The number is 4549871.

I'm used to being disqualified after a few general demographic questions and maybe questions about my interests, but not after I've already responded to lots of detailed questions.

I may have just taken that survey. If not, it was one very similar. I disqualified on a question about whether, if I was to switch my provider within the next 12 months, would it be more because of my current provider or more because of the new provider. There does not seem to be anything obviously disqualifying about either response, and I was already deeply into the survey. I wonder if there could be a bug in the survey.

Counsellor Nov 28, 2017 9:50 am

It's the same one, and I disqualified on the same question.

Anyone else experiencing a pattern of surveys recently where they ask your demographics right at the end of the survey after completing 99% of the survey to be then DQ?

I had that happen several times in the past and complained - sometimes they gave me credit - most times not - but it's a terrible way to do things. Now I find I get DQ'd for weird things (did you register to vote - yes - DQ'd) more than I do the demographics at the end :-)

How long does True Blue points tend to post? I redeemed $25 for 500 points on Oct 2 and so far nothing is showing on my account. I've complained several times to ERewards on this and all I get is a canned response telling me how to retrieve access to my account. It has nothing to do with my issue. Any ideas? I submitted a DM to their facebook page, maybe that will get somewhere.

The longest I had for TrueBlue points to post was a week, so Oct 2 is definitely an issue.

diningdecadence Dec 6, 2017 7:23 pm

anyone got a handy link to the list of partners they work with?

on my current account i'm limited to AA for airlines, and hilton/IHG/le club accor for hotels.

i would've sworn there's more options in Australia but wonder if i'm limited through signing up via AA. (e.g. i'm fairly certain Virgin/Velocity is a partner?)

cheers

neuromancer Dec 6, 2017 11:22 pm

partner list depends on who do you sign up through, if you have signed up through AA, they will be the only airline available.
Velocity is in the list for Australia. You can check the list on the website.

bswiz Dec 11, 2017 3:24 pm

Interestingly, all of my airline partners are back for redemptions after disappearing a couple months ago. Hope they stick around! Anyone else have them disappear only to return recently?

bj2757 Dec 15, 2017 7:13 pm

New Record?
 
It is for us. In the last two days on my wife's account she received 25 survey requests - qualified and finished 3! On the other 22 there were a LOT of questions answered to get 25 cents.

nomiiiii Dec 15, 2017 11:17 pm

The best I got a couple days ago was a survey for $40 e-rewards, and the survey was average length (like 10-15 mins). Must've been a mistake price, but it did post.

PCMflyer Dec 16, 2017 11:49 am

I redeemed for Hilton points twice this week so it appears they are back to being unlimited. Back in October they briefly said only one redemption every 60 days. I think I have around 150,000 points on my Hilton account this year from E-rewards.

randix Dec 16, 2017 1:58 pm

Not for me...

"You have previously redeemed a reward from this sponsor within the last 60 days. Redemption rules for this Reward stipulate that you may make only one redemption every 60 days. You may either choose a different Reward now or redeem this Reward at a later date (once 60 days have passed since your most recent redemption of any Reward from this Sponsor)."

How are people doing with multiple accounts these days?

I have two accounts (in two different countries with two different e-mail addresses). I am now looking for a way to set up at least one more account. However, the only way I can do it at the moment is via Avios, with an e-mail address that I am already using.

How likely is it that I will get away with using two accounts with the same e-mail address, redeeming to the same FFPs or hotel programs?

E-Rewards Missing Redemption No Customer Service
 
I redeemed points for Accor Hotel with e-rewards in October and have not received the points. I have received them in the past. When I contact e-rewards customer service (email only) I've been getting formula responses. This has been going on for three weeks. I have not gotten any closer to a solution nor has anyone from their customer service actually responded to me other than a stock response. I've also sent multiple requests. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks.

CarlosRodrigue Dec 18, 2017 6:54 pm

robin,
E-Rewards has no customer service. The company is researchnow.com try getting through at that company.

On another subject for today:
WARNING: I say do not do any survery from "Liebermann Surveys." You will get through most of survey, and then it cuts you out after they get so much information. They will not pay you. It is a scam, but only the Liebermann surveys. Other surveys OK.

I no use multiple accounts. I may be cheap, but have my honor.

Same with GFK survey on Microsoft Office 365... answered every single question, to be DQ after last one, when only reward for my 15minutes should be given. Damn cheats.

I redeemed $60 for 1000 Accor points a few days ago. The points have already been deposited.

So far we have:

Sorry, but I'm not understanding how e-rewards and Hertz tie in to IHG EQ points? Could you please explain? Thanks.

You cannot have two accounts with the same email address. However it is easy to create an email address, or an alias for an existing one...
You'll need a telephone number to verify the new e-rewards account, which is a bit more difficult.

GlacierGirl Jan 7, 2018 8:00 pm

I'm a member of Alaska's e-rewards program. I received an email from Southwest with an offer to join Rewards for Opinions, and it came to the same address I use for the Alaska program. Do I need to shut down the Alaska one if I prefer the Southwest program? Do I need to wait any time before switching from one to the other?

beachmouse Jan 7, 2018 10:43 pm

Is is for this site?

https://www.rewardsforopinions.com/

If so, that's for the SSI side of the (now merged) company, not the E-Rewards side of Research Now. SSI runs those survey programs for a number of different companies (United, Jet Blue, KLM-Flying Blue, Alaska Le Club Accor, BA, Hawaiian, and IHG just off the top of my head) and you can have accounts in any number of them in addition to e-Rewards. SSI tracks you and lets you do five surveys per day across all of those programs.

While a lot of the SSI surveys seem like more work than it's worth, if you can get the daily 'Pop Rewards' tv survey (the screening question for that one asks you what tv shows you watched yesterday) it's quick and pretty painless if you've only watched one tv show yesterday from their list.

The phone number is only used once, right? When setting up the account? I already have two accounts in two different countries (I have a dual sim phone), but I want to set up another UK account.

I'm not sure it is used only once. For me it was used once, but I've seen it here that it can be needed more times, if you redeem more often... I've redeemed once per month and the phone verification was used just the first time. Also, I'm not sure if the numbers need to be unique to the account they are used for, but it seems so, otherwise what's the point...

1. $120.00 in e-Rewards Currency -> 1100 Hertz Gold Plus Rewards™™ Points ("one (1) redemption per calendar quarter, per Hertz Gold Plus Rewards account and/or e-Rewards member account")
2. 600 Hertz Gold Plus Rewards™™ Points -> 1000 IHG Rewards Club Points (EQ)

Wait wait wait. Hertz Gold Points to IHG, what is this? Never heard. Do you mean you convert Hertz gold points directly on Hertz membership pages to IHG, or some other way?
I have 2100 hertz points hanging with no use and I would be happy to convert them to (EQ) IHG points!

Five surveys across all the SSI programs? The e-rewards is totally separate?

Can I use the same email address for both a SSI and e-rewards account with the SAME airline?

Thanks so much.

beachmouse Jan 8, 2018 10:13 am

Looking back, the new Southwest one is the Research Now version of the SSI singleton site. I use one e-mail address for all the following programs, have for many years in many cases, and totally escaped last year's e-Rewards purge. For SSI, they even helpfully populate your demographic profile when you sign up for a new singleton account with an old address so you don't have to go through the repeat of explaining how you're a Hispanic chainsmoker living in Iowa with a household income of $200K a year and who has three kids under age 18.

The mutiple redemption programs:
e-Rewards
e-miles

The SSI singletons
Opinion Miles Club (United)
Points for Surveys (Jet Blue)
Rewards for Thoughts (BA)
Club Opinions (Accor)
Opinion Check-in (IHG)
Opinion Terminal (Alaska)

The Research Now Singletons (looks similar to the Southwest one you posted)
Jet Opinions (Jet Blue)

Yes, you can convert Hertz Gold Points to hotel points, IHG, Marriott and probably one or two others. Can do it online from your Hertz account.

But wait

600 hertz - 1000 IHG is a terrible ratio. Maybe if you really need the couple thousand elite miles but dang I don’t think I’m a taker especially considering hertz redemptions are once per quarter. I’ve been getting some really good value from one way 1,100 hertz redemptions lately that had cost $250+

3,000 IHG points compared to almost a 7 day free car rental (2,750 .. one ereward redemption away for you ^^^^)

thanks for the info though I guess it could be useful to somebody !

Of course you're right, but for someone who doesn't rent cars very often, and especially if their Hertz points are about to expire, the conversion would be better than nothing.

wadmak Jan 9, 2018 11:56 pm

Me again. :D

FYI VAFC miles 2 points still IHG EQ

I've found e-Rewards/Research Now to be pretty responsive when I get kicked out of a survey near the end. Earlier this week I had clicked through giant lists of life insurance companies and other service businesses, rating them on multiple aspects, and got kicked out after answering a few demographics questions at the end. I used the "Contact Us" button on the e-Rewards site and a day later they credited my account with $5.00. This happened a few months ago on an interminable survey on wines and I also got credit. My hope is that they'll respond to complaints because the only thing they have to sell is a group of people who spend money and offer honest, thoughtful answers their clients can use. Alienate that group and they have nothing to sell.
