And for me as well and it has been my experience that the United points generally come back in stock within 3-4 weeks

Another fraudulent survey: from ORC International about insurances... once you complete everything and should just click to claim your reward, service becomes "unavailable"... worked perfectly so far, those cheap cheats.

Scam survey
 
Yet another one.

This one is about restaurants and eating out. I just went through literally 15 minutes of questions about what, where and when I eat. I was then taken to a series of questions about my attitude to life. Right at the end, the final click took me to the screen stating "Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time".

If you get this one, do yourself a favour and say you don't go to restaurants.

I hate restaurant surveys anyway. The questions always seem to not apply well to people who eat at restaurants a lot because of frequent travel. There are chains that I only eat at when traveling because they tend to be near hotels that I never eat at when at home.

Anyone else being allowed more survey completions the past few days? For several years, it's seemed like you were allowed three survey completions in the USA version before things closed up for the day, but recently, it's gone decidedly past that for me.

Ugh I got filtered out of that survey. I wonder what the qualifying criteria was, I really tried to carefully answer the initial questions to get accepted.

And another one... from ConfirmIt survey about printer toners and cartridges... answered every stupid question for 15 minutes, to be eliminated on the last page... we are getting more and more of those fraudulent surveys... what is E-Rewards doing?

Here is something "new" from e-rewards... I have been redeeming $100 worth of "e -rewards currency" for 2,400 Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Miles...once every 30 days...(as per their redemption policy)... been doing this for a for a couple of years!! THIS Month I try to redeem another Southwest Reward and the website is telling me I " I have already redeemed a Southwest reward in the redemption period". OK, I wait a day...

does it have anything to do with February being 28 days. So I think if you redeemed on the 17th of Feb you’ll have to wait until like the 19th or 20th of this month?

OKImready Mar 17, 2018 11:33 am

That has completely slipped my mind (Feb being a short month of 28 days...)..That is most likely it...Thanks for "waking me up"...

Ah...experienced this earlier this week so came to check what was going on. Spent my $100 on something else this time but I hope they make it back. Always feel like these programs are run with spit and baling wire...why would they ever be "out of stock" - it's not like there's a physical item and no other mileage partner I've ever done anything with has ever been "out of stock."

I suspect the rewards programs buy points in large lots in order to get some sort of bulk discount pricing, and every so often, they run through a lot and it takes a bit for them to get the next lot arranged. MyPoints will occasionally be out of stock with United miles too.

In the past, e-Rewards has been decent about letting users know when they're discontinuing a partnership at least a month out, so I do think the United OOS is temporary.
