e-rewards question

**rene13** · 07-26-2004, 08:51 PM

Has anyone cashed in their points for Omaha Steak. Do you get a certificate that you can use to purchase Omaha products anywhere (like I could buy through My Points and get the points from them) or do you have to order the meats from the e-reward site?
Thye sent me notification that my points will expire on the 31st. I have already redeemed for blockbuster this year so I can't get more of them. Don't know what else I really want.
TIA

Do they have this reward again? When I checked about 2 weeks ago, they didn't have any & had removed it due to someone posting the deal on an internet message board (I emailed them to ask when it would be available again since there isn't much I can cash out for).

You would get a code, I believe, to use a Omaha Steaks. That's what I got last year when I cashed out for ebags. However, there were restrictions on it's use (couldn't combine with other offers, etc.), so make sure you read the fine print.

HTH,

Thanks for your input. Actually, what do I have to lose. If I don't cash in I will lose 75% of my points and if I can't use it the way I wish I lose the points anyway. I wish they had better options at e-rewards.

Cash them in for the HiltonReward points. You can do that every 3 months and they can be used to exchange for frequent flier miles, hotel stays, or rewards from the HiltonRewards catalogue.

That is the only prize I ever use from e-rewards.

I didn't know you could cash out for Hilton Honors every 3 months! Darn, now i'm going to lose points cause I waited to cash out.
I cashed out for the Omaha Steaks last year and ended up not even using the certificate. If I remember right,You had to use the link from their email and it was $25 off purchase of regular priced items. No combining with other offers, etc. You can get just as good a deal through other sites when they have special offers, so it's nothing special. But if you're going to lose the points anyway, go ahead and try it. Then let us know if anything has changed.

I got the same email about the expiring points. It wouldn't let me do the one for Blockbuster's again this year (the only one worth anything, IMHO).

Thought about the steaks, but there wasn't any detail available and I figured it wasn't any different than those promos they send in the mail from time to time, so I cashed out for the ebags coupon. They have zillions of things, few restricted brands that you can't use the coupon on (nothing that I wanted anyway) and their shipping costs seem reasonable. Oh well, if I lose it from not using it, c'est la vie it was all free for some fast clicks on their ads and questionnaires anyway.

Has anyone ever cashed out for the FTD $25 GC? Says off any purchase. Can't do BB again until 2005, so am looking for alternatives.
Thanks.

I think they changed the way Omaha Steaks works and you get a link so you can't go thru MyPoints. I cashed out in Sept. and I'm pretty sure that's how I had to use it.

It was posted on the board recently someone cash out for Omaha Steaks and they send you a link where you can only used them only for certain items. I only cash out for Blockbuster gift certicates you get them email to you with your name on it can used one a month for 6 month. They need more stuff and better offers I have over $70 in my account and don't see nothing good to cash out for. Here's the post about that.

I have already done the Blockbuster, which IMHO, was only one worth getting. I'll have to check out the FTD award, that's new to me. It does seem like there is no minimum purchase (except for the fact that everything costs WAY more than $25, but it's still better than even the AAA or entertainment discounts.)

The Omaha steaks don't seem to be worth it. Go to the grocery store and buy meat if you want it.

That Forzieri cr-- I mean junk is stupid & overpriced. Probably stuff from China with a fake Italian name

What do you do with the Hilton Honors points?

I don't ski, so snowbird is out, and in order to get the American miles you have to fly.
I think you can do better for magazines thru shopathomeselect or ebates, or even get them for free from reading the free stuff board

and you don't have to spend so much either.

I hate having to spend money to use the "reward". I cashed out for the ebags $25 off of $75 coupon, several months ago in order not to lose the $$. I haven't needed anything, so it's still sitting in my inbox.

(if anyone wants it you can PM me and I might just give it to you - just so I can forget about it -- no expiration date on it but you can't combine it with a points program b/c there is a special URL to use).

Ok now I'm done -- and thank you for letting me rant (and surprisingly about something other than the election results) for a little while!
