I was also paying closer attention because I felt like this happened a few days ago, but passively doing surveys while watching TV I couldn't be too sure, but now it seems confirmed. :mad:

Not worth it to constantly take screen shots and follow up on EVERY survey... :(

I have noticed in the app sometimes when I fail out of a survey, the new option that loads will show the previous reward "$5"! Even if it is really only a .25 survey, so in my experience I guess I am receiving the intended credit, it just isn't showing the proper reward on the initial screen. That's how I understand it, anyways

Not sure if others notice the same thing, but for me the first survey after finding a new one will show the same reward as the original link, but in reality has a different incentive value.

In the situation above where the stated value was 7, in my case, that meant the original emailed link was 7 too

Not worth it to take screen shot of every survey and to chase the posting.

My policy from now on is do NOT click on the next survey once being disqualified the first one.

Instead, return to the email and use the link there - it then would bring up the next survey available! I tried this after the failing of posting of the $7 and saw the email brought up the next survey being $7!

Somehow the cookies seem to migrate and therefore attaching the previous offer to the next offer. dont know how to combat this other than NOT go thru the next survey and start all over.

I received an offer of $2.00 for a 40 minute survey today. Gotta be the worst ratio of $/time I've ever received. Did not click on that one .... tls

I tried to clear the cache of my browser but that did not help either. Has anyone been successful getting these to work with some kind of tweak?

I used e-rewards for years. I signed up for it in the US and most of the time I did the surveys from the US. Last year I was outside of the country so I was using a VPN service to access the surveys. That was working okay throughout the time I was away. I was then back in the US late last year until just a couple of weeks ago and everything worked fine.

It will be interesting when I am in the UK and Canada later this year to see if using the VPN of the corporation I work for does the trick. Only employees of the company have the ability to use that VPN, so it is probably not on the radar of e-Rewards.

Not had any invites for a couple of weeks. Frustrating!

I've 30 old emails stored away for this eventuality. Alas, no hidden surveys could be found.
