E-Rewards...what do I do with the balance?

[mrsbballref]

I finally got up to the $25 mark on E-Rewards.
Now what? Their pay-outs don't seem to be
that great. Should I just wait to see what else
they come out with? Mine are good until July 2005.

Thanks.

I just had to cash out since my points would expire. I'd had onto them unless there is a reward you really want.

Just being nosy... what did you use yours for,
Denise?

Blockbuster Rentals

I've used all of my E-Rewards to purchase Hilton Honors Points. I now have enough to buy a 4-Day Hopper, which we will trade up to a child's AP once we get to WDW next Jan.

If you don't need to cash out, you might want to wait until $50, as the rewards are better - you get 3,000 Hhonors points instead of 1,000 for $25. My husband gets a lot more opportunities for $$$ than I do, but we have a "mutual fund" hhonors account, so we can both redeem to the same account. We have enough points for 2 adult hoppers right now.

If you don't do Hilton Hhonors, I would do Hertz, American Airlines or Blockbuster. The other offers don't seem like much IMO.

At some point, you may have to cash out some of your earnings. eRewards sent me an email back in April that I had to redeem some of my earnings (since they earned over six months ago) or else they would expire. Since I already redeemed some earnings for Blockbuster videos and Hilton Honors points within the past year, I finally chose an Omaha steak gift certificate so I wouldn't lose the earnings.

Hopefully you'll reach a desired reward's level before you're asked to redeem them.
