I was fortunate enough to complete this survey and get full credit. I did have few glitches along the way but hitting "refresh" button in the browser worked that time.

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?
Sorry, but the system has encountered an internal error and cannot go on with the interview at this stage.
Please check back later.

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.
Good Day,
Thank you for contacting e-Rewards. We appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the survey. We have ensured that your account was credited for your full participation. We will certainly forward your email onto the project manager so they can be aware of the issue.
We appreciate your interest in e-Rewards.
Sincerely,
****
Member Services
I got $10 posted to my account.

Can you redeem 6,000 E-Rewards points for 1500 BA Miles?
I'm almost at 6,000 points for BA Miles redemption, but I noticed that the site only shows redemption for 2k, 4k, and 8k. Can you redeem 6,000 E-Rewards points for 1500 BA Miles? or do you have to wait till the next quarter to redeem the remaining 2,000? or wait till you get 8,000 points? I would rather not wait till 8,000 points because of the rolling expiration of points by E-Rewards.

I believe dreamwks is referring to the UK version of e-rewards.

It appears UK e-Rewards is using point system, not the regular dollar incentive. But according to e-Rewards UK Reward Centre, BA isn't listed as a sponsor/partner. They do have bmi though. dreamwks, I assume you are referring to the UK site (from your profile)? If so, do you mean bmi miles?
For future reference, if you specify what e-Rewards country/site you use, the U.S.-based FTers won't get as confused. You know the majority of FTers in this e-Rewards gig are members of their US program and only familiar with dollars system.
As a general rule of thumb, you can only redeem e-Rewards incentive by the levels the site offers. Since there's no 6K-point level, you cannot do partial redemption. Just like the US program, there are only 3 levels ($25, $50 & $100) for miles. One can't do one $75 redemption. However, it's possible to get two rewards ($25+$50), if no rule is broken, timeframe-wise.

You can redeem 4000 now and 2000 next month. The points will expire May 1st, not April 1st

I guess different e-rewards accounts might have different programs to exchange into. My wife has HH on her rewards page and I do not.

Without having read through this entire thread, is there any concensus about how or what causes erewards to just suddenly stop sending any survey offers altogether? That happened to me back in 2007, so I refreshed some of my profile thinking that might start generating email offers again. Nothing ever happened, total silence. I was a member for at least 3-5 years at the time they went silent. Would it be worth rejoining under a new ID? Has anyone else had something like this happen and rejoined and got going with them again that way?
