Is e-rewards checking up on us?

Very strange... I just qualified and took a survey on booze.

The very next email had an e-census from e-rewards: Have you taken a survey on alcoholic beverages in the past 3 months?

Hmm... are they trying to catch our trickery? I, of course answered "yes"... I should've answered "no" and see what would've happened lol

I got the e-census but I don't think I had ever received an alcohol-related survey prior to that. So I'd guess no, it was just a coincidence for you.

I don't think they are checking. I think is is a standard survey question.

In some of the surveys I have received, a question asks something like "Have you taken a survey/completed market research in the past 3 months about booze/restaurants/TV shows/etc..." - I have always answered "NO" (even if I had ). There has never been a problem.

All these surveys may or may not have been e-rewards. (I forget - some may have been HI Points or some thing else.) But I have always received credit!

I don't know about checking, but I know the number of offers I have received has been NONE lately. My balance is $98.27, counting money received for one of those ad emails that goes to everyone. I was counting on cashing in $100 on Jan 1 for AA miles.

I was sitting on $91 as well until I received 7 emails on Thu and Fri that got me over $100. Couple of long/expensive offers were a follow-up to brief e-census surveys. Keep your hopes up - there are still 19 days until end of the year.
