FWIW I just had a popup from e-rewards saying that I could redeem 80 points for 7,000 Hilton points instead of the normal 100. I just made the transaction so it's live - at least for me.

Annoyingly the fine print still said one redemption every 60 days for me when I checked earlier so I can’t make what could be a very useful run on them.

EDITED TO ADD: I just saw an email announcement from e-rewards about the promotion. It states "For November only, we’ve reduced the e‑Rewards currency needed to redeem for Hilton Honors Points." So it looks like there's some hope for those of us waiting for the 60 day window to re-open this month.

1,000 Hilton Honors Points for $20 e‑Rewards currency
2,500 Hilton Honors Points for $40 e‑Rewards currency
4,500 Hilton Honors Points for $60 e‑Rewards currency
7,000 Hilton Honors Points for $80 e‑Rewards currency
Obviously, 7,000 points is the best deal, but for those who are very low on e-Rewards dollars, the other options may be attractive.

My 60 days were up today and the system in theory let me do 2x7000 Hilton points in a single redemption request. Will have to see if they actually post in a month or so.

I was wondering how much time you all spend on e-rewards surveys each week. I would guess I spend 5-hours per week typically. That is about an hour each day and near zero time on the weekend days (mainly because the number of survey opportunities is low on the weekends).

TommyD2, you are correct. It is only worth your time if you are multi-tasking. I figured out that I earn between $5 and $7 per hour net after taxes. So, it is only worth my time if I am watching TV or have nothing else to do while I am doing surveys.

I do a lot of surveys while I'm killing time, except on weekends when they seem to dry up. I'm retired so I have a lot of free time. Is it worth it? Last month we flew in Premium Plus seats on United to London to go on a British Isles cruise. I booked good hotels for the night we arrived and the night before heading home. The flights and the hotels were booked on miles/points I have accumulated on E-rewards - so to me, the time I spend is worth it :-)

Has anyone successfully redeemed multiple Hilton rewards in a single redemption (and have the points appeared in your Hilton account)? If not, I will just do one redemption for 7000 points and not wait until the end of the month/promotion when I hopefully can accumulate more e-rewards currency.

I believe that Hilton posts on the last day of the month, so unfortunately you're not likely to get an answer to your question about points appearing in anyone's account before Nov. 30.
