I haven't noticed any significant dropoff in the number of surveys, but it does seem that most are the lower-value surveys, around $2-$5. Don't recall seeing anything in the $10+ range in the past week or so, or at least none that actually allowed me to attempt to answer the questions.

Yeah, I got the devaluation too. The $4 for 15 minutes ones are now $3.40 for 15 minutes, $2.50 for 10 minutes is down to $2.00, etc.
At least they haven’t increased what’s required for redemption yet.

I'm still getting the 25 cents - but the rewards seem to have slimmed down and I get a lot of $1 surveys that seem to take forever. Anything more than $1 I figure I'll be kicked out after a few pages...

I got one .25 yesterday and one today. Everything else there was no reward if I didn't complete the survey. I know at least one other person with the same experience. And yes, I'm definitely seeing slimmed-down survey rewards. The new "$3.40" reward is crazy. Down from what? $4.00? I guess that's a big deal if they're shaving pennies here and there across all the large number of people who participate. That probably adds up to a real cost saving for Dynata/e-rewards and/or their clients.

I've noticed the devaluation, but also the qualification questions are taking a lot longer.
Today, I have $2 for 14 minutes, along with $11.80 for 15 minutes. Luckily I cashed out on my rewards, this is mostly a a back up to accumulate airlines miles.
