I've usually have had good success with e-rewards over the years, but lately its getting ridiculous with how many surveys blackball and filter you out much later in the process,

I'm thinking of changing my e-rewards strategy to always select "yes someone in my household works in marketting" to be quickly filtered out for 0.25cent partial rewards. This would mean, filling out 400 surveys (at approx 10 seconds each) will equal to $100 e-rewards (valued at say $20 USD). 1 hour approx of survey clicking for mostly guaranteed $20 USD value seems like a fair deal to me but I'm afraid of being kicked out of e-rewards if all I'm doing is getting partial rewards.

Has anyone tried this strategy and did they get kicked out of e-rewards for just geting partial credit?

IHG has always posted sometime Monday evening for me, regardless of when i redeemed it during the week.

Not for e-rewards, but for the IHG Opinion Check-In scheme (run by e-rewards sister company SSI), I frequently intentionally disqualify myself to get the partial incentive. I still receive invites and my points post.

They do check profile information against what is in your original profile and if you consistently say something different than that profile, after a few weeks, you'll be directed to change your profile (presumably to match what you're now saying) when you go to the site.

I would be VERY surprised if this were really the case

Changes coming...
 

Got an email from E-Rewards:

Get Ready

Something big is coming.
More details to follow soon…

... I’m a little nervous about this. I really hope we don’t see a devaluation in the redemption schedule.

Already discussed recently.

We're all waiting with baited breath!

Another email about the “New e-Rewards”.

• Redesigned website
• Easier to earn and share what’s on your mind
• start surveys in a few taps
• Earn & redeem on your phone or tablet
• Unlock achievements, level up and share your views on trending topics

in other words a new website design design and some nonsense about levels.

Basically a new logo and a load of hot air, then.

I think you mean "bated breath" (unless you're referring to the joke about the cat who ate cheese and waited for a mouse with baited breath).

Sounds like they're making it look more like the parent company's standalone survey sites like Opinion Miles Club, Opinion Rewards Club, etc. Which have had badges/levels for a while but the levels don't really seem to do much.

From their e-mail "start surveys in a few taps". Does this mean they'll reduce the number of screening questions before you get to an actual survey? I normally have to click or tap more than a few times :rolleyes:

Here's hoping

Oops, yes! Thank you.
