You're focusing on the device on which you are taking the surveys. I really don't think it's all that complicated. It's not anything on your device that cuts off the surveys, obvious to me that e-rewards has a set limit on the number of surveys that can be taken by any account in one sitting (or some time period), and they simply "cut you off" from further surveys until that period expires. Not a matter of a "fingerprint" left on your device, or a cookie, they are controlling it from your logged in account on their side. When it kicks in, you can click on current or old survey links until you're blue in the face, generally it "ain't goin' happen". And they obviously are not goin' communicate as to what their specific policy is...

It's pretty obvious that they do both. I've accidentally clicked on links when overseas and then had the site refuse to let me do any other surveys until I cleared their cookies, so that clearly do set cookies on your device that affect future surveys.

Anyone else getting a "Travel and Tourism" study for $4.50 that already has your name and address pre-populated? The first screen asks me to verify it all and to enter my city (not determinable from the Zip Code, which includes two cities).
I considered putting in fake info but figured I might get my account terminated if caught. I am NOT comfortable with providing my name and address even before I know if I qualify for a survey so I closed it down. And yet....they keep trying to send it again, maybe 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Maybe I'm over-reacting given that I've handed over enough bits of my privacy shred by shred, over the last decade for a god AI application to find and describe me.

I feel like the surveys on this platform get worse every month. I've probably been using e-rewards for 5 years, perhaps as long as ten.
It is very hard to qualify for surveys. Also, it seems that many surveys are on a timer, so even if you thoughtfully answer each question, you get DQ'ed at the very end because you didn't do it slow enough.

Counter-point: I hadn't used Erewards in a while and finally decided to get back into it. I've been able to rack up quite a bit fairly quickly. Not sure if it has anything to do with ignoring it for the past couple months, but no complaints here about survey availability or qualification.

Well this is new! I just had 2 surveys this morning that I went through completely, and at the end it said I didn't qualify and I only got the 0.25 credit. I emailed E-rewards and already got a response. Apparently I was flagged for "speeding" which means they think I didn't take the survey seriously. I did read every question, but many of these things are so repetitive, you can fly right through them. The response included these screenshots - kinda cool to see what metrics they are recording.
Guess next time I'll take a couple bathroom breaks in between questions to slow myself down

One easy way to slow down is simply to multi-task. Have other windows (and/or devices) open and be doing other things while taking surveys. If you switch your attention back and forth, that can help set the pace appropriately.
On the other hand, if you are TOO slow, that can disqualify you as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I also noticed it on my other accounts too. Just a precaution from AwardWallet I guess.
