		<description>I&#039;ve been doing eRewards surveys for several years.  Initially, I signed up because I could earn miles on Northwest Airlines, which is an airline that I fly.  I&#039;ve earned enough miles from participating in eRewards to get several free flights on NW!  That seems worthy my time.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been with Erewards for a few years now and it&#039;s been a good experience. The surveys aren&#039;t sent with too high or low frequency (3-4/week) and are easy to complete. It&#039;s something I do when taking a break from work. And the rewards are great - I&#039;ve used them to get lots of magazine subscriptions and it makes for excellent, FREE leisure reading. Customer service is also excellent.</description>

		<description>I have been doing these rewards for a couple of years now. At first I thought I would never get anything out of it, but dedicating very little time, I got (about once a year) a reward which was a gift card from gap of macy&#039;s. So that was good for me. But now... their selection of rewards in the past month went down the hill. is VERY poor. And I have all of these points, and nothing to really redeem them on.</description>

		<description>If you have trouble getting credited for a survey, just send an email to their customer service.  I have had that happen a handful of times; but every time I&#039;ve sent an email, I get an apology and a credit on my account within a day or two.  I&#039;ve never had any problems with e-rewards.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been a member of E-rewards for 4 years now, and initially I have no real problems with this company.  But, recently that site is beginning to show signs of being a horrible joke on all of us.  I did two $6.50 surveys and have yet to receive credit for either of them, and the Quality Control staff is showing no signs of giving credit for surveys even though I fully qualified for both of them.  Secondly, the GameStop $25 card for $50 in E-rewards credit -- is a lie, the company paid GameStop for a bulk order of GameStop $25 gift cards and is reselling them at an absolute profit and then claims it was the deal they signed with Gamestop.  Unfortunately, for them, confirmed that was a lie with GameStop Corporate -- nice eRewards nice!

But the biggest lie is those contest giveaways at this site, how do you know when a winner is real or just created.  Well here&#039;s the biggest surprise, you can&#039;t there are no checks or balances to confirm whether or not a contest at this is site is legitimate.

Basically, if you collect e-rewards &quot;dollars&quot; you should cash out and restart or stockpile and cash in for multiple rewards at a particular level.</description>

		<description>I just want to here that e-rewards it legit! Every time I get hit with a scam attempt I start freaking out about what I&#039;m associated with.  I was also invited to do e-rewards &amp; have reward dollars converted to Upromise rewards, but not dollar for dollar. ($30 gets me $5.00 Upromise).  The more u save up, the better the trade, but I figure there is no guarentee it won&#039;t suddenly disappear. Thanx for the comments.</description>

		<description>I have my ups and downs with e-rewards and have been doing it for around 3 years.  I go through periods where I just care and delete most my requests for surveys (I get approximately one a day in email).  But there are times I churn through them, achieving my Gamestop gift card goal.  Yes I must earn 50 e-reward dollars for a real $25 Gamestop card, but the card comes in the mail and it&#039;s real, all for a few days of answering surveys once a day?  Easy.  I have never been phoned by anyone.  It is strictly email.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been doing surveys for years and I do redeem for Borders rewards and magazines. For a few minutes of time here and there it&#039;s worth it. Nowadays every little bit helps. ;)</description>

		<description>This is the first time I ever looked up e-rewards to see what people were saying about it and I am a little shocked. I agree there have been some surveys that the link didn&#039;t work and a few other minor issues. I also agree that sometimes the surveys take longer than what they say or you answer 10 questions then it will tell you that you don&#039;t fit the criteria. Remember that there are various companies looking for certain demographics and info, so you are not always the person they want whether it is the age, geographic location, gender or other reason. Many people tend to forget that there are certain &quot;checks&quot; in the survey to see it you are being truthful or just clicking to get money, so that can shut you out and possibly decrease the number of surveys you may get I imagine. The rewards are not always that stellar and I&#039;ve only be participating for a year and have seen some of the better rewards be removed, yet it is based on what partners sign up and how much of a reward they are willing to give. True it seems unfair that a 150 credit with get you a 50 Target card, but Target knows that most likely you are not earning all that money from answering survey with info pertinent to them, so why should they put up all the money for the card dollar for dollar. I have to say it has worked for me, with my 15 Borders bucks, my free Blockbuster rentals and soon a few magazines that I can enjoy without needing to pay for a year. Even looking at the hotels points on their websites it would take 4000 to get a magazine and just how many stays does it take to get 4000 points? A lot! It&#039;s nothing that is going to get you so many freebies or money that you can quit your job, but it can be a nice addition to your life for a few 30 minute surveys here and many 5 minutes ones there. Relax, enjoy and be patient.</description>
