A $75 eRewards survey!!!
 

Yesterday, I did not qualify for a $30 business technology survey, as I answered honestly, as usual, that my company has less that 500 employees worldwide. So today, they offered me the same survey with a $75 reward. Still did not qualify, same reason. Waiting to see what the reward goes to tomorrow.

I would have strongly considered hiring the extra employees ;) .

E-rewards owes me at least $75 for stress I have endured over the last year.

The only customer service I have found worse than e-rewards is Yodlee.

Careful what you wish for...
 

If you DID get the $75 reward for the survey, then you'd have the problem of figuring out how to spend it... blockbuster+hilton only soaks up so much... :)

Very easy, book flights on AA.com get 2500 AA miles every 90 days 12.5k so far this year and counting.

My personal opinion, which isn't worth much, is that if you aren't in AA, e-rewards is a HORRIBLE idea and COMPLETE waste of time.

The AA rewards are almost $ for $. $50 gets you 2,500 miles.

I have a hard time justifying it for Hilton. $50 gets you 3,000 points??? When you need 30,000 for one night in a category 4 hotel, it seems pointless (pun intended). Hilton points to miles? 10,000 = 1,500 AA miles.

Actually, randix, I just read through another thread and saw that you shared this sentiment... Sorry for the redundancy.

I got this survey today - clicked it as soon as I got it. Started it - after the very first screen it said "Sorry, we got the number of responses needed".

What was the point in sending it out? The total time between receiving the email and getting that message was 10 seconds!

I'm truly annoyed.

I always turn in $50 awards for 2500 AA miles. I actually got 5000 for one flight, as I had turned in 2-$50 awards and they overlapped.

For Hilton points it is better on MyPoints since those are really worthless.

I think both programs are a better use of time than the hundreds of cialis/teenage/lonely housewife/home loan/make money from home/gambling/etc junk mails out there.

Actually, that was very good.

Consider the alternative

They might have only been seeking other groups when this was sent out to you. Keep in mind, it was sent out once before w/o enough responses in the key demographic they were trying to fill.

The bad things is that this survey didn't give the $1 consolation prize that you often get for trying to qualify but failing to do so.

Sam

New math? ;)

Not really :) One reward was claimed in Nov 2003 and posted in Jan o4.

Plus did you know that you can have the miles post from another persons E-rewards account post to your AA account ( like the two that came from my wife's? :D )
By Jan 05 I will have and additional 5k miles.

I got the same results as you, Kamala. What a tease!

That is exactly why it was tossed. I foresaw the possibility of doing 30 mins worth and then being deemed not qualified and getting nada.

Moreover, they explicitly warned that if you don't complete it you get nothing.

You didn't just lie? :D

Same boat here....interesting to see how the $$ amount goes up by the day, 'tho. When I get the "thanks" screen that promises "partial credit" it doesn't say how much that partial credit would be, only that it will post in a matter of days or weeks (depending on the survey).

Oh well, like previous posts, with AA, it's not a bad way to snag miles....almost at $50 again.

I had not responded to the $30 when I saw the $75 one out there last night. I did qualify and finish it. Took about 50 minutes.
