I am speechless. Just speechless. This morning I received an e-rewards invitation that read:
Topic: Study about Miscellaneous
Full credit amount: $1.50 in e-Rewards Currency when you fully qualify and complete the research survey
Partial credit amount: $0.25 in e-Rewards Currency if you do not fully qualify for the study OR if the predetermined number of participants has been reached
Survey Length: approximately 25 minutes
Are they kidding me? 25 minutes for $1.50????

Agreed, there's no way I would spend 25 minutes for $1.50. Best thing is for no one to do survies with that kind of time/$ ratio, so that e-rewards will take the hint. bb

The companies are paying a lot for those surveys and want the most accurate data possible and if someone is answering control questions wrong, they should be disqualified.

Thanks to walkdmx for raising the issue of 'opinion theft'
"it is considered opinion theft by the ethics associations which these surveyors must belong to. Complaints are vigorously pursuued at the top levels of the companies, and I have had recognition withdrawn for several companies from various associations which then list them as Unethical. So you do have very good options to pursue those who steal from you."
I just completed a survey through E-rewards that linked to (intellisurvey link removed by moderator) that required 35 minutes of my time with a reward of $8.25 in E-reward currency. After completing the entire survey, I received a screen message stating:
"Thank you for your interest in this study. Unfortunately, this study has received the number of responses required from your particular survey group. Your e-Rewards account has been credited the partial credit amount."
I reported it to E-rewards and we'll see what happens.

OMG, this just happened to me, and I'm so angry I want to explode. I received a $47 survey today for 15 minutes (largest $ amount I've ever recevied). After I completed the survey, it said I was done, and that I should hit the "submit" button to get credit. Except that when I did so, it said that they'd already received the number of response from people like me, so I didn't get credit.
And for the record, I read every question carefully and answered them honestly (and there were no control questions). Man, I am steaming.
I contacted e-rewards to let them know what happened, and asked for a $47 credit. We shall see. tls

For now, I'm ignoring the survey requests with that statement.

I got this on an account that I don;t use much and surprisingly qualified and went through the end and saw $47 credit. I logged in to actually redeem for hertz points and earned them back in less than 1 hr. Sweet deal

Aside from the initial email acknowledging my inquiry and assigning a tracking # to it and saying that normally they get back within 5 business days, I haven't heard anything from e-rewards. I've sent a follow up email. I know that others in this thread have reported success in getting missing credit after inquring, but this is not a promising start. Still hoping. tls

Did anybody do the survey about Auto Insurance for $8.75 circa July 18--19? I did but got no credit. When I reported it, e-r asked me for the 6-digit survey code number! So if you look up all your credits on your account, it will be there on your online statement. Then please post it (or PM me) so I can continue with my claim.
