I agree; so far this year I've redeemed E-rewards points for Hilton (twice), Southwest Airlines and Starbucks. All posted within a day or two. Having learned to go to the E-Rewards site and look for surveys instead of just waiting for e-mails, I'm easily getting through a survey every day (not just the 25 cent "thanks-for-playing" credit) and the money for the survey responses typically posts in a couple of days.
