Yes, it is the maximum and it looks like you can only do one redemption every 30 days. The other levels are $25 = 500 miles, $50 = 1,000 miles.
Redemption of MileagePlus miles, through e-Rewards, is limited to one (1) redemption per 30-day period, per MileagePlus account and/or e-Rewards member account.

Anyone else receive an invitation to install the E-Rewards Notify program? I thought I'd give it a whirl and installed it. It runs in the background, and apparently does a pop-up when a new survey is available. Hopefully that'll avoid the annoying instances where you get an email, click the link, and receive a message that the survey has expired.

@KathinJax: Thanks! That's what I was after
@MeLike2Travel: I've not had an invitation to install the notify program, but I often get the survey expired messages. Sometimes when I've got my inbox open I see an email arrive with an invitation for a survey and click on it straight away and it has already expired. Have contacted their support who were utterly clueless. Any ideas what causes this? Is it perhaps a dead link that they erroneously send out?

Sometimes I get a notification about the same survey after I've done it because I checked my email earlier.

I see this too. Lame! Anyway. I am debating getting CC, PC or waiting 2 months to get more hertz points. Any thoughts, I have $100. I want more hertz points but I get impatient when it come to redemptions. I think I can gain more money in two months. I have been averaging about 1 to 2 surveys per day. I have no pressing need for any points outside of hertz would just be top offs.

Heads up for those of you that use Dropbox and e-Rewards Notify.
I noticed that my Dropbox sync stopped working recently and have been trying to figure out why. It gives an error stating that my computer's date and time are wrong, even though it's correct and has been synced to several different NTP servers.
I've tried uninstalling Dropbox and reinstalling it. None of my other computers have sync issues.
It turns out that e-Rewards Notify has been messing with the SSL connection Dropbox uses to sync. After uninstalling it, Dropbox worked again perfectly.

To add, the only reason I used e-rewards in the first place that is it seems to be the only option in getting Hertz points without actual rentals, i.e. through a points/portal transfer.

I redeemed $60 e-rewards for 500 Hertz points back in early August (was hoping for a Labor Day free rental - how naive!). Three months later I still don't have it. Half away through the waiting period (around mid September) I've contacted e-rewards about the issue, got a reply that they are "looking into this" and would let me know as soon as possible about the the problem. It's been 3 months since the redemption and I have no hopes of ever getting those Hertz points. All other redemptions always worked for me - from a near instant posting for Hilton Honors to the longest for La Quinta.

Bummer, yeah I had a Hertz redemption post to my account in 4-5 days recently.
I'm guessing e-rewards customer service doesn't exactly consider participants to be their customers. I've asked them several times about switching airline programs on my account. I expected them to say "no", but they managed to fly under those expectations by simply not replying.

Me too. Not only that, after I finally hit the $125 threshold this week and redeemed the 7k award, no transfer occurred. In my experience e-rewards transfers to HHonors have always been instantaneous. This time, nothing. I will give it a few days before I contact "customer service," but between this and the diluted Hilton redemption rate, e-rewards is scarcely worth doing anymore.

This afternoon, I participated in an interactive 90-minute on-line focus group through e-rewards (the subject was advertising about the oil and gas industry). I am supposed to receive $35 in e-rewards credits for this session. Very interesting ..... I had not done anything similar on e-rewards. Anybody else do this?
