e-rewards tends to go in fits and starts. Over the past several days, I have gotten lucky and qualified for one or two, along with a few that booted me. Take advantage of the surveys while you can, since you may not see another one for a while.
Why start now? $7,500 gets you 4,500 Club Carlson points. $100 in e-rewards currency can get you any of the following: 4,000 Choice points, 4,000 La Quinta points, 4,000 Priority Club points or 7,000 Hilton points. What do those all have in common? Not a single one will get you enough points for a hit. Furthermore, there may be limitations on the number of transfers to a particular partner in a quarter, which means you need to get these transferred by the end of September to be able to get a second transfer in during the third quarter to top off your balances. And let's not forget the 500 emiles you can get for $25 e-dollars or the actual US Airways hit you can get for transferring 25 e-dollars.
The bottom line is this: You are going to need several hundred e-dollars to convert to hotel points to max out on these hits. True, there are easier ways to get those hotel points, but e-rewards is consistent. The good news is that there is a lot of time between now and next September, so get crackin!
