Has anyone else been receiving almost no surveys on the UK site for the past 2 weeks? One a day or less. Of the few I get, they're almost all SSI ones now too that give me an error when I try to do them.
The company really seems to be going to the dogs lately. Its a shame, it was a great way of earning some miles on the side for years.

Maybe they have finally introduced account tracking via IP address, in fairness im still running more than two accounts but over the last year lost six accounts in their culls.

I haven't received an actual survey in weeks!
Lots of "invitations" (about two a day) saying to click on for a survey, but when you click there's no survey, just more irrelevant personal questions. They don't even bother adding the lie that the survey has closed. In those cases of false inducement, I just close the window.
Must be under new management, maybe simply trying to mine your personal data to sell.

Really getting annoyed with the 25-cent surveys (25 cents if you complete it, 25 cents in pity points). I started on one last night - the subject was the pneumonococcal pneumonia vaccine- and after going through the initial screening questions it went into several questions on what statements would be more effective in persuading me to be immunized. When I then got to the third of TWELVE screens asking me to choose the most effective and least effective among a group of statements, I shut the browser down.
I realize that I lost 25 cents and that they still got some actionable information, but I plan to close out of more of these when they ask too much. Another I did complete asked for text responses on a video commercial. Pretty sad that e-Rewards allows its clients to do this. I'm hoping that partially-completed surveys with early exits when the "reward" is the same as the pity points might send a message.

It seems that none of the awards for the ssi surveys are posting now, or is it just me? The posting was usually delayed by a few minutes to an hour, but I now have partial and full credits from yesterday that are still missing... Anyone else experiencing this problem? This problem doesn’t seem to affect the old style surveys, which usually post immediately. But those are rather scarce these days...

Well, I tried to see if things got fixed over the weekend. I had a few partial credits post on 3/15, probably less than a third of the ssi surveys I did, and all the older style ones - 3 in all, I think. No credit, partial or full, for any of the ssi surveys attempted or completed on 3/14, 3/16, 3/17. Delays in mileage posting, no credit for surveys... I wonder if e-Rewards is disappearing and these are the last sputters of a dying business...

So I'd be inclined to say e-Rewards site-specific IT issues rather than problems with the company as a whole.

That would indeed point to a problem with e-rewards, as it’s exactly the SSI surveys that aren’t posting on their website. I hope it isn’t indicative of e-rewards going out of business...
