Hertz transfer update info for myself
 
El Cid - My hertz redemption is still a no show and under review by e-rewards. Received email on 6/13 stating they are investigating and will respond in 3 weeks (by July 3rd apparently). I would say the e-rewards/hertz transfer is still not a sure thing but best of luck to you if you do the transfer.

I seem to be one of the few who has had no trouble transferring Hertz every quarter. I'm not aware of anything different about my transfer either....

After being stuck at $22 for a while due to a dry streak I finally went over $25 and was able to cash in on my first reward (500 RR points). I signed up two months ago so hopefully 500 points every two months continues.

Unfortunately you can only cash in for the same type of award every 90 days.

I've been collecting about $125 per quarter this year so I cash in for two different awards (one hotel, one airline) every three months.

Not all rewards are every three months. I know Hertz and Hilton are 3 months but I know UA, JetBlue and American are once every 30 days and Priority Club there is no limit.

Have you actually seen your account has such restriction?

UA is every 30 days (that is what I really care). Other airlines probably are also only 30 days. Priority Club has no restriction. I think Club Carlson also has no restriction also.

AFAIK, for the hotels, only Hilton has the 90 days limit but since both the e-Reward and the HHonor program have devalued (big time devaluation for HHonor program), transfer to HHonor is absolutely a waste of your hard-earned currency.

Has anyone been getting Hertz points in a timely fashion lately? Are the no-show redemptions from March/April finally showing up?

My points showed up on 6/3 after a follow up email. Never received a reply back but the points did show up.

neuromancer Jun 20, 2013 9:00 am

Tried to redeem to Hertz on 30/12/2012. Nothing arrived, wrote to CS, was told I have to wait 8 weeks as per T&C, before that they wouldn't do anything. Then wrote again, no answer at all for months. Wrote again, and after a considerable delay was told they would look into it, and I have to wait 6-8 weeks. So still no Hertz points for me.

Shapalo Jun 20, 2013 3:37 pm

Does anyone know how often US Airways sends an invitation for E-Rewards? I just signed up for Dividend Miles, hoping to get an invitation, so that following the merger I'll hopefully have an E-Rewards account where I can choose any reward (or am I mistaken about this?)

:td:

Essentially the same pattern I'm going through with them and still no points here. It's ridiculous and by now they know they had a major problem with multiple account holders and should at least credit accounts with the missing e-reward dollars.

It's pretty darn simple. I requested points in March. ER$ subtracted from account. No Hertz points have posted (from erewards). They should be able to see that when they contact Hertz. Either post some points or return the ER$. What in the h*&# is the problem on e-rewards' customer service end? Never had a problem in the past with customer service if points didn't post from a survey, even when it was ER$35 (they manually fixed it in less than a day), but all of a sudden they are becoming intractable.

AA Novice Jun 20, 2013 8:33 pm

Just spent 15 minutes on a survey only to be told they had filled their quota on this quiz. It kicked me out and didn't even give me .25. Sad thing was it was only a $2.00 survey. By the way it was about shampoo so don't waste your time if you get it.

Same thing happened to me yesterday evening .... damn them!

msc75 Jun 21, 2013 5:45 pm

Ah, thank you...I always redeem for Hilton so I though the 90 day rule was across the board. I'll start redeeming husband's AA account more frequently.

I wouldn't really call this hard earned currency, just clicking away on your computer lol...I actually enjoy taking these surveys.

Personally I am up to my ears in UA miles with no use for them (except possibly trade on CC) but I can always find a use for the Hilton points, even after the horrible points deval. They just add up so quickly. My e-Rewards account is from HH so no devaluation there, I still collect 7K points per $100. To each her own, but 28K HH points a year works better for me than 8K airline miles.

louie-m Jun 22, 2013 7:45 am

Have e-rewards got wise to HotSpot Shield? I'm overseas and I've not had a survey that hasn't "expired" immediately I click on it for at least a month, probably more, even though I get at least 5 emails from e-rewards each week. HotSpot Shield used to solve the issue of being abroad, but it doesn't seem to make any difference now, unless there's some other reason why I'm having problems. Any ideas?

asandrs Jun 22, 2013 1:48 pm

I'm currently living in Paris (and not the one in Texas) and none of the proxy siites I've tried have worked for the past month or so. If you find one that does could you PM me and I'll do likewise. Merci.

Had the same problem a few days ago (although it wasn't shampoo.) I emailed e-rewards to express my dismay at this chicanery, and they emailed back quite quickly to apologize and said I would be credited with the full amount.

When these things happen, you have to complain. E-rewards doesn't know the survey firms are pulling these stunts unless you tell them.

Same problem here. I would be willing to get the paid version if I knew it would work. There are recommendations here but most people just want Hulu and Netflix so don't know if they work for E-Rewards. I wish there was some way to verify I am a US citizen and just have permanent access to surveys wherever I am. This is such a PITA.

chauming Jun 23, 2013 3:18 am

Wanted to transfer into Hilton today. It shows out of stock for all levels. ... is going on here?

thelostshark Jun 23, 2013 7:06 am

HH is oos at all levels me too. An ill wind is blowing. Tls

If you have the firefox browser, anonymoX works! It's a add-on for the browser and works great. I use it all the time with no issues. Just make sure you are on one of the *US identities* and you should be good to go. :D

Out of stock for me too. And I joined e-Rewards via an invitation from Hilton years ago. If Hilton is leaving, I am too.

Use Express VPN instead. It always works and HotSpot Shield never did for me. Plus it was a lot slower.

First Delta is gone .... now (maybe) Hilton .... looks like I could be gone soon as well ....

neuromancer Jun 24, 2013 5:32 am

Hilton has gone out of stock before with no dire consequences.

beachmouse Jun 24, 2013 8:19 am

When Delta pulled out of the program, we got a good two weeks warning of it. If they were going to lose Hilton, I'd hope they put up the same alert.

That's a good point. Still, it seemed odd that all award levels went oos at the same time. If it really were a question of having stock, one would expect them to go oos one at a time, so I was thinking this suggested a systemic issue, like perhaps a change in redemption amounts (as semi-recently happened for 7k HH points). But perhaps not. tls

jwudbwei Jun 24, 2013 10:34 am

Just checked now. All HH levels are available.

beachmouse Jun 24, 2013 4:14 pm

If anyone's still wanting Delta miles, I've had pretty good luck so far with Harris Polls. (search them on you own and it'll come up pretty easily; if I try to copy a link while I'm logged into the site, it wants to dump a referral code in the header)

Each time they send you an e-mail about new surveys, when you click on the link, it dumps you into a survey router. I've been able to click that most recent e-mail several times. Sometimes you'll get a message about no surveys matching your demographics; sometimes you can get 3-4 different surveys from that one e-mail.

Redemption downside is that they can sometimes take a little longer than '10-15 business days' after you cash out. Redemption upside is that you redeem for a Skypeso voucher through points.com rather than linking a single FF number to your Harris account, so it looks like you might be able to deposit them in different Delta accounts as needed. (They've also got US Airways dividend miles.)

That's exactly what I just did. I got a survey about Personal Finance by Phoenix Marketing International. Was well into it after answering many questions - over 90% done, according to the survey - when I screened out. The partial credit was .25, which was ridiculous for all time spent and I emailed e-rewards to complain. Most of the time, I feel the compensation is fair, but this was not.

Very disappointed as I typically redeem my points for Specialty car but looks like I'll have to stop now! :mad:

Oh wow! Just checked my accounts through Award Wallet and noticed I had gotten the 500 Hertz points! Only took 12 weeks!!!

rookie10 Jul 4, 2013 11:27 am

Hertz
 
This time I redeemed Hertz again and it posted in 3 business days compared to 9 weeks previously.

satz Jul 4, 2013 7:22 pm

Same for me, it took 3 days which was surprisingly quick

gloreglabert Jul 8, 2013 8:56 pm

I've redeemed for Hertz points 3 times. Every single time, the points never posted and I had to follow up after 8 weeks, sometimes multiple times, to get them to post the points manually. Around ~3 months from redemption to posting.

beachmouse Jul 8, 2013 10:49 pm

For those who are ex-Delta folks, my second quarter bonus just posted.

I have NO problem not qualifying for a survey, but determination should be made with the first 10 questions (actually w/n the first 4-5, right?), not after a thorough statistical analysis could be performed from my numerous inputted answers.

Most of the questions required physical entry of data: Blockbuster, NetFlix, Hollywood Video, Grocery Store, etc. as opposed to using radio buttons to select a given choice.

The survey covered who competes in the rental market, who competes in the sales market, advertising, rental frequency, etc. BS if I didn’t complete this. This almost looks like a survey bait and switch.

This is a new reason I don’t like E-Rewards. I don’t know why I go through this.

Sam

Haha Im glad I saw this after 9 years from when you posted this first. I recently signed up and tried a few of their tons of emails they sent and never qualified for anyone of them. And yes, that was after spending a lot of time filling forms.

Strange...
I have redeemed $60 for 500 Hertz every quarter without any problem.

I just looked... the 500 I redeemed July 1 already posted,
Total is 3000, so that is 6 quarterss without a hitch.

marshlight Jul 16, 2013 6:30 pm

I feel like I should know this, but don't - do the redemption restrictions for each brand apply across their different value offerings? Which is to say, could I redeem for both the 150 and 500 point Hertz rewards every quarter (or all the Best Buy increments), or am I limited to just one of the set?

neuromancer Jul 16, 2013 7:12 pm

You get one per partner for the period, not one for each value.
