How quickly do Southwest miles post?
 
I was wondering how long does it take to get Southwest miles redemptions into the account?

The site says 4 to 6 weeks, but also it says it takes only 30 minutes to get the redemption confirmation. Not clear on what this means.

I've only redeemed for magazine subscriptions. Does it really take this long for miles? If so, it seems really useless to use eRewards for quick redemptions.

The only airline redemptions I've done have been UA and AA, and they both have taken about a week. tls

+1 .... have also done US and Delta (when Delta was a partner).

Miles showed up in my account within 3 - 10 days.

The only truly instant airline redemption I've come across is for Opinion Miles Club, and they're United-only. For the rest of them, I'd expect 2-3 weeks to post and be pleasantly surprised if the miles/points showed up early.

I've received an email for an $8 survey taking 30 minutes 10 to 15 times. I took it the 1st time I got the email, and got the $8. Thereafter I continue to get this email, altho it won't let me take the survey again. Is this happening to anyone else? Kind of annoying to keep getting this email. Wonder if their site was hacked? tls

Transferred from E-rewards uk to Avios.com and BAEC last Wednesday, Avios.com showed up yesterday (Tuesday sweeps?)

Nothing on BAEC

BAEC Avios post once per month, usually at the beginning. Avios.com Avios post once per week, on Tuesday. Iberia Avios used to post once per week too, but the last time it took 2 months.

Thanks, that would explain why I don't see the British airways points...

Interesting I am receiving multiple emails from e-rewards with "quick tips" and frequent pop ups on my iPhone from e-rewards mobile.

As am I with both the "quick tips" e-mails and the mobile app pop-ups (and speaking of the mobile app, it is <inserting my Boston accent> wikid slow on my iPhone :td:)

I received the $8.00 email for a 30 minute survey 2x today. Their site must have been hacked. Must have been badly if they don't want to tell us ... tls

I get the notifications, but when I get to the mobile app, there's nothing there. Has anyone had any success with this?

I had the same problem. There's a new app that has to be downloaded. The surveys show up there.

Uptown_Girl Dec 29, 2013 1:23 am

I don't think the app is worth it. When I first downloaded it, I would get the usual $4 surveys which were fine. By late November, they were offering $1 for answering questions about each store you shopped in on Black Friday.

Now, I either get "Just for Fun" questions that pay no money or surveys that promise me a quarter. Seriously, what's the point? I'm not about to stay hunched over my phone, tapping away for five minutes, for 25 cents of e-rewards currency!
