Regarding expiration: Technically, there is an expiration date for points, but every year, I get an email telling me that, because I was an active member, they will waive the expiration. I attempt at least 75% of the surveys they send me.

I guess this explains why mine got extended.

Lucky old you! I've managed $80+ since October and still the majority of that will expire at the end of the month if I don't make use of it. No extension past 31 December (+ a month) for me.

+1 ...even when I haven't been very active.

Well, I attempt 95%, but they never waive the expiration. I don't think that matters.

Yeah, me neither. I used to hear from them every week or so. Now it's been several weeks, at least. I hope they're not going out of business.
Like someone said, perhaps it's the holidays.
I'm not near a threshold, so don't think that's the issue, at least for me. I actually just cashed out a few miles to keep my USAir account active.

For those not receiving surveys, have you gone back thru and updated your profile mini-surveys?

You won't earn points but it's worked in the past for me to "jump start" things.

If it makes you feel any better, they tend to come in big lumps. I'll get nothing for weeks and then a whole bunch at once.

I'm redeeming for hotel points and saving up for GS12 (US Airways Grand Slam 2012). Be prepared, that's what they say! ;)

I just wish I could get an invite from a partner who allows US Airways redemptions, for the GS promo :( I've gone back through all my old emails to look for Priority Club and US Air invites and don't have anything.

excellent point about iberia, I completely forgot about that way of transffering, and yes, you do get iberia via the hilton honors invite. thanks for reminding me.

edit - well that's sneaky !, it showed me iberia when I followed the link, then after I had registered and confirmed, most of the transfer options were removed and I was just left with Hilton, Delta and one other.

edit 2 - and now iberia seems to have re-appeared !, very strange.

I can see Iberia in my options but no BA. I joined long time ago with a Hilton Invite but later re-joined with a Priority Club invite - later I called to have 2 accounts combined when IHG had partner activities promotion. They merged the 2, PC stayed and HHonor vanished.

The airlines I have, DL, CO, VS, WN, US, AS, B6, Hawaiian and Etihad, even Frontier - isn't that Frontier no longer exists?

IB has a 0.3x versus other airlines only 0.2x ratio. I do not realize that IB and BA can be transferred like UA/CO. This is cool.

However I cannot find the transfer option in my BAEC account - is this IB/BA transfer option only available to UK-based BAED Members?

I have been getting several e-rewards survey opportunities recently. Most are for $6+ and I have been qualifying. I was not participating for several months while I traveled but started to recently, mostly out of boredom. They must have an active, go-to list or something. I haven't searched redemption opps much. What is the general consensus on their best use?

Have a look at this thread. If it doesn't help, try posting a question there.

Questions on E Rewards
 

Can somebody please help me find the following information about e-rewards program - if somebody joined through priority club, is there anyway to add Hilton as a redemption partner? Thanks so much for the information.

No.

If you join thru a hotel invitation, that's the only hotel you will see as a redemption option.

If you join thru an airline invitation, that's the only airline you will see as a redemption option.
