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.

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 .

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?
