E-rewards: First tons, then nones
When I first joined e-rewards I was getting tons of IT related surveys. Got around $225 in e-rewards $. Along the way, there was a 1-2 time period where I got nothing, but then things returned to there more than 1 a day rate. However, for the last few weeks I've gotten nothing. Is it just cyclical, or is it possible that some of my answers to the IT surveys might have been ... um ... unrealistic, and so they cut me off from IT surveys? tls

When this happened to me, I went in and changed a few preferences and the emails started up again. Nothing major, just some minor changes.

Same "many"/"none" waves here. When they do come, I'll get this bunch of ones that are those long surveys....and by the time I get to the last one or two, I get the "its too late" message. Oh well. almost at a round of 100 points, so just waiting to "spend" mine at this point and re-evaluate if it's worth it.

They do seem to come in spurts. I'm currently receiving 4-5 per week, some are paing $5-7 others only pennies. I'm hoping to reach $100 reward before my luck pans out.
Be patient the e-mails will come.

I've gotten 2 in the last 2 weeks and they arrived on the same day. I'm going to tweak my profile and see what happens. I also have a boatload of credits in the pipeline that haven't shown up yet- after getting one insurance quote they said it would take 4 to 6 weeks for the $$ to post. While I can understand their need to validate the answers, it shouldn't take that long.

When I initially signed up a year or so ago, I received very little email. Three or four months ago, the emails began flooding in. It's tapered off some recently, but I still receive several each week, and sometimes two or three a day.

If anyone has some Erewards $ they aren't going to use, please let me know. I'd really like another Blockbuster award, but have already done mine for the year. I have many things I can trade, including drink certs, coupons for restaurants, etc.
PM me if interested.
