true MYPT has sarted sending out alot of emails that dont earn anyting for simply clicking onto them. But those that do earn 5 pts or 10 pts on teh surveys (just click prefer not to answer if thats a choice and away they go with you and thats 10 pts). so @ 5 pts per, click onto 2000 and its worth 5k in UA miles , Ill take that, just too bad they are RDMs and not EQMs

The erewards program has deteriorated over the past year. I guess a lot of people joined. They used to give you credit fro just opening the survey. No longer. And as mentioned here, too often now, they get most of the information from you and after 10 minutes disqualify you. It is a lot harder these days to accumulate erewards $s.

I agree - it seems more like a big scam than anything of value now. I plan to nukem!

e-rewards remedies a disservice by a survey sponsor
 

After a productive year taking surveys in my spare time, I got disqualified yesterday after completing a very long survey (24+ screens, I believe) providing many details about business and personal banking habits. The disqualification came after a final demographic question (which should have been up front), yet the survey said they had already received the required number of responses.

Feeling this disingenuous at best, and certainly reflecting badly on e-rewards, I e-mailed customer service last night and asked for the full amount of reward currency. Today, e-rewards did the right thing, and I have received full credit.

Receiving the full credit was great, but I am more impressed that I didn't just receive a canned apology.

You can go ahead and sign up, it makes no difference. But note that wsj continues their subs for weeks after the formal expiry date.

can anybody post a link for e-rewards invitation?
 

to programs like HHonors or Wyndam

thanks

I also was remedied by E-Rewards as well ^ but not without going back and forth with emails, apparently, the third party partners are making E-Rewards look really bad. Funny, right after my account was adjusted, I had another dishonest partner (GFK) disqualify a survey only after spending at least 25 minutes on it, not sure this is a battle I want to fight atm, might shoot E-rewards an email or just let this one slip. Any suggestions?

I must be one of the lucky few that has had a good experience with e-Rewards. I signed up in Sept. 2009 and have earned more than 130.00 e-Rewards dollars so far.

Another joker just had a survey - $10 for 25 min. At the very end of the survey I got the message that "this study has already received the number of responses required from your particular survey group". I got the email at 1:30pm and completed the survey by 3:30pm. Seems like another a*hole is trying to get surveys completed for nothing! This time I sent a message to e-rewards. Enough is enough. Let's see what the outcome will be.

The math doesn't add up anymore for er. We usually try and get knocked out right away now as we aren't trying to build up many er$, just enough to have for that occasional DL, US or PC promo at the $25-30 level. Too much time for too little return.

I'd rather get $.50 for a minute and get kicked off than $5 for 15-20 minutes which has become the norm and they are usually under-estimating the times needed to complete.

Ditto. About time we retaliate. They also dropped the gift cards (Macy's, Starbucks etc.).

I agree. After earning $2246.20 since 7/31/2006, I'm also disappointed. Hope this program can turn it around.

I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago. I emailed them with the details and the emailed back asking for the link to the survey. After I sent them that, they gave me the $ without further discussion.

I also found out it happened more recently...

I just got one about SSL Certificates $7 to complete, $1.50 if you don't qualify. So about 10 minutes into it, I get THIS:

Is this some sneaky way to weasel out of even the $1.50 consolation prize?
