Same here. I don't remember - it was years ago - but that would probably explain why I have all the airlines and no other hotels. So maybe there is a reward for being their invitee - or as speculated maybe it's just testing what people will buy.

Either way the low reward level is wasted on me as I prefer airline miles!

Or maybe E-rewards is doing A/B testing, testing different mixes of redemption offers. Or maybe they are (as a previous poster theorized) changing the Hilton offer in tranches. But why would E-rewards need to make the change one batch at a time instead of all at once, IF E-rewards had already decided that 7,000 points for $100 was too generous? If they are doing A/B testing then I am in the lucky group that has not (so far) been changed. And, if they are testing, and the change shows that the change is not achieving the metrics that E-rewards thought it would meet, then maybe it will be rolled back globally. (Until E-rewards thinks of another A/B test to run ...)

Just my 2cents. I obviously have no real knowledge about what E-rewards is doing. But I work at an E-commerce company, and we are doing A/B testing of one kind or another almost constantly. So that is why my thoughts went that direction.


I noticed that 7,000 Hilton went up to $125 for me recently. Anyone else? Also, none of my other redemption options have gone above the $100 threshhold.

Been discussed for quite some time by many. Search and ye shall find.

Took one flight on Spirit about 10 years ago but got an e-rewards invitation from Spirit Airlines as one of their valued customers.

I wonder if it was a mailing list sale, rather than direct solicitation by Spirit. Even though they're the sponsor, and the one that will reward the mileage, I'm wondering if there is a conduit in the middle.

When redeeming to DL it shows up instantly in your DL account.
Why not with UA. Why should they be any different?
It has been days now and nothing. I am sure it will get there in time, but if they can do it instantly to DL, why not to all partners?

I just noticed it as well. I crossed the $100 mark and went to redeem. Now I may redeem it for something else. I am not happy.

I have an e-rewards account through HH and I still have $100 for 7 K redemption. So u may want to subscribe to HH offers and hope that they send u an e-rewards invitation.

I would have to close my E Rewards account before HH would even think of giving me an offer to join E Rewards HH. You cannot have two E Rrewards accounts.

U can have more than 1 e-r account. They should be in different names though. It is very easy to change the name on e-r and can be done frequently. At the time of redemption just change it to match the name on your FF/Hotel account.

e-rewards?
 
I'm Canadian - any idea how I can get an invite to e-rewards?

Me neither. Pushed my award to Priority Club instead.

No, you don't have to close, they don't check that when sending invitations. If you have an invitation and want to play by the rules, close the existing account first, but it's not necessary.
I've had HH account for 6-7 years and haven't received an invitation to join e-rewards through them yet, so it may be a long wait.

Either I'm getting old or there's something strange going on.... can someone please remind me where to see when my $ will expire and how much as I can't find the relevant screen. Thanks.
