Can anyone who has gotten the survey answer?
Could you or someone please take a look at pushback's question? Thanks!

That would be me!

However, pushback reported in this post that his wife received the survey and after answering the first question as "female" she did not qualify.

I entered Four Seasons as my first choice and Ritz Carlton as my second choice. YMMV

The point is, the list of "correct" responses posted is probably way too simplistic. The pattern is probably more complex, and/or contains some "random" elements.

Thanks. There is actually more to your travel profile. If you click on that erewards page, the settings also include:
  • How many nights in the past 12 months did you stay in a hotel?
  • In which hotel chain do you most frequently stay?
  • How many times in the past 12 months did you rent a car for:
  • Which car rental company do you use most often?

This shows how much you should trust what the "survey says."

e-rewards seems to keep track of this, sort of. If you check your account, they give extra rewards when you complete a survey that reinforces your profile. I assume that means they notice when you're survey answers are not consistent with your profile answers (household income, age, number of flights, profession, ...)

A friend just got the survey today. The first question asks your gender... he selected male and the survey was IMMEDIATELY ended.

So... I wonder if they reached their male quota? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

As I posted earlier, my wife's ended when she selected female. Are there any other sexes we're missing? Maybe they only want males on Monday, females on Friday?

That would surprise me. I have noticed that, in most cases, e-rewards seems to just be a front end for some other survey site. Each site has its own format. Unless they manuallu spot checked I don't see how they could automate correlation. I assume that the way it works is a client approached e-rewards (or vice-versa) and in setting up "the deal" the client specifies what demographic they want to survey. E-rewards then "randomly" selects X number of respondents that match the client's requested criteria, the e-rewards sends out the invitations--but a 1 for 1 correlation of survey results to profile questions would surprise me.
