e-Rewards

Used to be a great survey are. Now it not worth the time. Just spent 25 minutes doing a survey 88 percent done and it kick me out. No rewards. This happens all the time now.

I've wasted several minutes on more than one review. Every time I do, it tells me I don't qualify and I get no rewards. Don't waste your time with this.

I too have had miserable experiences with the company and the mega giant company Dynata that owns them. Basically they are getting paid millions by corporations like Disney, Nestle, WSJ, etc. to collect data from consumers. So when they decide to pull the plug on their many survey takers, such as myself, they have essentially gotten their data for free and also got paid by their corporate cliental. Great scam. I'm hoping a class action suit has been filed against all of them.

I've been doing surveys on E-rewards for a while and thought it was fairly decent. They would indicate at onset the time for each survey which I found misleading or answering pre-questions before then you're told they have enough responses and you're given partial credit usually. 25 cents (occasionally. 50 cents) It takes a while to earn credits, I didn't get discouraged. I redeemed my credits with magazine subscriptions had no problem until my last order in June 2017, the magazine never arrived. I contacted them Sept. 2017 advised subscription can take about 12 wks. I waited then still no magazine sent another inquiry Nov 2,2017, the response (11-17) was to contact magazine customer service. That was a waste of time and the customer service rep gave me an UNBELIEVABLE answer. I was told no credits had been deducted, I told her I didn't agree but rather than argue I canceled my account.

I have been with E-rewards for a couple of years. I would get and complete surveys fairly often and was fairly happy with this and rewards. That is until recently my account was shut down with no warning and I had built a pretty decent balance. I contacted them and was told my account was closed because they claim I had given conflicting answers! I for sure know I would never do this. When I asked for evidence I was ignored and my inquiry was closed and I could not contact them again and they took all my money on my account! What a scam as it seems like they have done this to many people on investigation and coming here.

So I got an email stating I cashed out for gift card, I contacted them bc it was not me and clearly my account had be hacked. I changed my password immediately but their response was that it was valid and accessed by valid credentials. What a freaking joke. I assured her that I was not up at 2:30 in the morning cashing in rewards and that if she look at log in habits she would see this was a joke. They didn't look into the situation what so ever. I asked since it was my account to verify where I sent the card then and why wouldn't I just send it to my own email. See response below. Absolutely insane response. I asked them to stop the transaction and this was all I got. Ridiculous

I spent hours doing their surveys answering every question truthfully and earned enough to get a gift card. When it comes time to cash in I am unable to. I email the company and tell them I am unable to get anymore surveys and redeem my points. I get a generic email back saying my account has been suspended and I cannot redeem my credits. I got a generic list of what could have been the reasons for the suspensions but it did not specify what the reason was. I sent another email which was completely ignored by them and I just got another still not giving me a reason for suspending my credits and account. HUGH SCAM! Don't waste your time answering any of their survey because they will make up an excuse to not pay you for your time.

E-rewards does in fact provide gift cards for your opinions but they do it in the shadiest of ways. All surveys take two to three times longer than it's posted when you apply, so a survey that says takes 5 minutes takes 15 and that's if you're moving quickly. Rewards for surveys in dollars aren't actually what you get. You exchange $70 for a $25 gift card meaning you're actually getting less than half of what they're telling you you're getting per survey. Also, more often than not you take a survey that wastes 5 or 10 minutes and then don't qualify. You must wait 72 hrs to redeem after sign up and frequently the site won't let you redeem more than once per day. I actually did get several gift cards sent but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't work. E-rewards just seems like a site that could be decent and legitimate if they would be upfront about what you're actually earning and how long it takes instead of trying to sway it to their advantage.

The rewards aren't great, but if you need extra airline miles it's good for that. I have earned Starbucks gift cards before, but it takes a while to get to that reward level -- one $25 gift card costs $75. Too bad you can't redeem your 'cash' for actual cash. The other rewards are magazine subscriptions and e-gift certificates which you have to spend a certain amount first (like $10 off a $50 purchase at macys.com for example). The surveys are usually long, boring and very tedious.

Don't waste your time. I took enough surveys to finally qualify for a $25 gift card. When it came time to cash out there was an error. When I contacted customer service thry gave me some generic response saying that they couldn't confirm the authenticity of the account and sorry you are suspended and thank you for your understanding.
Seriously? After spending countless hours answering questions they can't pay out.
Such a scam. I wasted so much time in the hopes of a measley gift card.
