With the cellphone verification, they have effectively killed managing multiple accounts (cannot use same phone number across two accounts, and webbased phones like google voice don't work). Unless someone can PM a workaround for it.
With that, time to say goodbye to e-rewards. In its heydey, it enabled me to get IHG Spire status for 2 years straight for me and SO combined (which I then statusmatched for diamond etc status with other hotels).
It enabled many hertz, choice, accor and several other points.
Thanks for all the free vacations and goodbye.

If they've tightened that up, it would be nice if they then allowed more surveys per day per verified account than the current three. USA users can get five surveys a day across the different SSI survey programs.

At what point do they ask for a phone number? I got to the final confirmation page and wasn't asked.
Do not want to really redeem right now, as I want to use my phone number with the right mileage account and it is too early to redeem there

I just got bounced from erewards. No idea why. I did not realize for a little while, then I noticed I was not getting any surveys so I went to check. It said my account was temporarily suspended. I thought maybe their emails had been bounced from my email account due to spam filters so I sent in the customer service form. Here is what I got in response:
Dear Katharyn,
Thank you for your query. We have reviewed your account and we have identified several discrepancies in your account details and/or survey activity that are in breach of our terms and conditions. We regret to inform you that under such terms, we have had to suspend your account permanently. You will no longer be able to take surveys and claim rewards from our website going forward. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Thank you for your inquiry,
Taylor
I have no idea what they are talking about. I am sure I had about $50 in erewards booked. I usually redeem for AA miles every time I get to $100.
Anyone else have this?

I'm just kind of surprised it took them this long to set up an account verification code since Swagbucks, Perk, and Checkpoints have had them for years.

Dear xxxx,
I apologize, please retry to access your account.
NOTE:
We now require mobile or landline verification in order to redeem your rewards. Mobile or landline verification keeps your rewards safe and your account secure.
For data security you will need to verify your account with a valid US mobile or landline number in order to redeem a reward. Once you provide your mobile or landline number, we'll send you a validation code that you'll need to enter before you can successfully redeem. This step is for additional data security to protect your account and your rewards balance. We will not share your details with third parties or use it for any marketing purposes.
Please note: you only need to do this once; after the initial verification, you will be able to redeem rewards without entering a number every time.

Tried to enter a German cellphone number with 11 digits, but the field accepts just 10, after that my account was deactivated. (after transferring 8000 Honors Points)
