I've been collecting about $125 per quarter this year so I cash in for two different awards (one hotel, one airline) every three months.

Have you actually seen your account has such restriction?

UA is every 30 days (that is what I really care). Other airlines probably are also only 30 days. Priority Club has no restriction. I think Club Carlson also has no restriction also.

AFAIK, for the hotels, only Hilton has the 90 days limit but since both the e-Reward and the HHonor program have devalued (big time devaluation for HHonor program), transfer to HHonor is absolutely a waste of your hard-earned currency.

Has anyone been getting Hertz points in a timely fashion lately? Are the no-show redemptions from March/April finally showing up?

My points showed up on 6/3 after a follow up email. Never received a reply back but the points did show up.

Tried to redeem to Hertz on 30/12/2012. Nothing arrived, wrote to CS, was told I have to wait 8 weeks as per T&C, before that they wouldn't do anything. Then wrote again, no answer at all for months. Wrote again, and after a considerable delay was told they would look into it, and I have to wait 6-8 weeks. So still no Hertz points for me.

Does anyone know how often US Airways sends an invitation for E-Rewards? I just signed up for Dividend Miles, hoping to get an invitation, so that following the merger I'll hopefully have an E-Rewards account where I can choose any reward (or am I mistaken about this?)

Essentially the same pattern I'm going through with them and still no points here. It's ridiculous and by now they know they had a major problem with multiple account holders and should at least credit accounts with the missing e-reward dollars.

It's pretty darn simple. I requested points in March. ER$ subtracted from account. No Hertz points have posted (from erewards). They should be able to see that when they contact Hertz. Either post some points or return the ER$. What in the h*&# is the problem on e-rewards' customer service end? Never had a problem in the past with customer service if points didn't post from a survey, even when it was ER$35 (they manually fixed it in less than a day), but all of a sudden they are becoming intractable.

Just spent 15 minutes on a survey only to be told they had filled their quota on this quiz. It kicked me out and didn't even give me .25. Sad thing was it was only a $2.00 survey. By the way it was about shampoo so don't waste your time if you get it.

Same thing happened to me yesterday evening .... damn them!

Ah, thank you...I always redeem for Hilton so I though the 90 day rule was across the board. I'll start redeeming husband's AA account more frequently.

I wouldn't really call this hard earned currency, just clicking away on your computer lol...I actually enjoy taking these surveys.

Personally I am up to my ears in UA miles with no use for them (except possibly trade on CC) but I can always find a use for the Hilton points, even after the horrible points deval. They just add up so quickly. My e-Rewards account is from HH so no devaluation there, I still collect 7K points per $100. To each her own, but 28K HH points a year works better for me than 8K airline miles.

Have e-rewards got wise to HotSpot Shield? I'm overseas and I've not had a survey that hasn't "expired" immediately I click on it for at least a month, probably more, even though I get at least 5 emails from e-rewards each week. HotSpot Shield used to solve the issue of being abroad, but it doesn't seem to make any difference now, unless there's some other reason why I'm having problems. Any ideas?

I'm currently living in Paris (and not the one in Texas) and none of the proxy siites I've tried have worked for the past month or so. If you find one that does could you PM me and I'll do likewise. Merci.

Had the same problem a few days ago (although it wasn't shampoo.) I emailed e-rewards to express my dismay at this chicanery, and they emailed back quite quickly to apologize and said I would be credited with the full amount.

When these things happen, you have to complain. E-rewards doesn't know the survey firms are pulling these stunts unless you tell them.

Same problem here. I would be willing to get the paid version if I knew it would work. There are recommendations here but most people just want Hulu and Netflix so don't know if they work for E-Rewards. I wish there was some way to verify I am a US citizen and just have permanent access to surveys wherever I am. This is such a PITA.

If you have the firefox browser, anonymoX works! It's a add-on for the browser and works great. I use it all the time with no issues. Just make sure you are on one of the *US identities* and you should be good to go. :D
