:D

Actually, posting on FlyerTalk is a handy way to avoid doing all those things one SHOULD be doing.... ;)

A comment made quite frequently by MR. Sophie!:D

oh - and I have gotten three opportunities to participate in e-miles over the past few days - but none for e-rewards......
I agree with CTACSRET - it is an easy way for me to keep banked miles active -especially as the minimal surveys are pretty mindless and can be done as a multi-task to anything.

and cepheid - I'm not sure that I would survive a re-hash of this thread - you know what I mean?

I received a survey today, and it took FAR less time to not qualify!

Q1: Are you male or female?

A: Male

E-Rewards: Sorry you do not qualify! :eek:

And the kicker - Partial credit is $0.25! :eek::eek: Is this new? :confused: The lowest I've seen before was $0.50!

I've only gotten one survey in the new year and that was in the first half of Jan. Are they still alive and kicking?

They are quite alive and quite kicking. I've received about 2-3 surveys a week since January (and before that).

I just received an erewards survey re shopping, $9.00 for approx 25 min survey, aimed at how much shopping I do at Macys. I answered quite a few ?'s and THEN......"sorry, due to the overwhelming response this survey is no longer available". Kicker....50 cents
Alll in all, I like erewards, seems like there's a dry spell then I receive multiple offers a day for several weeks then it dries up again. They have provided me with many redemptions at the $100 level for miles, HHonors points.

I haven't gotten a single one in over two months now. Before that my inbox used to be filled w/ their survey offers. I wonder if this has anything to do w/ me cashing out for AAdvantage miles?

I did a survey about a week ago and at the end of the survey it said that I would receive credit in 7 -10 days. Does that sound right? Why would I not receive credit right away? I am new to e-rewards so sorry if this is a dumb question. The surveys are coming in very slow. Doesn't look like I am going to be able to use E-rewards as one of my unique partners for the Delta promotion that is going on since I have to reach the $25 mark before I can cash in.

The surveys always say that. 95% of the time, they will credit immediately. Go to your Account History and you should be able to see whether it credited immediately or not... click the little + next to the relevant survey to see the individual line items. Another hint that the survey credited immediately is if you no longer see the survey invitation on the main page.

For those times when the survey does not credit immediately, keep an eye on it... if it doesn't credit within 10 business days, give it a few more days and then email their customer service with all of the relevant details (including the invitation link from your original email). They should give you full credit within a day or three of that email.

I strongly disagree. I am a Black Female in the IT industry. I am constantly getting surveys from e-rewards. I have been on e-rewards for over 3 years and redeemed hundreds of dollars in rewards. I am not sure what your friends' demographics may be but I get at least 2 surveys per week from them.

Welcome to FT, bluemondayz! I hope you enjoy your stay here. :)

I, too, receive a substantial number of surveys, and am a non-rich student (quite the opposite end from a rich businessman). As I said earlier in the thread, any conclusions about statistical demographics (or whether the company is racist/elitist :rolleyes:) drawn from a mere handful of examples will be entirely spurious and statistically meaningless.

Doubtful, try updating your profile. Every time I go a few weeks without any offers I do this and usually get surveys.

back in the day....
 

I first joined e-Rewards back in 2001. I used to get TONS of surveys. I was cashing out between $300 and $400 per year. That died a couple of yrs ago.

This is what it looks like these days:
Member Since: Oct 5, 2001
Membership Year Ends: Jun 30, 2008
Available to Redeem: $4.53
Subject to Expiration Rules: $4.53
Expiring on Aug 1, 2008: $3.40

Glad it works for you. But that strategy would only work if your profile happened to fit the target group for the surveys. Statistically speaking, correlations don't equate to causation. @:-)

You may update your profile 10 or 20 times a day. However, if the profile fails to suit the purpose of any surveys available, it will trigger nothing in return. Just my 2cents. :)

It would seem to me that the larger the base of customers, the fewer surveys each customer would get.....unless the number of surveys and/or sponsors is increasing at the same rate as the customer base....which is almost impossible.

Most sponsors want a total of X surveys with X number coming from demographic group A, B, C, whatever.

The sponsor list has not changed that dramatically since day one - but I bet the membership list has increased 10 fold. AND once a company has YOUR responses, chances are you are "weeded out" of further surveys.

AND - for those of you who think e-rewards is elitist - my demographics would match up with ummm, "elitist" to a certain degree - and they won't even take me as a member! I have requested an INVITE twice within the last month via an invitation that was sent to me...and was turned down each time. (great idea - ask people to join and then decline them :D - what's up with that??????)

Mr. Sophie IS a member - and gets perhaps 6 surveys per month.
