S.P.A.M. - joined e-rewards last week, still no emails

I joined e-rewards a week ago but still haven't received any emails for "dollars." Is this normal? I signed up for 7+ emails per week, and even tried resubmitting my email address. I even signed up for plenty of interests in the initial survey.

I can earn "dollars" with the earn now option, I'm just not getting any emails.

I have found that I will get flooded with emails and then get none for weeks at a time. It all just a matter of your interests and demographics matching up with their survey request.

My experiences have been similar. I've received 3-4 survey requests in a day, but have had weeks where I haven't received any emails from them. Have patience, and if nothing else, you can use the "Earn Now" option to start working on your balance.

I've also received my emails in bunches. Not much in the past few weeks -- sadly, I'm trying to hit the $100 mark but I'm seem stuck at around $90. Hopefully something will come up soon. :)

Okay, thanks. I was getting worried since it sounded like (by reading other posts) people have more e-rewards dollars than they can spend. I assumed this meant they were being flooded with emails, but I guess what it really means is that there aren't enough redemption options!!

That's basically it. I only use the Hilton option, and even using my rewards as much as possible, I still normally have a balance of $50-$75.

Just found these posts and was relieved to find I wasn't the only one. Not a new e-rewards user but am stuck at around $88, with no new emails for weeks, when I want to redeem a $100 reward.

I also have received many at one time, but in the past few weeks, I am lucky to have received 2 or 3.

You are not the only one!

My family of 4 had a flood of them about a month ago. Not a single one has come in during the last 2-3 weeks. I don't think we have ever gone this long without one.

Somebody mentioned this also, but I've noticed since the change in the AA awards, I haven't been getting as many emails. I'm shooting for the $50 level so I can cash out.... not worth it to shoot for $100, since the prorated amount is the same.

Thinking about it, I haven't seen one from them in a while either.

Same here with a flood for a couple of weeks for my family of 2. And nothing for the last 2-3 weeks. It sounds like several people haven't been getting any lately. Anyone here getting lots still?

I did notice that I received the monthly account update today.

Great, just when I am shooting for $100 so I can cash out, I get stuck around $84. Is this maybe a scam what with the recent change on redemptions, now they make it impossible to earn more?

I didn't get any for a few days- just got 2 yesterday including one where I passed the screening for an $8 survey.

Another question, though. The $8 will post in a couple of weeks. I seem to have lots of $$ in the pipeline. One of those items just posted a couple of days ago but I think others are late. I never kept track of what should be posted. One insurance quote won't post the $$ to my account for 4-6 weeks. Is e-Rewards pretty reliable about posting these amounts after the promised time?

I guess eRewards reads FT, because I've hit a spat of 4 surveys and 4 eCensii... and I qualified for 3 of the surveys.

I only use my $$$ for hilton. You always have to wait three month before you can redeem the dollars for miles/points (again). During that time frame I make $25 or $50.
Sometimes I get a couple of e-mails a week, recently I have not received any e-mails.

And ... welcome to FlyerTalk!

Not always that reliable in my case anyway. If I'm getting close to redemption point I print the page that says how many $ I should get and the final page that says I completed the full survey. If they don't post (some do, some don't), I email them after 10 business days with the date and survey topic and they usually post the credit that day.

I too have hit a dry spell. Haven't received anything in weeks. I am usually flooded with requests. I am sitting at $99.50 wanting to cash in NWA. Go figure.

Me too, no email from e-rewards for more than a week now

Yes, I agree with keeping track of the surveys you do complete. I waited over 6 weeks for a $12 credit as well as a $5 credit. ER CS would keep telling me to "please wait, it will be credited". What you need minimally is the date of the survey, the topic, research firm conducting survey, amount of time for the survey, ie 20 min, etc. (the above post is being very cautious - but then there is no arguement that he DID complete the survey). Some post immediately, others may/may not!
CS can then place the info into the printout of your history (you can view this as well on the e-rewards website).

For about 3 hours worth of work for 3000 Hilton points or some AA miles, I think it's worth it. Keeps the AA account active for another 3 yrs and Hilton can add 12000 point per year(free night at lower end Hilton).

Dry spell! For sure! $1.60 for the month of September.

Nothing lately, at all.

Has anyone gotten an e-rewards survey in the past 3 weeks? I got several surveys the week after they changed to the new AA award, then nothing since. Looks like e-rewards may be going out of business...

I have gotten virtually nothing lately, and I am sitting within $6 of the 2k AA award.

It's irritating. I'd like to cap that off, claim the reward, and then just blow them off for a while.

Do you think they're not sending surveys thru to people who are close to getting awards? Or just have lost business altogether?

I have not gotten a survey for at least a month.
Going out of business ...? I don't know. Maybe my provider is handling their e-mails as spam!?!

I hadn't received any for several weeks, but just recently received several of the "census" ones that only pay a few cents, but are qualifiers for other surveys.

I rec'd nothing from them for many weeks. Then all of a sudden, last week I rec'd FIVE e-surveys IN ONE DAY! (Maybe they do read FT!) They all were "up to $7", but I did not qualify for any of them.

At least the $1 awards posted before I could click back to the offer page.

My total was stuck at $98.xx for a long time, but with the furry of activity, I finally got to $100. I had to wait for my "90-day" HH period. I just redeemed for the HHonors award, and am back above $55. Now I just have to wait until January!

Minutes after I posted the above, I got a "qualifier" survey worth a few cents. These things do tend to come in groups. It's feast or famine with e-rewards... :rolleyes:

I just got my slew of 3 emails yesterday. I only need about $16 more for 2000 miles :(

I haven't qualified for any of their surveys... any idea how quickly these survey spots fill up?

It helps to qualify if you're the head of IT for a multi-national company with 10,000+ employees! :rolleyes:

hehe, yeah I tried being that too, but apparantly there are too many CEO's trying to get E-rewards :D

Last night I received a $2 offer, all you have to do is sign up for a Blockbuster newsletter and the $ posted instantly. It's been very slow for me as well lately; I used to get 2-3 a day now it's, at the most, 1/week. I'm at $97.75 and counting down the cents to $100. I wonder if those companys for whom they do surveys have pulled their business--perhaps the data received wasn't reliable!

I was in similar situation, just a few dollars under $100 -- waiting so that I could cash in for $100 certificate. I was in this holding pattern for over a month with no e-reward emails at all. Previously, I had been receiving sometimes 2-3 a day. I ended up going to e-reward website & I was able to click on some free offer/survey -- finally over $100! But the interesting thing is that now I've "cashed" out & my balance is way down, I'm back to receiving e-reward emails daily again! One would have to believe that there is something in their system that flags high balances and slooowwss down the emails..... :rolleyes:

I just received their $2 blockbuster offer.

Just remember that you can only redeem eRewards for AA miles once/year. So although the redemption ratio is the same at $50 and $100, if you redeem at $50, you can't redeem for another AA reward for 12 months.

Why would you say they're going out of business? Do you have any evidence other than you personally haven't received any offers lately? During the past two weeks, I've received at least four surveys in the $7 - $10 range, at least 8 or 10 of those "mini surveys" (or whatever they're called) for 25 - 50 cents, and a handful or $2 or $3 surveys. I've gone from $23 in my account three weeks ago to $60 today. I don't call that going out of business.

Thanks for the heads up ^

But yes, I did know that fact. I posted that back a few weeks ago... I had cashed out for the 1000 miles for a flight, the day before the change... and I thought it would take forever to get to $100 after that. But now I'm at $80-something... and as soon as I hit $100, THEN I'll cash out with 2000 and be done with e-rewards. :td:

They really should institute the two-tiered awards (non-flying bonus AND bonus miles for flights).

Got two surveys a day apart this week, and after taking them, redeemed my e-Rewards for some HHonors points. After a very slow past six months, the emails are coming a bit more frequently, so things are looking up. The automatic redemption feature put the HHonors points into my account immediately.

bj-21.

How did you set up the automatic redemption ??

Just went to the rewards page, clicked on the HHonors reward, entered my HHonors number and pin, and within five minutes the HHonors points were in my account, along with a confirming email from eRewards. That's about as "automatic" as it can get. No waiting, no forms or certs to mail in. Almost instantaneous. :)

It's been slow lately but once you get your demographics in (by using Earn More links) it will come as feast or famine.

As it is, I only do the AA miles AND HHonors points and by the time the every-90-day limit comes up, I have more money than I need.

Just give it time, you'll make "money" faster than you can spend it.

Well, I am still enjoying my Blockbuster coupons - just watched a new release last night. Saved myself $4.29, can bring a movie back in 2 weeks and even was able to use an expired Blockbuster coupon at a local store with no questions asked! :D

I echo this statement--exactly what has happed to me.

I think that it's actually one redemption per calendar year rather than a rolling year. So, if you had $200 in your account on 12/31, you could redeem $100 for AA miles on 12/31 and another $100 on 1/1.

Wow... it's now been a two week drought on erewards :mad:

me too.

me three. I thought it was just me, but I guess it's heartening to see other's are experiencing this. Hopefully they'll start sending more very soon.

Same here! Just a couple of worthless offers, no surveys. But I'm sure it will pick back up.

After redeeming the Blockbuster reward and the Hilton reward, I've been getting a survey several times a week, so I'm back up to almost $40, when I had been stuck at $79, prior to redeeming.

I've been stuck on $97.5 for almost 3 weeks. The only email I received in that time was a $2 for signing up for Blockbuster email - I completed that offer and received confirmation that the $2 will post but it has not posted to my account. To make things worse my points are expiring on Nov 1. I am hoping that the $2 Blockbuster posts and I get an additional email to put me over $100 so that I can redeem for 2000 AA miles.

I've been getting both quick and long surveys all the time. In fact, this morning I got 2 quick ones and a long one about travel decisions for 15-20 minutes. However, I haven't qualified for any of the long, $$-worth, surveys. :(

If it looks like you won't, send an email, asking for an extension to your expiration date, so you can redeem them. Either that, or ask for a $0.50 credit so you can redeem.

I joined several wks ago and have received very few emails from them. Got a couple of surveys and the next day I receive one that would have been profitable but when I began it I was notified that I was too late! (Early morning!) Anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Thanks

You do have to take the surveys quickly. Update your profile.

i actually must have checked my mail at the right time and completed my first survey, and for $10 in credit..woohoo!!! up to almost $30 in erewards cash now.

i do find that if you dont happen to reply to the survey pretty fast that you may end up not being able to do it or the number of people have already participated in the survey, but still get the $1 offer they give you for not qualifying. its almost the luck as to how and when you check mail.

I have gotten very little lately still, and am stuck at $97 and some change.

Go to the "Earn Now" section...there are several $5 offers that will get you over the $100 mark.

How long do they take to post? Thanks.

Good tip. I did the Xerox one for $3, it posted immediately, I redeemed for 2k AA miles. Now I have a balance of 5 cents, and it is off my mind unless I get some good new surveys or whatever.

How long do they take to post? Thanks.
Usually immediately.

Same here. I have $99.20, and have not received anything in the past two-three weeks. I have already used most of the easy Earn Now redemptions, so it is hard to get that last little bit. Once I get the $100 mark, I will cash in for 2000 AA miles, and only check the website occasionally to see if anything new has been added.

Odds are as soon as you redeem, you'll start getting a ton of surveys from them. I redeemed at the beginning of the month, which dropped me to like $6 or some such, and I'm already back up to $44 or $46 or something, from the surveys in the past week.

Wow... it's now been a two week drought on erewards :mad:


Wow, I thought it was just me! I guess we are all in the same boat...alas, I am stuck at about $90...guess I'll just redeem for the $50 AA reward.

I've gotten a couple things from e-rewards now in the past week.. but still stuck at $86. Dangit!

Our family members have accounts. We use different computers. None of us has received a single email from e-rewards since the end of September. This has also happened with www.mypoints.com email. Thinking it was some sort of setting or pop up blocker our computer geek consultant set up - I adjusted the "privacy and security" settings in IE's "internet options". I put the cookies setting to receive cookies from anyone - lowering it's selectivity as low as it gets.

I also disabled pop up blockers. This did not help and we have yet to receive any emails. I can't click on any of the offers from the earn now page as I reported way back in this thread. Even the "control, click" command doesn't work.

Some posters here wonder if maybe they were not receiving email because they are close to a redemption level. This seems to have nothing to do with us not receiving the emails (some of us are over a redemption level and others are stuck at $14 or so).

The other weird thing is that if I go into e-rewards account histories it shows that we have been continually given the 5 cents for "received E-mail". In the last 30 days there are 26 of these in my account.

Where are these emails going to???? Not my spam or junk folders - I check those. As much as I hate e-rewards I do love cashing in for HHonors and AAdvantage. I figured I would be glad to be done with e-rewards, instead I am going to all this trouble to try to stay with it. What's wrong with me? :eek:

Any words of wisdom?

My drought seemed to clear recently after redeeming $50 for HHonors points.

Since my last post I discovered that somehow a new tool bar was loaded on to IE called "Viewpoint". This was not something that I wanted and I don't really know how it got installed. It had it's own pop up blocker. We uninstalled Viewpoint and now I can click through on the earn now page.

I was rereading a post where lin821 was trying to help me recover the mypoints emails. S/He suggested that it was a filter put on by my ISP guy (Comm USA). Thanks again, lin821! We have come to the conclusion that that must be the problem. We are going to contact him on Monday. Hopefully this is the problem and I'll be able to receive mail from e-rewards and mypoints soon.

I seem to get them in bunches. Sometimes none for a week and lately I've accumulated about $20 in the last 2 weeks. The suggesiton someone else mentioned of updating my profile seemed to help.

It's been a SLOW trickle, but now I'm up to $99.10. Talk about a tease. :td:

My drought seemed to clear recently after redeeming $50 for HHonors points.

That has been my experience as well.

Finally cashed out my $100... and lo and behold about 7 surveys are sitting in my inbox right now.

This doesn't exactly make my 2000 AA miles any sweeter :p

Just got an erewards survey for office technology for $15. Took about 15 minutes (they estimated 25 minutes), and the points posted immediately. Can't use an HHonors reward again (within the 90 days of prior reward), so I'll wait a bit, and either go for AA or Honors again.

I learned not to wait too long to answer the survey, as to often they have too many respondents, and you've lost your chance. Happened a couple of times the last few weeks, so don't wait if you're going to take the survey.

Think I got the same survey and I did it around 15 Min. also and $15 E-Rewards in biggest single survey I've received in 3+ years. ^ Now, to decide having just crossed over the $50 level whether to convert to HH now or wait to see if I hit $100...

What was funny was after selecting country and English later on in the survey a few pages popped up in French. :D

Is anyone else getting emails or surveys from e-Rewards as of recently?? I have been stuck at $94.65 for about 2 months... :mad:

I've been getting them as normal, in fact reached $50+ about a week before I'm eligible for my next HHonors. (Did a $100 AAdvantage in between as well).

Got several e-mails in the last week. Make sure you don't have a Spam filter preventing you from receiving their e-mails.

It usually seems to me that the more i ignore the emails, the more i get. If i am responding, it seems i get less.

My experience as well (again).
