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.
