I keep feeling like it slows down - but I look at my redemption's and find I converted $100 three times this year - for me that's a good amount.

I'm getting the normal amount. But I also joined so long ago that I'm not tied to any particular redemption partner.

I normally get 2-3 a week.

I can't remember who my "invitee" was (I think it was Hilton but not sure) as it's been quite a long time but for the past week I have been getting 2-3 per day and prior to that it was about 2-3 per week

I think my invite was from Hilton too :)

A few weeks ago I was getting a lot of them as well. I think they just go through cycles. The same with MyPoints. Pretty soon we'll be flooded with those as the holidays get closer.

If I'm not mistaken, I think it's E-miles that resulted from a Hilton invitation. Then all of the results can only go to HHonors points. I'm pretty sure that E-rewards are open enrollment, and thus they can be shot to a number of redemption targets.

And, bob12403, I get the profile-updater after virtually every E-rewards survey I fill out, I do the profile one, it tells me my account has been credited, but my total doesn't increase.

[Never thought I'd care enough to become this familiar, but E-rewards is another hit in the Grand Slam. And, as I noted in an earlier post, it did "save" my HHonors account a few months ago. What we do.....]

I am sorry to inform you that you are wrong.

It's never open enrollment for e-Rewards. You need a sponsor invite to join e-Rewards. Go and check e-Rewards' website and I doubt you could find any proof of open enrollment. There used to be a link to request an invite though.

And e-Rewards started the practice of (airline) sponsor-restricted redemption maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Say if your sponsor is Delta, your airline redemption is locked in with Delta. This is the thread that discussed that change:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/s-p-m...ough-them.html (Dec 2007)

Meanwhile, some long-time e-Rewards members, say enrolled in 1990s, aren't affected by such change and still have a wide range of redemption options, airlines or otherwise.

Hilton is just one of the many partners for e-Miles. People sign up with e-Miles thru different partners. See this master thread for more discussion:

Uniquely, I was not invited to E-rewards, and I can choose from a number of redemption options. I was invited to join E-miles by Hilton, and I am not given a choice of where to redeem them, only a choice of when.

Maybe you should contact e-rewards. My account activity shows five profile updates in the past 30 days, with ten cents awarded for each one. Why would they give one person e-rewards money for a profile update and not another person?

Contact Number for E-Rewards
 
Hi All,

Just curious to know if anyone knows any customer care contact number? I have not received any new survey in almost a month and half. My profiles and all are updated. I sent them mails using the member service option, but have not received any reply from their end. Probably calling them might increase my chances. :)

All my communications (for 10 years on now) with them have always been via email.

Mine too.

Just found this thread although I have been an e-rewards member for almost 2 years. Can be very frustrating. Although the OP was many years ago, I still agree that it seems quite unfair to be on a survey for 5-10 minutes, answer more than 20 questions, and then told you don't qualify. Happens >25% of the time. But I haven't quit yet since I still like to have alternate ways to build up miles, even little bits at a time.

How long for e-rewards to post to Priority Club these days? I seem to recall it was a weekly sweep, but I forget the day, and it's been longer than a week now and the points haven't hit my account... I'd like to know if anyone else had a recent experience with this before I send an email to CS.

Same here. I get a couple of invites a week, tempting me with 400-500 pt surveys, then after far more questions than should be required I get told I don't qualify and get a measly 25pts :mad:.

Choice redemptions
 
Choice redemptions - from the e-rewards website "You may claim one (1) Choice Privileges Reward per calendar quarter, per Choice Privileges account and/or e-Rewards member account".

I had been hoping to credit e-rewards from two different e-rewards accounts to the same Choice account within a few days (Grand Slam hit). This suggests I shouldn't be able to. Is this enforced in practice and what would happen if I tried and failed - would my e-rewards disappear into the ether or would the transfer just never happen?
