I've updated all of my profile and I haven't recieved a survey since I posted this... I used to get them so often :confused:

Not for me. Almost a survey a day, with a few $25 for 20 minutes...which I've never seen before!

I'm going to throw this out there and hope no one is offended...

E-rewards claims to try to detect fraud, so I've always tried to keep my answers honest and consistent across surveys. Because of that, I only qualify for the full survey maybe 1/3-1/2 of the time. But I'm offered roughly 1 survey a day, sometimes more.

It could be a total BS threat but I wonder if "trying" to qualify for every survey somehow blacklists people? Or rushing thru as quickly as possible?

I keep my answers consistent, and the surveys always seem specifically targetted for my industry segment and my role within said industry. Said industry tends to be compensate quite a bit more than other industries and my roles (decision-maker) within said industry tends to be compensated at the top end of the spectrum. I haven't gotten an off-point survey in 6 months or so.

And I've been offered quite a few surveys that are very tightly focused geographically.

Maybe we're just lucky to fit the right demographics.

And to find out in timely fashion (before 10+ minutes into it).

The disqualification process is maddening.

Tho I did notice one survey where they had at least bumped it up to 50 cents. Hopefully that's the new trend.

As I get closer to 65 the number of survey offers I get had really slowed down. I wonder if it will stop completely on my birthday!

Just a thought - if you have more than one account, some have "fudged" their age to qualify where "ageism" might have excluded them previously. ;)

OP16, you look 29 and that's all that matters. :)

I'm well preserved and don't look my age, but arriving at Medicare age is daunting.

I am willing to ask for senior discounts!

I'm wondering if they aren't just hoping we'll "forget" about the accounts, and they won't have to pay out.
If not for FT I may not have even noticed that I don't hear from them anymore, and left the balance in there. I'm going to start cashing it out.

Looks like the continental award is still alive. So is ereward putting it in the new United account?
