Higher-than-usual 800 Avios bonus for signing up with e-Rewards

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

I am not a big fan of earning Avios or indeed any loyalty points via e-Rewards. That said, when I wrote this article four years ago about the ‘points for questionnaires’ company, I got a mini-backlash from people who were doing quite nicely out it.

In general, with most loyalty partners, you cannot join e-Rewards at will. You had to wait to be invited by a sponsoring hotel or airline.

The avios.com and British Airways Executive Club versions, on the other hand, are available for anyone to sign up.

And, until 31st March, avios.com is offering 800 Avios points for joining and completing just one survey. This is an admittedly modest increase on the usual bonus of 750 Avios.

If you join via British Airways Executive Club, the bonus is just 750 Avios.

The avios.com sign-up page is here.

The ba.com sign-up page is here (scroll down to the e-rewards box)

In theory you could sign up for both if you used a different email address …..

The company is also an Iberia Plus partner, but that version remains ‘invitation only’.

Long-term, I am not a fan of e-Rewards. I think that it requires more effort than it is worth. However, 750 or 800 Avios for completing one survey is an option too good to miss.

Over the last 12 months, I’ve received 8250 Avios and 28,000 HH points from e-rewards.
I’ve received 13,170 Avios from RFT.

Over the last four months, my OH has received 4750 Avios from e-rewards and 3750 Avios from RFT.

So we are on track for about 45,000 Avios a year.

That’s not counting sign up bonuses,

However, I am retired so have time on my hands.

Some of the surveys are really interesting, and you occasionally get free products to try out. Nothing exciting, but I’ve had toothpaste and Knorr stock cubes.

  I got a Heineken draft beer machine once with 20 litres of beer. They were meant to collect it but never did and they’re just starting to sell it officially now so can buy the refills for it. Other than that I’ve also been sent deodorant and a copy of the evening standard.

An aside, out of interest – did everyone who registered for AerClub in December/early January receive their welcome 250 avios? I never received mine.
- Thomas says:

  I think the question should be did anyone receive their points. Mine are still missing.
  - Mo says:

    I contacted AerClub and they wanted proof that I signed up, I had to send them screenshots! Still not got the points, if nobody else has, maybe this should be flagged on the site here?

Can anyone confirm that you can use more than one erewards account to redeem with Hilton etc? As I understand it you are not allowed to have more than 1 erewards per loyalty scheme so I stick to redeeming from the same account on each. But would be handy to know if they don’t notice that the erewards conversions have come from more than one account.

  They do not keep the HH number so you can credit points to OH’s account or another account in your own name.
  - Liz says:

    Do they not match the names – can I transfer daughters pts to my HH account if surname and address are the same – do they not check that?

      Just go into the members area and change the name on the ereward account, then do the transfer, works with any FF or hotel programme.

  Saw this on OMAAT yesterday, seems totally bonkers – I can see the logic in separating some of the OW status levels but to get up to that number of boarding groups is taking the proverbial!

a bit OT
Has anyone managed to merge HHonors account in the same name please?
- Rob says:

  There used to be an option on the HH website which allowed you to do this – I always thought it was an odd feature to publicise but it was there.
  - mark2 says:

    Sorry, I meant managed to make that facility work. I have done it on two accounts and nothing has happened. I will try chat.

I have given it a go and already had the frozen screen towards the end of a survey and twice been told that they have reached the number of people required for the survey despite answering many pages of questions on the subject before hand !
I agree that if you are time rich it probably works for you . For me with a busy lifestyle and job I would rather earn by other means !!

“Long-term, I am not a fan of e-Rewards. I think that it requires more effort than it is worth.”

It doesn’t really take that much time to do a questionnaire or two, lots pay out 500 e-Rewards and for a couple of hours a month, you can bank a fair amount. I recently cashed out 7,000 Honors and a £20 Amazon gift card for very little work over the past month.
