You are not the demographic that they are typically looking for. No offense. I am very close to that very same demographic. I get bumped from over 50% of surveys from the get-go.

I hear you - and agree. I still (up until the last month) have been getting $600 a month to redeem - but having to click through 5-10 surveys just to get 1 I qualify for when they have that data and advertise they do everything they can to get us good surveys - is pretty sad.

What makes people assume that there is only one particular demographic that surveys are aimed at? I'm sure there are a variety of different kinds of surveys aimed at a variety of different demographics.

I don't think anyone said that - "typical demographic" doesn't mean only one. I realize as an older, white male who is retired I'm going to have fewer matches - my only objection is they send them to me anyway.

Also, it's one thing to be dropped from the survey up front. It's quite another to get the demographic questions and get kicked out at the end of the survey after you've already spent a lot of time its questions, and for some reason there are some surveys that do that stuff at the end. That ticks me off no end.

Absolutely agree. I don't mind getting kicked out on Q4 when they see that I am an older white male. But when that happens on Q32 it is very irritating and not worth the 25 cents.

Just tell them that you are a 36-year-old CEO of a Fortune 500 company. You will qualify for a lot more surveys that way.

It used to be in the past that they locked your account if you contacted them so I do everything not to contact them anymore.

PS: I did verify they they aer not being blocked and my prefs areset to 10+ surveys/week.

Anyone have inside info on the e-rewards drought????
Any survey quoted by Dynata I seem to only qualify 10% of the time in recent weeks.

I had not received any survey invatations this year. I emailed e-rewards and asked them if there was a problem. A few days later I got an email telling me my account was now reset and I would now be elegible for new surveys. Since that email I am getting one survey opportunity a day.
No idea what happened.

I can only hope that people don't share their actual personal data with e-rewards...

I have done at least 50 surveys today and NOT ONE OF THEM had that stupid check point about what you dislike about technology. Maybe that is a thing of the past. Anybody else notice this?

Does anyone else have problems with the redemption to Hilton points? For a very long time redemptions have always taken around a week to credit. Meanwhile I am waiting for more than a month for several redemptions ...

I've only had one issue with Hilton awards redemptions. I redeemed for 7,000 HH points. After two weeks my Reward History for that reward changed from "Pending" to "Complete", but six weeks later I still had not received the points. I then wrote e-rewards, and one week and several updates later from e-rewards I was still waiting for the points, which they assured me would be coming. Eventually I did get the points, although I don't remember exactly how much longer it took. Based solely on that experience, I would say that if you don't receive your points in another week or so it likely means something has gone wrong with the redemption and you need write them.

I received one more of those %$#$% annoying check points after you posted this, but nothing since then. Fingers crossed they've finally put us out of our misery.
