As always I kept the original email to fight with E-rewards.
I took the follow-on group survey that lasted around one hour. Two days later E-rewards posted a $69 reward to my account. I think the most I've ever had previously was $17... So I'm assuming this is from that long survey - although I was expecting $25.
Have any of you had a similar experience? I check every day to see if it's still there :-)
It's because even e-rewards doesn't pretend $1 in e-rewards currency is worth $1 US. When they say that $25 worth of e-rewards, they'll multiply it by what they evaluate is the difference - I think it's about 2.8, and that seems consistent with your multiple.
I've wondered why they don't just say, for example, they'll give you $69 in e-rewards currency. I suspect the answer is the actual client companies are recruiting through different panels, so they figure out how much they're going to pay in real dollars, and then it's up to each panel to pay out what it equates to.
Anyway, that last part is my speculation, but the first part I know as I've had it happen several times.
