Just checked....mine is still there. I redeemed $100 for 7000 points yesterday. I didn't have Hilton for a while and then it appeared "magically" one day which made me very happy. I had been redeeming miles for PC points prior to that but prefer Hilton. Not asking any questions!

So technically you're not allowed to have 2 accounts, but what if two people were collecting say, Hilton points and were depositing into the same HHonors account to use 1 award, Possible? Sorry if has been answered

Possible, but within time limitations. That is, it is once per 90 day per e-rewards AND Hilton account. By the way, the names generally should match, so you'll need to switch names every time when doing this and the whole story becomes very close to 2 accounts for one person

this must be what happened to me too.
i never hear from them anymore, even though i've updated my profile, etc.
interesting that my level is just short, by a teensy bit, of a cash-out threshold. hmmm. . . . .

I didn't get a survey invitation for over a year, and when I finally emailed them about it a few days ago, I got the following message:

Thank you for contacting e-Rewards. You inquired regarding the decreased frequency of survey invitations that you receive. We have reviewed your past participation in the e-Rewards program and have determined that we stopped sending survey invitations to you as a matter of policy.
e-Rewards serves clients in the consumer packaged goods industry, auto industry, and in general to companies who provide products or services that are sold to businesses and consumers around the world. These clients use survey results to make decisions that have significant financial implications for their companies. As such they rely upon the quality of the survey answers they receive from e-Rewards panelists.
From time to time our clients report that a specific panelist's answers to a survey are unusable because the e-Rewards panelist clearly did not provide consistent, plausible answers to survey questions. When we receive a number of such reports about the same e-Rewards panelist, we stop sending survey invitations to the panelist, as panelists who do not provide honest and thoughtful opinions are not of interest to our clients.
Panelists who are no longer invited to participate in surveys may still have use of their e-Rewards accounts, and may redeem any and all outstanding balances at their disposal.
Sincerely,
Member Services"
Wow, so they do this, after all!

If you are very near a redemption, it's worth revisiting your past links for surveys (click on the survey, already completed, next, etc.), there might be some quick surveys or profile updates waiting for you. You can get about $1-2 without receiving new surveys. Of course, the $ still expire as usual.

That's a nasty change. Also, a dumb one, unless they are planning to reduce the value of the other awards too. 4500 for $75 is now better value, so nobody should bother with the $125 option.
