Most unethical company – expire points w/o notice – no email, nothing. Anyway, their points are pretty much worthless. Hate them!!!! Recommend avoiding at all costs – you will save much time and annoyance.

people why the complaining. All these cost are time, a little bit of it. When your bored pr just find yourself doing nothing, then these surevey’s come in good hands…:). People complain about doing it and you are receiving free things….FREE, for answering some ?’s. The rewards that they offer may not be the best, but hello they are free…..I just received an American Eagle Outfitters $25 gift card, and all i had to do was fill out some survey’s. It’s not like we are forced to do them.

eRewards is a scam and a waste of time. First off they get you into all of these `surveys’ which you almost NEVER can complete because they are tailored just such that you spend a huge amount of time answering and just before the end you answer some question not to their `liking’ and the drop you out of the ’survey’. Up pops a window stating that … they already have enough of your type opinions for this survey… and they bounce you out to some 3 or 4 question lifestyle page and then back to your e-Opinions account page. That’s it. No credit for all the time you spent on the ’survey’, nothing, nada, zilch, zip and just a few cents credit for their lifestyle questions.

@…they already have enough of your type opinions for this subject…WTF? What kind of `survey’ is that? You’ve completed 80% or so and they run across an answer they don’t like, so your bounced out and your time and effort are for nothing! Is that a ’survey’ or a tailored rip-off?

This must be where all those BS product claims beginning with ‘A nationwide survey concludes…’ Yeah, right! More like ‘A nationwide survey tailored exactly to our desiredresults concludes…’

Then there’s the ‘products’ (aka. ‘promotional discounts)’ that’s available with your e-Rewards `cash’ worth about $0.25 on the dollar. So…

If you are ‘fortunate’ enough to get through their 20 minute `survey’ in a few days you may see a credit to your account for $5 (which is really about $1.25). That equates to about $3.75 an hour for your time and the ability to spend it on a product or service you probably don’t want or need.

I hate when people complain about something for pretty much nothing. A few mins here to fill out a survey to get some stuff isn’t really asking a lot. I’ve been a member for a few years now. I’ve never had an issue with anything they’ve done, and gotten all my rewards promptly when choosing them. (magazine subscriptions and giftcards) Not everyone will have the same experience, but some of you are just being way to picky. You shouldn’t be doing these kinds of things if you want awesome rewards. Get real people.

Been a member on and off for 3 years. It’s just a total rip off site for the amount of time invested. I stay a member because a year ago they sent me an invite for a medical survey, I qualified, and it paid $71. Cash! Not there e reward bucks! It took about 5 weeks for the check, but still not bad. I have emailed them countless times complaining about there incentives and it just falls
on deaf ears! I stay for the simple fact I shop at Macy’s quite often, and they fo offer a coupon code for $10 off a $50 order. And they did offer a 1 year mag subscription for Maxum. Nothing else to me is worth a thing! HERE IS ANOTHER WAY THEY BURN YOU ALSO. ON QUITE A FEW OF THE INCENTIVES, THEY CAN ONLY NE CASHED PUT ONCE PER 6 MONTHS OR ONCE PER YEAR! ALSO, ALL INCENTIVE MONEY GETS WIPED OFF YOUR ACCOUNT AFTER ONE YEAR. SO YOU CANT REALLY PILE A BUNCH OF MONEY UP AND GET A LARGE QUANTITY OF GIFT CODES AT ONCE! THEY CLAIM THEY EMAIL YPU 30 AHEAD IF TIME TO LET YOU KNOW, BUT I NEVER GOT IT!
Here is one plus, if your into gaming, and your an active buyer at GAMESPOT, THEY, meaning Gamespot, will sent you an invite to join there survey panel! The drawback is, E-REWARDS RUN IT! the way it works is you get the e-reward bucks when you complete a GAMESPOT survey. THEY GO ON YOU E-rewards account. Now, the good part. If you are a Gamespot member, you can use the e-reward buck to buy GAMESPOT GIFTCARDS! Not a 25% off of your bill type thing, a normal Giftcard! But if your not a member of that panel, then the rewards don’t even show up on the E-Rewards site incentive page!
All in all, this site is one of the worst for making good money or good incentives!
This is no joke, I make about $200-$300 per month taking surveys online, and doing focus groups. It’s taken me all of 3 years to figure out what sites are worth my time and effort, but if you have time and need some extra cash, it can be done! Just not on this E-Rewards site! If you want some info on good sites, let me know. cmf221244yahoo. It’s not the proper address, but if you know emails, you can figure out the rest!

True, rewards on eRewards are totally unappealing. Discounts are not good. I used it for miles and some magazine subscriptions but I will be leaving them – not worth the time and effort.

Maybe I should look into the Blockbuster reward; but my kids love Pizza Hut. That is where I see a problem. I just stop doing the surveys. It just is not worth the $5 coupon. I get a better deal by contacting the store and asking what the deal is for the day.

I agree. I want to redeem a coupon from Pizza Hut; but it is only worth $5. It has taken me several surveys and time to get this wonderful $5; because they will only give you the coupons in $5 increments. As you know, Pizza Hut will only take one coupon with an order.

rewards is not a scam at all. I do several online surveys that pay money and i have to say that the one downfall of this site is no cash. but as a frequent flyer of nwa this was a great way for me to earn more miles. So for me this is perfect. i have added several thousand miles to my already accumlated ones with the airlines and am getting ready to take a round trip from seattle to amsterdam with all my miles im getting this trip for 143.00 ( taxes etc) so this is a great reward for me…

An absolute scam. Gave them 100 points for a $50.00 Target gift card four months ago and still nothing but excuses–no card –no reply–nothing

I tried to activate the e-rewards survey, but I don’t think it worked. Nothing happened when I clicked on the email add, and I do not know how to cut and paste.

Theresa, I’m pretty sure e-rewards isn’t a scam, they are registered with the bbb.org. Also in regards to the survey errors, I have been a member for a while and have never gotten a survey error while taking one of their surveys. This may have happened to you because of your internet connection or the type of browser you are using. Dial up isn’t the best choice when takig surveys since you can loose connection easily. I have a cable modem and even when I do loose connection I fix the connection and return to the survey that I am doing.
Luv2Race also has a point, you are usually directed to another site that is actually conducting the survey so if you encounter problem while taking their survey you can always contact them about it as well. By telling them about the problem they can fix it and when you do take more surveys conducted by them you hopefully won’t encounter anymore error problems.

I have used their form and the only answer I get is an automated form to get a new password in which they state, a new password will be e-mailed to me and I never get the e-mail. I can’t get in touch with a person. Thank you for your response though.
