ERewards- Flying Club redemption levels increased.

Just had an email from ERewards saying that the redemption levels to Flying Club have been increased to :-

1,200 e-Rewards Opinion Points = 250 Flying Club miles
2,000 e-Rewards Opinion Points = 500 Flying Club miles
3,500 e-Rewards Opinion Points = 1,000 Flying Club miles
6,500 e-Rewards Opinion Points = 2,000 Flying Club miles

I don't think I have ever completed a a full survey. I never seem to meet their requirements, and am palmed off with a few consolation points. ?| ?|

Despite this, I have accrued over 4,000 EReward points, so can transfer them to 1,000 FC points - every little helps, as they say. :w

I don't get any VS eReward surveys anymore but recently I've been inundated with BMI/Hilton ones. Had about 6 in the past 2 weeks or so.

Oh good, it used to be 8000 erewards points for 2000 VS miles. I usually manage one 2000 mile transfer each year, yes it can take a while but every little help. I find with erewards that you have to be quick off the mark after receiving the invite to ever get full surveys.

I'm up to 2975 points now and completed a full survey about business last week.

Some are fairly easy to figure out what they want if you don't fancy being honest. I was honest in the last one and somehow went all the way through and got 475 points for it whereas others tell you you're not suitable half way through.

Shouldn't take more than a few months to get to 3500 points!

I gave up on E-rewards well over a year ago - even at these increased transfer rates, I don't consider the time spent completing the surveys is anything like worth it for the highly limited amount of FC miles you can gain - tat's my choice I guess.

I often met the criteria, they seemed to want management types in IT focused business a lot of the time - that's me!!!

I felt that you needed to invest many hours just to get 1000 FC miles - and I lost heart.

If it's an indicator of coming out the recession.... I've been getting a lot more surveys recently and have qualified for quite a few full surveys. Built up 3300 ereward points in the last 6 weeks!!!

Had two longer surveys today - cashed out 2000 points so another 500FC miles coming my way - admittedly only 1000 FC miles so far but worth it for the little amount of time invested in doing the surveys.

I'm up to over 7000 miles on this, have cashed in a couple of times! The frustrating thing and perhaps something to be aware of is that you can only complete one redemption each quarter!

Whilst this isn't generally a problem, it may be worth saving points and cashing in on the larger awards instead of the 500 miles etc. Especially if surveys are increasing which I've really noticed in the last 2 months!

Nice little FC miles side earner though!!

I've had 2 easy surveys in the last 2 days and got at least 1000 points for them.
Got over 4000 points now so could cash in for a 1000 miles if need be.

Has anyone noticed a sharp fall in the number of surveys coming out from e-rewards? I used to see a steady flow, usually atleast 1 per week but they have really died down and the points awarded are far lower.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Do be aware of expiry date of e-rewards. v(


Also, my husband checked his a/c to transfer to Hhonors or VA & he had a free offer to get 500 VA miles. Oh boy, did his fingers move across that keyboard in double quick time. y)

The opposite here actually, after a period of not getting any, I seem to have had loads recently.
