E-Rewards direct Velocity earn

[kalboy]

I have been a member of E-Rewards for a while now, pushing my points to IHG.
Noticed today on the VA Velocity site an E-Rewards sign-up offer of 750 Velocity points and looking at their rewards center can see that it is now possible to direct earn to VFF.

I have created another account with a different email to try it out.

The option has been around for a while. Existing account holders cannot transfer to Velocity.

Wish Delta was available. Pushing e-Rewards to AA. Before that was VS when they flew here.

Its a lot of time for very little reward

I signed up to E-rewards a couple of years ago (possibly longer) - from what I recall, I received an invitation email from them and the only option offered was VFF points earn.

Yep, I think I got over it after I reached 2,000 points. That was a hell of a lot of surveys!

Depends what time you have.

Since I signed up in 2012 I've transferred 18,000 Velocity points. I don't do all the surveys, can't be bothered sometimes.

18k points for 100 hours effort, money well spent?

I think that the same questions get asked over many many different companies within E-rewards.
Romney in the Intercontinental Hotel meeting or someone at that meeting I attended, mentioned that a person could always answer no to all the starting questions, and get minimum points, good point on that.
Am just answering no to all now.
Just keeping my LeClub Accor account active by it.
Already have my Quickflix and Lumo churning to VFF.

I do them at work during lunch most of the time, so I don't really mind.

I got an IHG email a few days ago offering 1000 point reward to sign up for erewards but you have to use a different email address.

I get about 2,000 VA points per month doing surveys, it doesn't take too much of my time.

I spend 15-20 minutes here and there. I have accumulated 12,000+ e-Rewards points since April which translates to around 3,000 AA miles. Not a lot of effort.

I did see an email about another partner that looked interesting but you can only do that with new accounts not existing accounts.

E-Rewards points earned from non Velocity, ie, straight surveys, it seems can be trasferred to Velocity points, 1200 e-rewards to 250 VFF points. Waiting for the confirmation email.
In my e-rewards account, it does let me put in a request to transfer 1200 e-rewards points to 250 VFF points.
Will check and see if the 250 VFF points appear.
I have not joined e-rewards under the separate VFF log in or enrolment.
Have to wait now.
If it works, I would be happy.

Got the email.
Now waiting in the next few days for the points to appear in my VFF account.

I recently signed up for Velocity and then linked through to the e-rewards site. Completed my first survey on the 29th August and the 750 points were in my account on the 3rd of Sept.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I have just got 250 base VFF points, (from I think it was 1250 e-rewards points) and these were gained apart from joining VFF and e-rewards tie in.
So anyone can transfer their e-rewards points into VFF.
Takes a few days, but it works.
So no need to specifically set up another email address to join e-rewards to get a tie in with VFF to get VFF points.
But if there were VFF bonus points you mean, and not base VFF for r-rewards, then, probably have to set up another email address.

I don't mind doing the surveys when I have time. Only get annoyed if the survey states it will take you around 25 minutes and it ends up taking you over an hour! Clearly I'm slow..... :shock:

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Each of those surveys come from different companies within the "umbrella" of e-rewards, so if you see a few like how much you earn, etc, you could just come right down to the "right" or your "play" amount if you don't want to give them your full/real annual income.
Age: 4x
Male or Female: Male
State in which you live: SA
Place: Adelaide
Income: $40,xx_
You could also skew the results by (as I was told) saying NO to the main few questions, if you just need the 25/50 e-rewards points to tide your VFF account till your next flight.
I love the electronics one, ((Have you bought a wide screen tv in the past 6 months? Do you plan to buy a wide screen TV in the next 6 months)).
I fly several times a year with VA, so don't really need to put e-rewards points to VFF, but just to see who it worked, I gave it try (transfer).

Just got an odd one that requires me to down load a plug in called userzoom. I have not done so, but just wonder if others rec'd it?

Are you ready to be part of the study?

It should be fun and give you a break from your usual routine, but there are a few things you need to know before you start.​

This study is a little different.
You will be asked to perform a few tasks on a website and then answer some questions. Simple, right?
Sometimes people rush through a task without giving it a proper attempt. If we find people haven’t done the tasks properly, they may not be rewarded and won’t be asked to do future studies. (We know this isn’t you, but we thought you would like to know.)

Download the plugin.
When you continue, you will be asked to download a small plugin - so we can track what is good or bad about the website you visit.

The plugin is safe and can be uninstalled at the end of the study.

I have in the past, Generally, it gives a task, such as say, get a quote for insurance on something, or find the product that provides something, or whatever. Then opens a website, and does some monitoring of how you go about getting that quote, or identifying the product, or whatever.

Thank for that. But I feel reticent. This sounds scary - "read and change all my data on websites I visit."
