Be aware that describing the subject matter of the survey (including the product, etc.) violates the survey agreement and in principle could cause you problems with e-Rewards and/or the company who sponsored the survey (as the contents of the survey are considered trade secrets). I suggest you edit the product details out of your post.

Be aware that NOT CREDITING a members account after they've completed a survey violates the T&C of eRewards!
You think I care about revealing the subject matter when they tried to rip me off in the first place?
They can sue me!

I redeemed $50 eRewards for 3,000 HH points last month. It didn't cost me a dime. I can't believe I keep getting away with this scam!

I just exchanged $100 e-rewards for 2000 nwa miles and it posted within 48 hours in my nwa account. I love this "scam". I have done it 2 years in a row!

In two years I've redeemed 24,000 HHonors points; 4,000 US Air miles; 12 free Blockbuster movies; and 2 orders from FTD.com with a $25.00 discount.
Hope this "scam" lasts.

It provided a nice start to my 2007 Holiday Savings Reward balance.
I just wish this reward was redeemable more than once per year......as even twice would be really nice.
With my 2006 e-Rewards earnings, I redeemed a 2K Delta Skymiles reward, a 3000 HHonors reward and the 2 Borders Rewards rewards (once in late 2006 and once again in Jan for 2007)......in addition to a couple of magazine subscriptions (to use up the remainder before the expiration date).
FWIW, so far this year, I've already earned over $30 e-Rewards.....but intend to wait before redeeming anything in order to earn more.... so that I can redeem another 2K Delta Skymiles reward.

No complaints here. I have redeemed several rewards in the past two years and all posted quickly.
First post, so I'm anxious to see how it looks.

for the first time my AA miles cash in is taking a long time. Nearly 2 weeks. This is neither as much fun or as useful as it used to be.

Thanks For The Good Advice
I was invited to join e-rewards towards the end of last year. I do appreciate the posts from everyone as now I have an even greater understanding of what to expect.
I will definitely try to keep up with the number of dollars that I actually receive for the surveys that I fill out. I often have suspected that I was being cheated out of some reward dollars, but I had given e-rewards the benefit of the doubt. Now, I know better. They do make it somewhat confusing to keep track of the reward dollars that you earn because some of them will appear right away, and some won't appear for 7 - 10 days. I mean, how am I supposed to know if the $4.00 that is credited is for the survey I completed 10 minutes ago or 10 days ago?
Something tells me that this is by design.

By keeping track of your completed surveys and looking at "Review Your Account Balance" regularly. They itemize exactly what was credited and the date at which it credited, so you can reconcile your records of what you should have received with their records of what you actually received. This is what I do for ALL of my survey panel memberships, not just e-rewards; it's really not much more work.

I just checked my records, and there was 3 surveys that I completed that I received absolutely no credit for. There was one that I received $1, when I should have received $3.
Unfortunately, I just joined in November and there were already 4 mistakes (that I caught). I did send a message to member services to have the mistakes corrected. I'll keep FT posted on how what the response is, and how quickly I receive one.
