Not sure where you get that idea. The smallest transfer amount is the worst ratio, i.e., 1,000 HH points for $25 = 2.5 cents per point; 2,500 points for $50 = 2 cents per point; 4,500 points for $75 = 1.67 cents per point (the best deal); and 7,000 points for $125 = 1.79 cents per point. Maybe your redemption prices are different from what I posted?
This info is provided on the erewards website when you do the transfer, BEFORE you finalize it. Right now, it says the following for HH: "Redemption of this Reward is limited. You may claim one Hilton Honors Reward per 60-day period per Hilton Honors account and/or e-Rewards Member account."
Note that the limitations change from time to time. HH has in the past required 90 days between redemptions, and they also later removed any restriction on frequency, but at the moment, it is 60 days.

Anyone having trouble getting Hilton Points?
I did a $125 E-Rewards Transfer for 7K Hilton Honors Points on Nov 2, unaware of that Hilton website maintenance. It hasn't posted as of today Nov 12. Sent 5 emails to Hilton, got runaround that they will post soon - for 4 of them, only 1 said to call. Someone give that 1 correct response from Hilton a reward. But we all know this reward is an instant posting + my number was typed correctly in E-Rewards----I checked with my number in hand before going forward. I'm gonna have to call Hilton about this----this week. That's 7000 Points!

Signup link?
I tried to find this covered earlier in the thread with no luck.
I'm trying to get my mom an invite link so she can redeem with Hilton and Alaska.
When I signed up a few years ago, I’m fairly sure I found the link on Alaska’s website, but I can’t find anything now.
How can she signup?
Thanks

The points posted today. So it took about 6 days, although per one of the above comments, that may have related to the point in the week that I redeemed. tls

Haven't redeemed recently. (I did do a "dummy" redemption, where I started the process but cancelled it, just to check the current restrictions on redemption frequency.)

Same here. I'm just short of $100 & keep hoping I'll get enough to redeem while I keep seeing 7k H points for a $100.

Anyone else noticed that there are more and more surveys that ask you all the questions, and when one should get rewards, one gets notice that unfortunately one does not fit into the survey? Had two such encounters just today.

It seems to me that the screening (for DQ) should be limited to demographics and one or two pertinent subject-matter related questions (e.g., Do you own a car? When did you last shop for auto insurance?) and anything beyond that should qualify for the success amount. Clearly going through a whole series of pertinent questions and then being DQ'd after 5 minutes of answering questions should not be permitted.

Same question. I used to transfer e-rewards points to avios.com and further to BAEC. Since all native avios.com accounts are now closed, what to enter when redeeming at e-rewards? The avios.com chat told me to switch to "Rewards for Thoughts" because avios.com are no more partnered with e-rewards, however e-rewards is still listed on avios.com and redeeming on e-rewards to Avios is possible.
You can still redeem for Avios using your Avios number. The Avios will then be transferred to your BA Executive Club account. Once the BA Executive Club miles reward option is available in the Reward Centre, you can use your BA Executive Club account number to redeem.

Have seen several surveys recently where the initial question is :
“How would you best describe your level of involvement in your company's purchase process for _________________?”
And the item is something nonsensical like “rocket-powered axle flangellators”
Response choices are :
Sole decision-maker
Shared decision-maker
Not involved
Not applicable
Seeking advice : what is the model answer here to make sure you go forward into the survey ?
Or is this purely a non-functional question designed to waste your time ?
