, just gave an error message

I did a quick search here, and didn't see this discussed in the past. Other than supposedly making one "feel good" (pleeze...), what on earth are the e-reward "achievement" levels, and do they offer any value? I've never paid any attention to them, really didn't know they existed, are they part of the "new reward" program? I see today i have "diamond" status, and despite my searching e-rewards help, it doesn't appear the various levels are "worth" anything, eg in extra points, etc. Anyone have more information?

Personally I hope that it is mostly a skeleton elite program for now just to get the ball rolling. Once they invest more resources into it, I would hope to see a bigger difference.

SO happy today. Transferred Hilton Dec 27, points credited today Jan 14. Just under the 4-6 weeks disclaimer.

I'd been wondering what they did with all the "Answer these Questions to Find a New Survey" answers since they don't seem to serve any purpose in getting me more surveys for which I qualify. They're certainly collecting enough info about where I shop, what diseases I have or don't have, etc.

Yesterday I was asked to check off what stores I'd shopped at in the last 6 months. I checked off Kroger, among others. There are no Krogers anywhere near me but I was visiting family in SC last month.

Right after that my FB feed showed a Kroger ad. Yep, the information is all for sale.

My HH points also credited on Jan. 14 (I redeemed from e-rewards on Jan 3.) tls

How about IHG? How long does it take for those now?

jwudbwei

I had one IHG submitted 2 weeks ago and still not credited. However, i did one yesterday and it was immediately credited. Go figure

They have been instant for me for a few months now.

Make sure you receive the email confirmation, so then you can forward that for processing.
