That is, alas, part and parcel of being an E-Rewards member. I go through phases of getting no emails at all for weeks on end, and then they suddenly start up again. I thought they'd solved that with the addition of a 'find survey' button on the website, but this week, clicking it barely finds any.

Even my plan B of using old emails doesn't work anymore.

Even when I click on the Orange available surveys button it goes to no surveys in my account?

Yup, I get the same.

Last month I'd click on the button and get a couple of surveys every day :(

Is the balance not updated in real time and only the next day to include your successful survey's earning?

After a few successful surveys did not post (those were led from initial non-successful survey then eventually one fully completed but miles not posted), I started to make screen shots of high value surveys and the completion screens, and checked the account activities after completion.

Today I notice that the account balance does not change even though the successful survey did post. (an improvement from a couple weeks ago). I never pay attention to this so not sure if this is always the case. So I need to check tomorrow to make sure the balance is updated.

It always varies in posting time. Ideally it is within a few minutes.. Sometimes a day or so

It usually updates on awardwallet within ten minutes. Sometimes the e-rewards website takes a day or two

Log out and in after 10 minutes and your points should be there.

I think I've experienced this too. Basically, it looks like there is a middle-tier award option that isn't listed on the screen. So, more than 25 or 50 cents, but not the full $10, for example. I'm trying to confirm this with E-rewards.

These types of experiences to make me question if the surveys are really worth it to actually get points. Keeping an account active, OK, but significant points, I'm just not so sure anymore. American Express is offering 70K Hhonors points for $1,000 spend right now. It just seems way easier to do sign up bonuses and get points through normal spend. You would need $12,500 E-rewards $s to equal that. How much time would that be?

I do like e-rewards in that the surveys are mostly easy to do, the app works well when it can find a survey, they offer partial credit, you mostly qualify or don't qualify pretty early on, once in a blue moon you get a very high $ amount for a more complicated survey/journal, and they've been around a while.

However, to put it in perspective, I did a survey for Marriott and received a $20 Amazon gift card for about 15 minutes. I did one for IHG and received 1,000 points for 10 minutes. The compensation with E-rewards is way less. What is the actual compensation for us to do these surveys? That could be an interesting spreadsheet. It does make me wonder if the companies paying for the surveys just aren't really paying a reasonable amount to get high quality results, or is E-rewards just making loads of money. I'm inclined to think it is the first. There are quite a number of places managing surveys. I guess most companies aren't willing to pay for the higher quality results with a more reasonable compensation. Honestly, I do wonder how many people really give significant thought to these surveys. Someone posted earlier about it being a race to the bottom (low compensation = lower quality inputs from survey takers).

Thoughts?

This is my experience as well. tls

There is a few 1000 point surveys being credited at 400 pts at the moment.

You don't want to - or at least certainly shouldn't - compare the rewards from an organization sending out very occasional and well paid surveys under their own name to their members vs the business of running survey panels. Completely unrelated once you get past the word "survey."

Is it true on e-rewards that you can only redeem once in a certain time period?

For some awards that's true, but for others it's not. tls

I collect Avios and it's once every 30 days.

Seems 90 days for Hilton
