well ill be damned. so did mine but i made my redemptions before the T&C changed on e-rewards even though IHG unwritten policy was that they no longer qualify.

can u make a another redemption and see what happens? im quite a ways away from gold

How long does it typically take them to respond to a request to reactivate an account? My account was disactivated (no idea why) and sent an email with an automated response that due to the nature of my request it may take a while for a response.

It really pisses me off that I had a lot in currency in my account and all the time I spent on surveys and gave a lot of personal info out (I'm a type I diabetic and did a couple lengthy surveys giving out a lot of personal and health info including my meds and doses). What really pisses me off is they received money from the sponsor who is using this info.

Is there any enrollment link available at all for US-based e-rewards? I checked through United, JetBlue, Southwest (all of whom used to have the e-rewards signup link on their partners page), but they don't anymore.

Choice hotels had until very recently, you may check...

Choice does not anymore either.

Is anyone else having this sort of "issue".... I get an e-mail saying I have a survey available, and when I click on it..it wont load and just hangs and times out...ALSO even when going to e-rewards website and logging in, it will say i have a survey to complete....yet it wont load, hangs and times out....sent numerous e-mails to customer service thru their website, and just get a generic response saying we got your message and will be in contact.and no furher response from them..This has been going on for almost two weeks!! What Gives E-Rewards???

I see that American Airlines does.....its under "earn miles" then under bussiness/financial

No. Clicking on the e-rewards link does not open up the signup page, just a generic landing page with no option to sign up.

So .... no way to sign up for US based folks still.

You are right, I just tried the info on AA website...just a landing page....no option to sign up

I think your IP is blacklisted or you are using vpn.

i find everything back on track with e-rewards no more issues except the occasional verify capture thing.

I've complained here before about getting kicked out of a survey after 10+ minutes of thoughtfully answering detailed questions, commenting on potential marketing, etc. and I know others have, too. I wanted to report a happy outcome. Twice in one week I completed 20-minute, very detailed surveys on my alcohol purchases and consumption, and both times was told I'd finished the survey and qualified for an extra section. I opted to complete the extra section and got kicked out a few questions later, apparently with no credit.

After the second time I contacted e-Rewards. It took them a few days to get back but the person who responded had actually checked my records and had seen that I'd spent a good deal of time on the surveys and credited my account with a total of $25.

So, it paid to complain (tactfully, with facts). They need to know when their clients are cheating the survey-takers because it can discourage the people who take the time to answer carefully and also cheats the companies that play by the rules.

I've had the same experience on the SAME survey twice! Finished and got to the "would you be willing to answer more questions for more $" took it then got booted and received no credit at all!

The first time I complained and got the same response you did - you spent a lot of time so we'll give you the credit. It happened again a few weeks later and they didn't ever respond to my complaint (other than the robo response).

Any more data points on this?

I had a deposit post, but no elite qualifying

New issue for me. I've been trying since April to deposit $100ER for 2000 Alaska miles. It will not go through. I'm told that the name doesn't match on the two accounts, even though both ER and Alaska each have the same name. I finally took my $100 back...any suggestions on how to get this to go through?

mine works. usually gets deposited in 2-4 days.

Haven't done this yet, redeemed to Accor instead as I needed them for future stays.

If IHG are going to be non-EQ from now on, I'm seriously considering switching my redemptions to Hilton. The ratio is much better.

how effective are the restrictions:

say you have two e-rewards accounts, can you credit them both to the same airline within 30 days? ie united says on redemption per member account/e-reward account per 30 day period. would they know if two separate e-reward accounts made a redemption into the same united account?

very effective. It will not work.

Asking me for SMS verification again................................. thought it would be a one-off thing but apparently not! :-/

US or UK account?

redeemed this morning didn't require one

All the bans and lockdowns must have greatly reduced e-rewards population of survey takers. I wonder if they will eventually make it easier again.

I read somewhere (probably here) that if you redeem too often (like more than once a week) it will ask you for verification.

ahah good to know. although u would have to be earning aloooooooot of points to redeem more than once a week.

US account
125 USD for Hilton points
Previous redemptions: June 22 (Hertz), June 18 (2x Le Accor).

E-rewards points are not "US dollars." They are "E-rewards dollars" and each is worth about a third of a US dollar. Example: redeem 75 E-rewards dollars for a $25 (USD) gift card.

Oh dear......................

If anyone gets the Travel & Tourism survey on "Local Lodges", screen yourself out ASAP.

I was asked many time-consuming questions on where I have travelled and how much I spent on accommodation, what was important to me about accommodation and such like.

Once they had the answers they wanted, I was kicked out with no reward.

Very disingenuous.

:(

I got the email notification of this post and was about to ask for help until I realised you were quoting a four month old post. :)

I tried loading a survey as usual this morning but got the message

"Sorry, there is a problem processing your request. Please try again later."

I get the same result when click through old emails.

This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years and makes me really hesitant to do any survey over 10-15 minutes just for that very risk. Last week I had that happen on a survey around 85% through and 15 minutes in. :mad:

Same if there are any diabetics who get one asking questions, just screen yourself out and say you aren't a diabetic. I received one this morning and spent almost 15 minutes answering questions and gave out a lot of good info about doses, etc only to receive a message they had already received enough responses. I think if you spend more than a minute or two answering screening questions they should have to give you credit for the whole survey or least more than the 25 cents

Another one for TV watching methods. It asked about all manner of details regarding all ways to watch TV (Cable, internet appliance, smart TV, etc) and all the common streaming sites (Hulu, etc) and all the paid streaming sites. Seemed like close to 10 mins of questions and then kicked me out with partial credit. Most pages served off rackcdn.com.

Has anyone received the 10.00 erewards for completing 5+ surveys by June 30? :confused:

This was promised in the "Summer Bonus Offer" email sent out initially on June 1 and again several times throughout that month.

Did anyone receive credit for the household cleaning survey two weeks ago. It involved logging into a site for two days and you were suppose to get a lot of currency for going to Kroger and posting a video and pics of their cleaning section. I'm going to be upset if I don't get that compensation.

It was a waste of time for me to take a survey today which called for me to click on long lists of medical conditions and symptoms that I had ever in my life experienced or that my kids had ever experienced. It just went on and on and on, and eventually I got screened out, after spending about 20 minutes on it. I think that 99% of the questions that were asked were just masking questions to hide what the survey was truly interested in.

This is happening more and more often, and I'm getting severely browned off with it.
