At least you always get a partial credit even if you don't qualify for a specific survey. While the rewards are pretty scant, if you use your brain you can end up getting some very nice stuff like jewelry and electronic gadgets. I'd rather have the points than $3 survey checks any day. ;)

i have $185. and no way of getting a gift, i don't travel, not enterested in mag,don't stay in motels, live a very small community no blochbuster, or orther gift card companies, so how do i get $185. cashed in?

I belong to this panel. I regularly email them to complain about their selection of "Rewards". I am perfectly able to find an online coupon if I wish to place an order from eBags or FTD, so please don't call that a reward. What some people won't realize as they read these reviews is that they will see someone saying that when you reach a certain payout you can get a certain reward (such as a deposit to a UPromise account), but this will ONLY apply to you if you signed up for E-Rewards directly through a referral from that company. So - I can get a $25 AE gift card when I reach $45, but you can't unless you signed up through a referral from AE. Don't be fooled, the majority of these "rewards" are far from it.

I am a member for one reason only - You can redeem your e-Rewards money for American Eagle Gift Cards. $45 in eRewards currency equals $25.00. I get quite a few surveys and have qualified for about $150 in AE gift cards so far and i always get then in a week or so. Some tips: Once you finish a survey, click the "next" button. They don't advertise this but it will often ask you more questions and you will get more surveys :)

E Rewards sends a lot of surveys and you always receive points. As others have already mentioned, their rewards are crummy, the worst I have seen. I don't want to spend $200 at a store to save $10.

I been a member for several years and used to enjoy doing surveys on ad effectiveness and products in development. I haven't seen one of those in at least a year. Surveys now ask for really specific information on my health and finances. Areas which fall firmly into the NYOB category. This morning, I got a request to do a survey on travel. When I clicked on the link to the sight, I got a security alert indicating that the website was trying to obtain information from my computer. I didn't allow the info to be transmitted, obviously, and was then transfered to a thanks but no thanks page. This is a new low and I'm officially creeped out. Goodbye Erewards.

Slightly better than a stick in the eye. I always love when a percentage of my "earnings" expire every year. I would love to spend them on the discount coupons they offer as rewards, you know, spend $350 at an online Steak company at their regular prices and get $5 off. What a deal. But the upside is they use more intrusive questions than a lot of companies. It is only a matter of time before they offer the social security number survey...where you need to list the SSN of every family member, then get told you don't qualify...but keep trying so you can earn enough to get $1 off a subscription that subscription to Teen Vogue you've been pining for.

I was excited about this one because I seemed to be getting surveys very frequently and had accumulated about $25 in my account towards the purchase of rewards- then I started to notice that the surveys they were sending me began to ask me about financial information. How much money do I make, what bank do I use, do I have a credit card, what credit card companies do I use ... considering that these people already had my name and address and various bits of personal information, I realized it probably wasn't a really good idea to just casually toss this information out there. I replied on one of the intrusive surveys and stated that where I do my personal banking is none of their business. I've never received a survey from them since!

the awards are BOGUS, discounts on future spending do NOT qualify as legitamate awards. most awards are like coupons the companies give away for free!!!! get some real awards!!!!

On the plus side: Whenever I have tried redeeming my rewards, it has been straightforward.
On the negative side: Twice now I have taken "screeners" that either were not screeners or that were unconscionably long. For the last one, it took over 10 minutes, I answered a series of questions, watched a 3+ minute video, answered additional questions -- and was told I did not qualify. The second time, I completed screeners for two studies within one survey (the questions asking for similar demographic information repeated) -- which is not ethical.

THIS SITE IS PERFECT IF YOU LOVE TO AND/OR CAN AFFORD TO TRVEL. THEY OFFER VERY FEW REWARDS THAT ARE NOT FOR AIRFAIR OR STUFF YOU DON'T WANT BECAUSE OF THE GENRE IN WHICH THEY FALL. I WILL SAY THAT FOR THE SURVEYS YOU QUALIFY FOR AND COMPLETE YOU GET A NICE CASH AMMOUNT THAT CAN BE USED TO CHOOSE FROM THEIR CATALOGUE. EVEN IF YOU DON'T QUALIFY YOU GET MORE THEN WOULD BE EXPECTED, CONSIDERING YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I've earned about $80 with this website. I have frequently gotten survey requests, and have qualified for the full amount on several. The problem is that the only reward I'm interested in is for Blockbuster ($25), but I can only redeem the award once every 6 months.

This one takes a while but when you finally get $50 in e-rewards you can have them transfer then to a UPromise acct for your child when they are college age but it will only be $10 actual $ for them.

The rewards are pathetic. They do not even have gift cards -- they are all coupons. I can find a $10 off for $50 spent coupon online without having to take surveys. In order to use most rewards, you have to spend additional money -- these should be gift cards, not coupons!

Surveys are good if you qualify. It is hard to qaulify for most. I joined through upromise so i earn u promise dollars which are deposited into my upromise account when I claim them. I have over $60 in just 4 months so I think it is worth the time.

I've been an E-Rewards member for a couple of years now. I'll agree that the Rewards aren't thrilling but there are a few that I've found it worth sticking around for, namely the Borders bucks and some of the magazine subscriptions.

Some of the surveys run long but that's the extent of my complaints. I've never had a problem receiving credit, nor redeeming rewards. I receive plenty of offers to pick from. I've never had a problem with rewards expiring. And I've never been kicked from a survey after spending any reasonable amount of time providing answers.

All in all, I'd say it's a decent little panel. Again, the only major flaw is the lack of exciting rewards.

YOU CAN GET A LOT OF POINTS BUT THE REWARDS ARE NOT REALLY GOOD AND SOME OF THEM ARE OUT OF STOCK MOST OF THE TIME. THEY HAVE A RESTRICTION ON GETTING THE SAME REWARD TWICE. YOU CAN ONLY REDEEM THAT REWARD IN A 90 DAY PERIOD.

I had 100 points and all of what I wanted they were out of, too few choices and poor ones at that. Everything else was fine.

I love E-Rewards, I have a lot of downtime at my job and take surveys a few times a week as a way to waste time. With E-Rewards it really pays off. I accumulated enough points in the past 3 months to get 4 GameStop $25 gift cards! Love E-Reards, just with they had more surveys

Been with E-Rewards for a few years. Although I don't get many surveys or hardly ever quailfy to complete an entire survey. I have gotten a few rewards over the last few years. Will continue to stay with this company.

No wonder they can offer such high payment, I've yet to receive a reward I have cashed out for. And "customer service" should be called "customer avoidance".

Yes, the rewards are pretty lame. Airline miles, points at Hilton, Blockbuster rentals, etc. Nothing great, but I have redeeemed Blockbuster free renatls w/o problems, and got my TD reward. Always "pay" me for the surveys I take, and no probs qualifying for surveys. Overall: Suverys= ok
frequency=good, rewards=eh. But they are legit. Try them if you like

I do enjoy receiving free subscriptions, and having earned over $100 in rewards in less than 6 months is pretty cool. I've seen surveys sponsored by J.D. Powers and such and feel that they are legitimate. Sometimes it seems that you can get pretty far into a survey then get unqualified, but this doesn't happen too much, at least they do give something. Since I'm not expecting to get a new car from them, It is worth my time and should be worth anyone's time that enjoys reading.

I, too, get frustrated with the ineligibilty criteria. You must be able to prdict the needs of the panel to advance. However, I have accumulated over $50 in rewards in less than four months. My time is worth the Delta SkyMiles awarded. I can see, though, how others might see the site as hokey. All I can say is to be as objective as possible without being too personal with answers. The site will only take the target demographic feedback needed as well as the participation limit. Hang in there.

I started taking these surveys over a year ago. I didn't qualify to finish most of them (not really sure I qualified to finish a single one, actually) but I stuck with it because I wanted some GameStop bucks. It took me over a year to accumulate the amount of points for a $25 Gamestop card. I cashed in my points, and waited. And waited. And waited.

It's been three months since I cashed in those points, and I still have yet to see a thing, other than e-mails from a guy who assured me that the cards were there, they were being processed, and so forth. At this point, I have to reasonably assume I've been ripped off.

What a scam. IT takes forever to get any money to start with, and then your reward is nothing! Avoid these guys, for sure.

I started this survey site about six months ago and I was quite pleased when my rewards showed that I had over $100 in e-rewards coming, but the incentives are like "$50 off of a $125 e-bag" and airline miles and magazine subscriptions. Things I don't need or can't afford to redeem.

I enjoy working with the E-rewards panel- they send a good amount of surveys and many are interesting and you'll feel like you are helping shape new products. It's as legitimate and safe as they come.

Your incentives can build up fairly quickly, as well. The main disadvantage of E-rewards is the rewards just aren't very enticing to me. You can save some money shopping at expensive websites with their incentives, or purchase discounted air miles- but there's just not much in their catalog that has wide appeal.

I usually just end up with magazine subscriptions.

It's a well-designed and concise panel but doesn't provide quality incentives.

I have been with them for about three years and I earn a lot of monet but the rewards that that you can redeem for are not very good. i have told them to give less money and better rewards but so far they have not done any improvements. i would not recommend this survey company. there are so many others that are better.

I've been with e-rewards for about a year and a half now. I get approximately 10 surveys per month and qualify for 7-8 of them (I guess I must be in a popular target age/area). They "pay" extremely well in their point currency and within a year of being with them I had racked up over $250. I've gotten free rentals and pre-viewed movies at blockbuster, $15 to Borders, lots of airline mileage, 3 magazine subscriptions, and gift certificates to restaurants. For the amount of time it takes, I think it's totally worth it. If you don't like the rewards you can always sign up for their upromise rewards where you can earn money to save for college or to pay of existing student loans.

Boy is this market research company in a win win situation with their clients. Hey you just pay for the data and don't worry about the incentives.

I can admit I enjoy E-Rewards but not meeting the criteria required for some of the surveys really hurts in regards to recieveing points. The 25 dollar level of rewards are pretty nice. I normally use this to gain hotel points and airline miles which trusts me its beats paying for a flight any day or spending ten nights in a hotel to reach the status on my own. I earned a 1000 Hilton Honors points at the 25 dollar level which would have been 10 hotels stay at a hilton at a rate of at least 89.99 a night to qualify for what bascially took a hour and a half of my life away in a months time to do. Not happy about not qualifying on the big payout surveys most of the time but love the rewards for a guy that doesnt travel enough and hates paying so much when he does have to.

Pretty easy to accumilate points through E-Rewards although the rewards are pretty weak. However I just recently cashed mine in for american airlines miles (you have to have a mileage account already). Glad I did as my points expire after a certain time and an AA mileage rep said that their affiliation is going to end soon. i.e., cash in now since the few good rewards are through airlines that are either going to merge, go out of business &/or not accept miles through this program

Unless you like magazines, don't waste your time. E-Rewards clearly doesn't care about you, but themselves. Most of their surveys you don't qualify for. A total joke.

I thought this was going to be a nice site until I visited their reward schedule. The money you supposedly "earn" is only yours if you spend about twice as much more. How this is any better than a store hosted 30% off sale, which you see all the time anyway, I don't know.

It's very easy to earn points quick with this site but their rewards are almost non-existant unless you want magazines or wait till you earn a trillion dollar points to maybe join an airline club. A BIG WASTE OF TIME

I sent flowers to a friend and only had to pay delivery and handling. So,it saved me a bit of money. The rewards could be a better but they do pay in conditional gift vouchers.

I like E Rewards. They always give you reward points even if you don't qualify. Most of the rewards are magazine subscriptions. They need additional rewards. If you like getting free magazines then this is the site.

good company but they could ogger more rewards like free pizza hut pizza coupon vs. 4 5.00 off 20.00 orders,

The best reward this company has are the Blockbuster rentals you can cash in on. The only problem is you can only rent one movie per month. Needles to say I will not be doing any more surveys for this company. I definitely see why they are ranked so low on the panel.

They lie when they accept you into the full study after you pass the screening then spend 15-20 minutes giving them valuable info and they kick you out of the study saying you don't qualify. Don't give them your time!
