e-Rewards

After reading many of the recent reviews, I see I'm not the only one this happened to. I've been a member over 10 years, a Diamond member, and I was just accused of being dishonest and having more than one account—neither of which is true. They stopped sending me surveys about two months ago when I tried to cash out, but having difficulty because the only number I have is my cell number which happens to be a VOIP number. Other survey sites bypassed that requirement for me, but not them. So emails were going back and forth all this time and getting nowhere to help me cash out. Obviously they had no intention of allowing me to do so. Then I noticed I wasn't getting invited to any surveys from their sister site Valued Opinions and emailed them. John answered and said he'd look into it. The next day he emails me about e-Rewards and suspends me for no good reason. Now I suspect the same thing will happen with the sister site since I was close to cashing out. Stay away from both these sites. They used to be good and paid you. No more!

E-rewards was taken over by Dynata (Research Now Group LLC), 5800 Tennyson Pkwy, Suite 600, Plano, Tx *******-3992. I just filed a complaint with BBB.org and suggest all of you reading this do the same. The more complaints, the better. And we might get our money back!

Just a waste of time. Surveys are long with few rewards. The bonus points offered (hotel points) were never awarded. Find better things to do.

I have been a member for 10 years and am quite done with them. They are literally the WORST!

Not only do they spam your email with 2 - 5 emails daily, they also make it not worth your time to do the surveys. $75 e-rewards currency is only worth $25 "real" money on a gift card. There are very few choices for gift cards. You are better off redeeming for airline points.

They trick you with $20 - $30 survey invitations, and after you spend 15 - 20 minutes filling out answers, those surveys either say you don't qualify or they have too many responses and kick you out. You end up with maybe 25 cents for your time. Average surveys are $4 - 5 "currency" and take about 20 - 30 minutes (divide the currency by 3 for what you make in real money!). Waste of time!

And good luck getting help from their horrible customer service! They take a whole week to respond and provide zero actual help besides canned copy-and-paste answers!

Beware of accidentally clicking the Unsubscribe button on their email. This will deactivate your account IMMEDIATELY without any confirmation that you want to deactivate your account. Then customer service will take weeks to get back to you and make you jump through hoops to reactivate your account when it should be easy considering you didn't mean to deactivate it in the first place!

Always cash out currency as you go because many people have lost thousands of dollars of their currency on these stupid surveys because e-Rewards is run by crooks. I never left any more than $75 or $100 in my account before redeeming for gift cards or airline points and suggest that you do the same.

Glad I cashed out my currency because I am tired of dealing with this BS company.

Suspended my account when my balance was nearly $300 so I could get gift cards for Christmas. No appeal process.

This website use to be pretty good with rewarding users to take surveys. But for the last4/5 months things has gotten really bad and the companies that you take the surveys for find every excuse no to pay you after you complete the surveys. Its always an excuse "we have men the number of responeses we needed" "you do not qualify" why not ask the questions before someone spend 20/30 minutes completing a survey to get to the last screen to say that. THEY ARE THIEVES THATS WHY! THEY STEAL YOUR TIME AND REFUSE TO PAY. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ALMOST EVERY SURVEY LATELY AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH. DONT EASTE YOUR TIME TAKING SURVEYS YOU WONT GET PAD FOR. BIGGGGGG SCAMMMMM

I am a victim of this survey company just like the thousands of other people. I was invited by them via a previous survey company that was in the process of shutting down early this year. Did very well with the surveys and getting the gift cards. But as of August of this year, I was unable to get a gift card. After emailing the issue of problem, their response was to terminated me with some stupid excuse of having email or account issues. Really? That was a few months ago. Now I was emailing them about a discrepancy about me using my tablet to do the surveys... in which it wasn't there before. Their answer was this:

Hello Andrea Abernathy,
Thank you for your email. Thank you for your patience.
Unfortunately, the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged, and upon review of your account, we have been forced to suspend your account.
As a member of our program you may only have one account, provide accurate profile information and survey responses. You must also be thoughtful and attentive in responding to our surveys. When we have concerns about any of these program rules we are obligated to take steps to investigate and unfortunately suspend accounts.
We do not take account suspension lightly and do so only when account issues have been identified. At this time your account has been indefinitely suspended and you will no longer be able to participate in surveys or claim rewards from our website.

Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,
Carlo

Again... really? You ask one simple question and everything goes south. And surprisingly enough, I can still sign on that website and update my profile. This company is a lost cause... don't sign up!
