Unless they've changed the system recently eRewards accumulates that way. $100 of their currency buys 2K Frequent Flyer Points in several airlines 1x month....

I was guilty of that too, not at that such level, but...

There seems to be more account culling among UK account holders...

I suspect that might have been how I was netted. The language/regional settings of my OS is EN_UK, which causes my region to be detected as UK even though I'm physically located in the US.

I don't think you need a special link.

Anyone else getting the privacy error warning screen when attempting to visit Erewards?

I've had that or something very similar for a few weeks. I've also had similar messages on other sites though, so, for me at least, it doesn't seem to be specific to e-rewards.

I get that message if I typo it as "erewards.com". I don't get message if I use "e-rewards.com"

If anyone gets the survey on household appliances today, I advise you to screen yoursrlf straight out of it. I just spent a long time getting to around 90% complete, then was screened out with only the 25 point "reward". A very dishonest way to operate.

This must be new. Redeemed for Alaska miles, and the website required me to enter my phone number to be texted a code to confirm my identity , I guess

Did you get as far as the videos of ads? (This was for Airport Home Appliance, right?)

I managed to finish and get the 4 erewards "dollars." I noticed that I was over 90% through the survey before these video clips appeared.

Nope, no videos. Just huge long list of questions about what appliances I have at home, how much I paid for them, how often I use them, etc. I got to about 90%, then screened out when questioned about my oven (I obviously don't use it enough for their liking).

Is this the same survey? I am on the UK site.

No, does not sound at all like the same survey. I thought maybe it was because you initially said it was about appliances, but no.
