Not a bad thought- if they can't get any new info they may stop doing it!
I waited to post this because I had ALMOST $100 in my account but now that I got it to $101 and redeemed $100 for AA miles I won't worry about putting a jinx on myself by posting this.
I'm racking up enough e-Reward points to get $100/month so. I alternate between Hilton points and AA miles, both of which I can use. I also hit up Starbucks for a $50 gift card ($145 in e-Rewards funny money) every 6 months if I can. Like everyone else here, I get my fair share of surveys that steal a lot of opinions/information before kicking you out. I've also cheerfully and honestly disqualified myself from surveys looking for people with specific health conditions, who are planning on buying a current model year car, who are passionate about beauty products, who smoke, etc.
I'm not sure why I'm not seeing the fall-off in decent surveys that many are. Maybe it's because I'm retired, so I have the time to complete a decent number of surveys. As noted earlier, I also go back and click on old e-mails and get directed to surveys even when the "Find a Survey" button is greyed out. Finally, I typically qualify for two types that seem to be very popular: financial services and social/political issues (for the latter they ask questions which indicate extent of community involvement and about whether you voted recently).
So, it's still not a bad deal for some of us "special snowflakes". I'll enjoy it while I can.
