It's not exactly like this. The IP address must match your country of residence, chosen when you subscribe. I've subscribed as an UK resident, and most of the surveys are not expired when connecting from the UK. Of course, UK residents get much less surveys than US.

I am based in India and my address registered is an Indian address.. I get very few surveys till now.. but yday when I logged in I modified the settings to enable me to get more surveys..

Btw, for points I see the minimum redemption amt is 2000, but for $ its only 10 ?? Does this mean $1 = 200points approx ??

I can see multiple rewards options but all start at 2000 opinion points..

Also, did you update your settings to increase the frequency of surveys?

Yes, I did update my settings now, but wish I had logged in earlier .. Anyway will send them a mail today itself though I fear it may be too late..:(

I had used $100 to get 7,000 Hilton points earlier this year and figured the surveys, which seemed to be fewer and further between, would dry up. But yesterday I was able to do a survey for $7.50 that took me to $103 again so I redeemed it for another 7,000 Hilton points - which were in my account within minutes! Since I have never paid to stay in a Hilton Hotel, have had 4 free nights so far, and have 170,000 points built up to use on a long vacation (I'm retired so I need one) - I love programs like this :-)

Indeed most free proxies don't come with javascript. But try this.

After opening the e-Rewards link on any proxy, as soon as you click on the "Proceed to Survey" button and the proxy starts to load, immediately copy the resultant URL that appears on the proxy URL. You must do this quick, sometimes the resultant URL changes within a second or so! Then open a new page on your browser and paste that resultant URL on it, and you'll likely get through to the actual page. This "trick" does work for me sometimes.

Thanks for the idea! I have had that problem sporadically but was getting through in Hotspot shield. I have $20 expiring today so the best I can do is a e-subscription to PC Mag, I sent $30 to PC but couldn't get to $60. Many surveys come in at a time when I can't do them right away so even with the Hotspot shield I still get there too late.

Does anyone know if I can deposit points into the same Priority Club Rewards account from two (or three) different e-rewards accounts? PCR have a promotion going on for double points until August 31st. Thanks.

Foxberg, IDK, but do U know how long it takes PC points to post from e-r? Is it instant like HH, or ... ?

Points for PC post on the following Tuesdays. I'm not sure if it applies if redeeming on Sat, Sun or Mon. But very fast. Over all, I think you can get more for 4k PC then 7K HH. HH is absolutely devalued.

I logged in today to my account fearing that I will now be having very few opinion points with 709 points scheduled to expire on 1st aug 2010..
Surprise surpirse, I see no points hv expired and the new expiry shows 1st aug 2011 !!! ^ All this when i didnt even send them the email since missed sending it on the weekend and then it was too late :)

Now, hope to start getting some surveys to reach 2k points within this period :o

Yes, you can. Even simultaneously (while the first points havent posted). Have done this.

You mean even the e-Reward Account name does not match PCR Account name it will still post?
