I realized I hadn't received anything in some time, so I went to the website, and signed in. It then said they were having issues with my e-mail address and I needed to confirm it before I could receive any more surveys. They made it sound as if I had been contacted about this but I'm sure that never happened.
Seemed to work just fine for the previous 11 years
Anyway, if it seems like you haven't received anything for a while, sign in and see if you get the same message I got.

Same thing happened to me. I hadn't gotten anything in ages. Logged in and the message was that they couldn't contact me with the file email address. Put in the same email and started getting offers immediately.

I've been converting $60 ER to 500 Hertz points every quarter. Before that, I funded my HH account.

Are 7000 HH points worth more to you than 2000 legacy airline miles? Or $34, which is roughly the value of the Southwest credit?
On an unrelated note, I'm becoming frustrated with their customer service. Used to respond very quickly to problems. Now I've had two surveys with genuine technical problems, I'm out about $5, and they aren't answering anymore. Frustrating.

No, but so what? Do you think it is?

You're lucky to have any airlines as options. I've only got hotels. For me, the Hilton points would definitely be the best option.

Really sorry to hear that since I just sent them an irate email! I'd gotten one of those interminable time-wasting surveys that takes up 15 to 20 minutes to do and then unceremoniously dumps you at the end because they had enough responses from my survey group. Definitely not cool.

I've had a few surveys where they asked me some demographics, then went on to ask opinions about products, got a fair bit of information out of me, then kicked me out. It seems to me they are becoming counter-productive being so trigger happy to kick people out. It just encourages us to try to tell them what we think they want to hear rather than our honest opinions. And they have our demographics in our profiles anyways-age, sex, race, etc, so why can't they just pre-qualify us?

Points now instead of "dollars"?
I got an e-mail yesterday with the usual offer of e-Rewards currency:
But today I got an survey offering "opinion points."
Hopefully, 100 opinion points = 1 e-rewards "dollar". If so, I like the change, since it makes it clear that what you get for answering surveys has no cash value.
