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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Whilst you might not get BA, you might get Iberia (I have but can't remember who I signed up through), in which case, you can set up an Iberia Avios account and transfer from there to BA (although I think you have to wait 3 months after setting up the Iberia account before you can transfer out). Can anyone check if they got Iberia as an option from a HHonors invitation?
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.

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?

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.

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