But from the screening questions, I am sure there was nothing of a NSFW nature. Here is the first part of the URL that got blocked. Note that the letters "s e x" are part of the domain name. I am sure that that is why the blocking occurred.

URL: https://surveys.qsext.com/Projects/...

I've never had that happen with e-Rewards, but I have with a different survey site. When it's happened it's been blocked by my ISP, not by any "parental controls" on my browser (which I don't have on, anyway). I don't think my ISP would block something based on the URL, but I'm certainly going to look next time! Also, they don't block anything on the basis that it's porn, but that there are phishing attempts and whatnot involved...

Interestingly, since I started using the app, the emails with surveys have stopped completely... Not sure if it is meant to be this way, or just a coincidence...
I found out I prefer the email surveys, as using the app results in obsessively trying to find more surveys whenever I have some spare time, which is not good...

I still get emails. I also use the app, but some of the surveys just don't show up correctly, or the print is too small, to make it convenient to use.

I use my iPad for the mobile surveys when possible, and that generally works better than using my phone does for reasons mentioned above.

It seems like, for me at least, E-Rewards is going back to it's old habits.

I just received a survey about entertainment. It asked about # of trips we take each year, where you would like to go etc - then asked all the normal demographic questions.

Then it drilled down to specific beach locations in Texas, what you like about them, how many times you have visited and on and on - which has the best this and that.

All the while the completion indicator at the bottom is moving - and after a lot of questions it finally hits 100% then tells me they have enough people in my demographic group and shuts me down.....

I sent a message to E-Rewards but if it's like the last 3 I sent them all it will do is take up room in my hold folder.

I got something similar about employment and the type of work I do, HR policies, etc.

When I answered a bunch of questions, and I mean like 10 minutes worth, it gave me the message that they've filled up for my demographic.

Very, very irritating. It's obvious the survey designers didn't want to pay out and got the information they needed anyway :(

Write to e-Rewards Customer Service. This has happened to me a few times and they've generally credited the originally promised $ amount anyway.

This has really become an issue for me lately and I've stopped responding to the longer surveys because of it - I find they're more likely to disqualify me after I've already answered a lot of questions.

This used to work but the last couple of times I contacted them, I got no response and no credit. :td:

I recently received a survey from them about my thoughts on the e-Rewards program and I expressed my dissatisfaction with the poor customer service and increased number of surveys that ask for a substantial amount of information before disqualifying. Expecting someone to spend ten minutes on a survey and then paying .25 is not acceptable.

If you haven't tried lately, I would suggest you try one more time. My only experience with this was relatively recent and I was successful in getting the full amount credited to my account.

For quite awhile I'd get no responses, then a few months ago they were very quick in responding and crediting. Now I have three pending for the last month and no responses other than the auto-response.

Does anyone know if reward redemptions are limited to once every "x" days? Are some 30 and others more? I looked at IHG terms and don't see any verbiage re redemption caps at all. Am I missing it?

Mary2e Jul 6, 2015 8:31 am

some are, some are not. It would be in the terms.

For example, if you check Hertz, you're limited to one redemption a calendar quarter.

beachmouse Jul 6, 2015 11:16 am

IHG seems to be pretty unlimited. I've cashed in 3 x $100 in January the past few years for that without a problem.

neuromancer Jul 10, 2015 4:14 pm

IHG and Accor are unlimited. Hertz is once per quarter. Most of the others are once per 30 days.
