It is really enforced because it is built into the program and the system would not let you. This is true for ALL e-Reward redemption, not just Hertz. You dont really think they would have a human actually checking on your online redemption and hope it would slip thru when the human fails to catch it? (i.e. "enforcement")

Definitely enforced. It's a computer program. It won't let you until a new month rolls around.

Got it, thanks. I thought there was a chance it was not enforced.

I signed up with E-rewards through a United invitation to get 250 bonus miles. These will be credited after I complete one survey. However, every single survey I attempt to complete is expired. I get a survey invitation in my inbox and within a hours sometimes go to complete it and it is expired. I don't get it. This has happened almost ten times. Any ideas as to why? Why would they send out survey invitations that expire immediately?

Same here. I signed up, it kicked me out at the end of the process, and now the link won't work anymore.
On another note, it appears that AA has a PUBLIC offer to join e-Rewards and get 250 miles for signing up. I did, created an account, completed a couple of surveys, and got a confirmation email that my 250 miles will be deposited in 4-6 weeks.

I've just been invited to join e-rewards through Virgin Australia's Velocity Rewards. Is this the only non-US scheme using e-rewards?

When accessing the survey you must have an IP address from the same country as in your e-rewards profile. Otherwise all the surveys are expired.
Virgin Australia is not the only non-US partner, there are BA And Iberia Avios too, Air France and a lot of other countries, but I don't know any partners from them.

Here's my list of non-USA airline redemption options-

Emirates
Iberia
Etihad
Virgin Atlantic
AeroMexico
Flying Blue (Air France/KLM)

I'm not sure e-Rewards is active in those countries, or if they were just cheap for the company to partner with for USA redemptions. I don't have Virgin Australia listed as a redemption option FWIW and I supposedly have all USA-based redemptions since I'm there via the now-cancelled Delta Sky Miles route.

Rewards changed (for worse)?
 

I just logged in today and saw the redemption chart changed:

All Airline options gone except for AAdvantage
HHonors 7000 points now costs $125 (used to be $100)

yikes! when did this happen???

Edit: checked with my friend and apparently its me only. Emailed CS and will see what they say.

It's not only you. If you read the thread just a few pages back you will see the Hilton change has been reported by several users. It happened in 2012.

Hilton is now $125 unless you signed up to e-Rewards through HH (in which case it is still $100).

Look upthread - covered extensively.

How many points are needed to get a Hertz one day economy rental.

Also, if I rent for lt's say five days, can a Hertz reward be used to pad it up for 6 days or shall they be separate transactions.

Sorry I am not too familiar with Hertz. For the moment I redeem on Airtran and it works great. Wondering if I am missing anything here..

Minos

Depends on the country, 600 points in the US, 900 in Europe, 1200 in Brazil

You might be able to get more detailed answers in the Hertz forum.

United mileage transfer time?
 

I just transferred $25 of Erewards in to 500 miles for my wife's United account from her E-Rewards account a few days ago. I know with Hilton in the past the transfer was fairly instant, but this one seems to be lagging. Any experience with timing?
