e-rewards

[nickelfish1]

Does anyone participate in e-rewards? If so, wondering if anyone has an opinion on which is the best transfer partner. I have almost $800 sitting in mine and want to transfer it. I don't have any plans for their use..hence why they sit there...but thinking maybe just putting them into Avios or a hotel program. Most of the airlines don't make sense unless you're trying to get Southwest companion ticket maybe.

Yep - I participate in e-rewards. Southwest is always my redemption choice.

Hertz points for me.

Multiple emails. Multiple addresses - old ones in foreign countries count, right? Multiple award benefits. Be sure to clear the cache though.

I usually keep a couple hundred for their transfer flexibility. Avios has a pretty good ratio.

Alaska Air. Because they don't belong to any alliance, but are allied with many airlines, they're very flexible. And you can get biz class for much less than the airline itself charges, on many of them.

I always transfer mine to JetBlue miles as it's my most frequently used airline. I haven't seen anything else besides the airlines that you can effectively use for redemption there.

I agree. They frequently offer to allow the miles to be used for restaurant.com.

But in my area, anyway, the only restaurants that participate are not all that great, so why bother?

I just read that e-rewards don't count for the companion pass. http://travelwithgrant.com/2014/12/02/southwest-airlines-companion-pass-part-3-hyatt-points-and-e-rewards-transfers/
