Mine as well!

Has anyone gone months without a survey? Profile is complete, diamond level, have the app. Nothing since September.

You have been suspended. Send them a message and ask to be reinstated.

Haha. Never crossed my mind. Just sent a message. Thank you.

Question to the forum -

We went on a long international trip between late Oct and early Dec. The survey invitation emails stopped coming after we hadn't not done any survey for 2+ weeks.

Now we are home and finally have some free time to do the surveys (we used to do them at a binge between 2 weeks hiatus).

On Friday 12/09 my husband was able to do a few survey even though most of them were the 0.25 variety, then suddenly he could no longer click thru the survey.

Today when I was in my account, every survey I clicked return as "This opportunity has expired." Then husband tried his account, he received the same result - "This opportunity has expired." even after finishing the qualifying screening and a survey loaded.

At the end I sent them a message but did not get the usual robot reply of message received.

FWIW our last survey batches were first half of October. Redemption were 6 months ago in June this year.

Anybody has experienced the same thing recently?

I don't think this is unusual. I sometimes go away for two weeks and stop doing surveys. When I get home, I resume surveys and I get a lot of expired surveys - and I actually get 25 cents for each one. But eventually the surveys return to normal - usually within a day or two.

TMetanova, did you get back in?

As a matter of fact, I did! Double thank you.

When I tried again on desktop, t remained on the expired opportunity group and there was no $0.25 like yours.

However when using iPad the surveys behaved normally, I.e. a slew of $0.25 and a few successful ones. Though there is still no invitation email.

I guess it is the holidays ... but I am getting very few surveys this week ... like just 3 or 4 per day other than the 25 cent ones.

I haven't noticed any significant dropoff in the number of surveys, but it does seem that most are the lower-value surveys, around $2-$5. Don't recall seeing anything in the $10+ range in the past week or so, or at least none that actually allowed me to attempt to answer the questions.

Anyone know whats going on with E-rewards lately? The amount of time spent, and the rates look like they dropped. They are also not offering the .25 as much right now. Some surveys give you 0 if you don't qualify.

Yeah, I got the devaluation too. The $4 for 15 minutes ones are now $3.40 for 15 minutes, $2.50 for 10 minutes is down to $2.00, etc.

At least they haven’t increased what’s required for redemption yet.

i don't think they are offering .25 either anymore.

I have earned $0.25 twelve times in the last three days.

I'm still getting the 25 cents - but the rewards seem to have slimmed down and I get a lot of $1 surveys that seem to take forever. Anything more than $1 I figure I'll be kicked out after a few pages...

I got one .25 yesterday and one today. Everything else there was no reward if I didn't complete the survey. I know at least one other person with the same experience. And yes, I'm definitely seeing slimmed-down survey rewards. The new "$3.40" reward is crazy. Down from what? $4.00? I guess that's a big deal if they're shaving pennies here and there across all the large number of people who participate. That probably adds up to a real cost saving for Dynata/e-rewards and/or their clients.

I agree with all the recent comments. Definitely less earnings these days.

Currently all of my available surveys show 0.20 if I don’t qualify.

All of yesterday's surveys were 0 for not qualifying. Two days ago I racked up several dollars on 25-cent nonqualifiers.

Based on you guys commenting above, I just noticed that my surveys now say "$0in e-Rewards Currency if you do not qualify for the study." What a rip!

I just got 20 cents for two surveys I was disqualified for - and the email says 20 cents now instead of 25....

After two days with no credits for not qualifying the $0.25 came back for me today. Seems like they corrected a mistake.

I've noticed the devaluation, but also the qualification questions are taking a lot longer.
Today, I have $2 for 14 minutes, along with $11.80 for 15 minutes. Luckily I cashed out on my rewards, this is mostly a a back up to accumulate airlines miles.

Earlier today, I was getting ZERO cents for unqualified surveys. Now I am getting TWENTY cents.

same here, exactly.

Are they limiting the number of 20 cents for disqualified surveys per day? If they still give zero cents for disqualified surveys, then zero cents should not be considered a "partial incentive."

Looks like you are right. I get a few at 20c then zero.

Me too...got the 20 cent junk, and then they cut even that off after 5 failures to qualify.

Everything in the miles game always runs downhill.

Today from e-rewards:

Lunar New Year celebrations are set to kick off this Sunday.
So, what better way to HOP into the Year of the Rabbit than with a $10 bonus!

What do you need to do? Just complete 3 surveys by January 31.* It’s that simple.

I activated the offer shortly after receiving this email, completed one survey, and was awarded the $10 bonus. Thank you!

I clicked on the link in my email for the first survey, then completed two more, and so far all I have are rocks in my account, not the $10 bonus. The email says the bonus will hit the account upon completion of the third survey....I'll give them a day before sending them a request for the points.
EDITED TO ADD: After completing a few more surveys, beyond the required three, the $10 bonus posted as "Punchcard."

Yeah, it looks like that to me as well. The new dollar bonuses are great but the reduction of pity points to 20 cents as well as a limit on how many times you can get pity points over 24 hours takes away from the program. I'm also wary now of agreeing to an extension of the survey, supposedly for more points. On one I got kicked out during the extended section and got pity points. Yesterday I completed one with extensive questions about my health (it wanted total cholesterol, then the 3 components separately, which I had). The extension asked f I was willing to share my name and other identifying information. I selected the option to continue the survey but without supplying my name, etc. since I figured they'd ask about side effects of the statins I took once (they'd asked which ones I recognized/had taken) and they're required to report those to the FDA. Kicked out with pity points.:mad:

My quick calculation of the value of the points is about 1/3 cents each- so they're really nickel-and-diming us to chisel off 5 cents in Funny Money.

Three days ago the $0.25 returned for me, the next day it was fifty-fifty and now again all surveys giving zeo credit.:confused:
I am still hoping for an IT bug they might fix again.

Dayum. The $5.00 surveys are gone. The longer ones are $3.50 now. If I thought they were charging survey sponsors proportionately less for completed surveys I might be OK with that- but I doubt that's happened.

I'm a retired actuary and if I think of the expected value of a survey it would be

(Probability of completing survey) X Survey reward + (Probability of getting kicked out) X value of pity points.

So... Probability of completing survey seems to be decreasing. Value of completed surveys and pity points are decreasing. I find only the Hilton points to be genuinely valuable , with AA miles a possible second, so won't be working too hard to rack up more $$, especially since both of those have limits on the frequency of redemptions.

This morning...

This morning I had surveys for $10, $6, $5, and $2.50. fwiw.

Well, I hope I see a few more of the higher-value ones. Every day I get an e-mail telling me there are NEW surveys! Today I had ONE for $3.50. At least I completed it and got credit for it. No more on my dashboard.

And I'm done with the recurring ones (every couple of months or so) that lead you through a long list of brands or companies and ask if you recognize any. There are a couple of them that then lead you through a long list of questions for every brand/company you recognized. You almost feel punished for listing a lot of them. I just close out the survey.

Yes, I could just check off a few but I really do try to hold up my end of the bargain and be honest.

Weekends are generally when the survey router is pretty empty.

As annoying as the devaluation is, I’ll keep grinding away for the unlimited IHG and Accor points and a chance to add to my Alaska balance.

I have not yet received my 1099 tax statement yet. Has anyone received theirs yet? (I know the deadline for mailing is 31Jan).
