Andrea A.

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
E-Rewards Opinion Panel

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!

Overall, it's fine... I do the surveys almost every day... some are repeatable and some are too long... hate political surveys... have to work hard to get the points and earn a lot of them to get the gift cards.

It started out ok when the previous survey site Harris Poll shut down and sent me an invitation for E-Rewards. After a few months on this site, I was trying to cash my earnings for a gift card and that's when the problem started. After telling them about the problem, they decided to terminate me. But the only thing that I was concerned about was the error message when trying to get the gift card. They are holding my earnings hostage by no means necessary!
