null

Does anyone have any idea why many of the survey messages say "null" at the top?

Can you provide a link to that?
From googling, I found this website which does not seem to be the same what you talk about.

https://www.ultramobile.com/plans/

It does not seem being own by T-Mobile, but rather use T-Mobile network for its SIM cards.

Seems to be prepaid SIM cards sold at many retail outlets.

Any other data points on how long it's been taking Alaska miles to post? I've been waiting since January 25, and that seems longer than usual.

Looks like the promo I signed up for last month expired, so it's now $14 per month for the lowest. I paid $144 for a 12 month 3GB plan ( $10 per month plus the taxes and fees included.) You do need to make a minimum deposit (like $5) for the overseas roam charges if you get calls from or make calls to the US.
According to the internet machine, Ultra is a T-Mobile MVNO, which rolled up an number of prepaid service providers they had into Ultra.

Anybody else having trouble accessing surveys the last few days? It seems that no matter which survey I click to start, it keeps bringing me back to the same page saying "Thank you for accepting our invitation to participate in this e-Rewards earning opportunity. We apologize, but this opportunity has expired," with an opportunity to then start another survey. But if you click on that, it just continues the loop with the same survey showing up each time.

I was having this issue last night. Seems resolved today, at least for me.

This has happened to me before, but usually resolves itself when the problem survey expires. Or you can click on older emails and probably will not hit that particular survey.

I had the same problem with two different surveys from the same survey company. Tried everything to get rid of the problem surveys with no luck. Then tried accessing e-rewards on my ipad, and it seems that the problem surveys were not optimized for tablets, so they got kicked out and I was able to move on to other surveys in the queue.

Redeem & Get Surveys?

Well, this is interesting. Up until around December I was completing surveys & redeeming regularly. Since then, all I was getting was those pesky "answer a few questions to find a new survey". I had $60 so decided just to redeem & walk away from erewards altogether.

Out of curiosity last week, I checked my account and found a bunch of surveys which I completed😁

So, since redeeming, I've had numerous surveys and it appears I'm back to being able to rack up erewards.

Anyone else found this?
