I've enjoyed this panel for several years. Problem began in Feb 2013. I "bought" 2 rewards with earned incentive dollars; by mid-March had not received. Sent 2 emails from their website, with my info, requesting these rewards. No response. On 4/26 filed complaint @Better Business Bureau; 10 days later no response.

I too thought the rewards weren't all that great, But I found out with the airline points that you can then trade points for gift cards. For instance, If you're a Southwest Rapid Rewards member, You can redeem points for a variety of gift cards. Shell, Bath & Body Works, Kohls, TGIF and lots more.

I've been a part of this company since the beginning. I was recommended to e-rewards by u.talk.back when they shut down. Some of the rewards do suck. There's plenty for people who like to travel though. I've always gotten my rewards in a short amount of time and I'm always recommending my friends to it.

How is it this panel calls itself E-Rewards, yet the actual rewards are so lame? The vast majority are airline or hotel points, which might be fine if you travel for business or retired and constantly on vacation, but that's got to be maybe 10-15% of the population? Most the rest of the rewards require you buy something first, in other words you need to spend 20 dollars and up at some site just to get the reward. Then there's the magazine subscriptions, about the only thing I use, but the selection could use more broad based titles like Smithsonian or Entertainment Weekly than narrow niche publications like Cigar Affectinado.
Use to be this site offered rewards I actually used, like Borders certificates or Target gift cards, but the first is long out of business and not seen them offer the other in a while.
Oh well, points never expire, so guess I'll just keep taking surveys and sitting on my $400 plus points until they come up with something worthwhile rewards wise.

I used to be able to get $25 GameStop gift card for $50 survey money. Now, they jacked up to $75 survey money to get $25 gift card. What a rip off. They used to have several other gift cards too such as Macy's. Not any more. If you are not interested in saving mileage for traveling, do not sign up.

I have been on this panel about 3 months. I looked at the drop down menu and the selection apeared to be quite a selection. I thought - ok! lets accumilate some bucks and pick something out. Well yesterday I found out that that drop down menu is bogus, except, as has been stated for magazines and hotel/travel miles. So i sent off a query asking what was up! Today I got another survey and upon attempting to answer I found out I am now blocked. Guess they don't like trouble makers or someone stirring the pot.

So...I am wondering why they say choose rewards when the only one available is for upromise. And the money to reward ratio is crazy!!! It cost $30 to get a upromise credit of $5!!!! What a rip!!! What happened to this site?? It use to be worthwhile, now...not worth it.

Have been filling in surveys for several years and when I finally had enough dollars to claim an award the claim app says my Choice Privileges account number is not valid. Funny thing is I filled out a special survey that I assumed was from Choice Privileges and I was awarded points for that one.

The other thing is that even if they were to payout, their dollars aren't anywhere near real dollars. From the e-R dollars awarded for surveys, $3-4 for a 20-30 minute survey, you figure you're making about minimum wage which is better than nothing. But when you try to cash in you find 100 e-Reward dollars gets you 4000 Choice Privileges points which is 2000 points short of what it takes to get a $40 hotel room.

I love eRewards and have been with them longer than any panel. The surveys are good and if you work them diligently you can build up your points quickly. I love to travel and already a Hilton Honors account anyway, so I save up to $100 and get my 7500 HH points. It usually only takes a couple months to do that and it's something that I can really use since I don't travel for work as much as I used to. I wouldn't waste my time on the gift cards. I usually qualify for over 60% of them and even if I don't,I get .25 or so for trying. They expire quickly so if you see the invite, you must act.

Till now I was ok, with spending $45 of my heard earned rewards dollars, for a macy's card. Now, it costs $70. Their rewards suck... BAD!!!
I don't recommend anymore spending their time doing surveys, unless you like to travel.

PS- TO E-REWARDS: people that like to travel and go to hotels, don't need to spend their time doing surveys. They are usually well off.
And the magazine selection you offer, I can get them for free.
YOUR INCENTIVES ARE HORRIBLE!!

I see mention of gift cards & other things. The only option offered me was U-Promise points to put in my grandson's account! In a couple of years, I've accrued the princely sum of $192 toward his college education - but by the time he actually goes, it may pay the tuition for a credit hour. If it weren't for him, I'd drop it. On the other hand, the surveys are mostly very brief, and they do give .25 in partial credit for trying, so it's not a complete wash.

I've been with them since 2005.Back then at least you could get used dvd's from Blockbuster.The Target card was good.But steep on the cash versus reward.I would not recommend them to anyone that don't like to travel or fly.

I have always liked e-Rewards but here lately when I try to contact them, I get a confirmation e--mail that they will contact me (yeah right) On my last reward I tried to contact them for over 14 days and I keep getting same message over & over but never an answer from them. They use to have some pretty good rewards but now just Mags & airplane miles, I'll pass from now on!

I've been a member since 2008 when I first flew on AirTran to St. Louis. I got an email invitation and joined. It was slow starting at first because I was just getting used to the idea of taking surveys for rewards, but now I'm so glad I signed up! I used to use the rewards on AirTran A+ Rewards points but I never used the points so they would often go to waste. I've gotten magazine subscriptions which were awesome and I just got my first $25 iTunes gift card today after they added them back to the inventory. I will admit that some of the surveys they send you tend to be quite long and I don't finish all of them but I love them nonetheless. I love getting things free and this company is 100% legit.

I have once to be able to complete a survey in anywhere near the "estimated completion time". They usually take about twice as long! But my biggest complaint is that many many times, I have spent 20-30 minutes, page after page of survey (not screening) questions, to be told that I don't qualify. They have what they need and pay $.25. I emailed them yesterday with no reply and I'm quitting!

Other people are talking about rewards that are not listed when I sign on to e rewards, and some of them I would definitely be able to use. I have no idea why that is especially with Internet everywhere. I have e mailed e rewards on at least 3 occasions about the amount of time (half of more of the listed time to take a survey) I have spent on their surveys only to be told my responses do not qualify me very annoying and on one of the times I got full credit, and they said that they are working on the problem it does seem a bit better on that, but it as good as it should be. Even if I had some of those other choices I still think they need to expand there is just not enough usable rewards, I usually just get Macy's gift cards it takes $45.00 e dollars to get a $25.00 gift card a bit steep!

I've been an occasional participant in e-Rewards' surveys for a numnber of years, and they've clearly ripped me off. The "currency" in which they reward you used to be much closer to par, but is now down to 33 cents on the gift card dollar (which is itself often available at, say, Safeway, for less than a real dollar). This inflation of their "currency" is under their arbitrary control, and not only misleads you about their current rewards but claws back the value of work you've already done for them. I feel pretty dumb for having had anything to do with them.

I have cashed in my rewards more than once for Hilton Honors points. I'm a frequent traveler and those points are a valuable/realistic reward. They are NOT just magazine subscriptions or movie rentals. Let your rewards points add up for once, you'll get better rewards when cashing in. Trying to cash in $10 in incentives is not going to get you anywhere. I'm currently approximately at $88 and once I hit $100, I'm cashing in for 7500 Hilton Honors points. That's a few nights' stay if I were to earn them by actually staying at the hotel. I always complete the surveys whether I qualify to move forward with them or not. Every little bit helps and they do award you something every time you attempt to complete a survey, small or large amount depends on how applicable you are as a survey taker. At least they qualify their participants.

I like e-rewards overall. Their surveys are interesting and they contact me often. I've done some product tests for them. You earn points and then trade the points in for rewards. Unfortunately, the rewards aren't very good. Mostly magazine subscriptions. I wish they'd come up with some better rewards.

I like this survey company - I do agree the incentives are a bit out of reach, but I get qualified almost every time and if I don't, then I get paid 0.25 to .95 in my account. I am planning on doing as many surveys as I can with this company for next May 2013. I am after the Hilton Honors points and want to see if I can get a free night... Surveys here I come! :0)

I've been a member of E-Rewards for about 18 months. So far I've earned 8000 Delta skymiles and 10000 La Quinta rewards points. The website is very clear about what rewards are available, and for what companies, so I don't really understand the people who are complaining about that. You aren't going to qualify for every survey - I'd say my qualify rate is somewhere between 30 and 40% - but even the surveys you don't qualify for offer a reward of 25 cents to $1.50! You're getting stuff for free - hotel points, rental car points, airline miles, magazines, Ticketmaster gift cards, clothing points...what's to complain about? There's something for everyone if you are just patient!

Huge waste of time. Their rewards are quite bad. Before I was getting Border's bucks, but now it's gone (with Borders).
Last straw - I redeemed my points for one of the magazines in January, still waiting for response in June. They gave me runaround asking to contact another company that had nothing to do with my order, then promised to write me back with updates and did not do it.

This site is legit and it is really good. I always get the GameStop cards.
Just wish u could cash out more often instead of quarterly with the GameStop cards.
Also wish they had better rewards. I only cash out for GameStop. The
Other rewards are just not worth it.

They reward you with "money", but the money in your account is only good for trading it in for points to things like air miles or hotel perks. Sometimes I spend 20 minutes online answering a multitude of questions for a payoff of $5.00. That would be OK, but often just as you think you are almost done, the connection suddenly does out and when you try to reconnect, you get a message that you have already completed this survey......but you did not even get the minimal pay off.

I used to order magazines for everyone I knew but now they've limited selection to mostly sports, business and entertainment only. No more fun magazines for women. The magazines are a dollar match for what you'd pay in the real world and then they have a limited amount of gift certificates. iTunes and a few others I can't remember right now. These are $25 gift certificates for $75 (points!) I don't know about you but I don't think it's cool that they charge 3x more for the gift certificates. They have tons of air miles and hotel rewards but I don't need those. Easy surveys though. My only complaint is lack of incentive.

Pros:
1. Receive lots of surveys & don't have to answer same profile questions repeatedly.
2. Had error message 1 time when submitting & account was credited instantly.
3. Says it takes 7-10 days for account to be credited but usually shows up that day.
4. Cashed out for gift cards 3X & received them in less than 2 weeks.
5. Never spent more than minute or 2 before being disqualified & always receive a little bit of credit for answering couple questions.

Only con are rewards offered. Only gift card I can get is Ticketmaster & can only cash out 1X per quarter. Zales.com gift card has $150 min purchase & excludes clearance items. Magazine prices are high. & I don't need air or hotel miles.

Ive been with them for about 2 years now.I have redeemed my money for gamestop gift cards for my kids. I think the company is great and I enjoy the surveys I get. I recommend this site.

I have been doing surveys for eRewards for at least two years. When I get $100 in rewards I cash them in on Hilton Honors points. They have been more than fair with me. When I get a survey that I think I have been cheated on (give lots of data and survey company bounces you out with minimum pay) they always have reimbursed me for the full amount. I really am surprised at all the negative reviews. That has not been my experience with eRewards!

I just started taking surveys, because of e-rewards. I got an invitation from SWA for Rapid rewards and jumped on it. Unlike other survey hosts e-rewards pays for rejections, and my failure rate has been low. Within the first month I will have earned over $75 in funny money, translating to 1500 RR points. I wish I could find other survey hosts this good !

I joined E-Rewards back in November and was recently able to redeem a $25 GameStop gift card. It takes a while (several months) to rack up the points you need to redeem, but they DO pay you.

I can't understand how this panel is rated so highly when they have so many negative reviews. They don't pay squat, E dollars are worthless. You can buy a magazine with them but you can get those magazines for free without making them rich doing their surveys. I think their owners must be coming here to rate them because any one who has been a member of their panel knows how cheap they are.

I joined eRewards about a year ago; I just recently cashed in points for a Starbucks card. I could not believe how fast the card showed up, no more than a week to 10 days after I requested it. I would like to see more incentives, but some of the ones they do have I could give as gifts -- my nephews like iTunes and GameStop, so I could cash in some of my points for those, and save me a few dollars at Christmas and for their birthdays. They would be happy with those. Overall, I am happy with eRewards, but like I said, I would like to see more varied rewards to cash in on in the future.

You register to e-rewards from one of the referral companies and that allows you to earn dollars per survey. The only problem is that you cannot encash these for anything except for the miles of the sponsor and they charge the same rate for miles as on their program. I joined this for United and the output was about 750 miles for 50$ so about 750 miles for over 50 surveys. e-poll allows you to earn similar with a third of the effort.

As others have mentioned, some of the surveys are a bit tedious, the reward selection is a bit limited, and you can only trade for the same reward once a year. Personally, I think that most of the reward selections are over-priced or of limited value - like saving a certain dollar amount on purchases at some place but only if you spend a certain amount. I would rather just have a solid savings coupon good regardless of the amount I spend somewhere. However, I exchange my points for hotel rewards and so I just keep accumulating for the year and then exchange for whatever level I've managed to get, which usually is quite high. That also takes care of using the points within the expiration time period.

When I first started completing the survey's I thought I was earning $'s. Error #1. Then after many, many, many survey I found myself at $300 (yes they show your points like $'s) I went to "cash" in for a certificate at J C Penny and found that it was no longer offered. What was basically left were magazine subscription (which I can get for $10-20) and they list them at full price. What a waste of my time. I think in the end if you calculated how much time we put into the survey and how much we were actually paid it would be pennies on the hour. We probably made less then Chinese workers and then found that our paycheck was given in pretty much worthless materials. The other irritation is that you may spend five to ten minutes filling out survey information and then find that you did not qualify. I blame myself for not digging into the details but at the same time it is ridiculous how much you are paid for how much time you spend filling out surveys.

i like Erewards. it's a really good survey website. i recommend this website.

I have been a member of E-rewards for a few years now. The surveys are fine, although they can be tedious at times. In the past, the only rewards that were worth getting were magazine subscriptions...but how many magazines can one person read in a month!? The rewards have gotten much better in the past few months. I just received a $25 iTunes gift card! I would reccomend this site now.

I do earn money at a decent pace, but there hasn't been anything worth redeeming for on this site in years. Horrible selection of incentives and if there's one you find that's ok, you can't redeem it again for more than year. No problems with them besides the poor selection.

In 2012 the quality of incentives has dropped drastically.I dont read mags anymore--too much litter for the garbage--so they go from mailbox to trash. I dont care about hotel or air miles. Ive gotten AE giftcards in the past--they were gone--but dried up the end of 2011. So i find myself with over 70,000 points and nothing to spend them on. Ive emailed and they said they sent my concerns to management.

E-rewards has a well laid out site. No complaints there. My issue is the INCENTIVES. THEY, for lack of a professional adjective, SUCK. No change in selections, the stores they offer discount incentives for involve you spending a lot of money first- for example, you can get 50$ off a purchase at Neiman Marcus Last call, but you have to spend at least 250 dollars FIRST!The magazines are poor choices, they don't change incentives up. I do not not know who the lucky person is who says she can get an American EAGLE g.c Here but you cannot NOW. I'd love to see that! I contacted customer service about my suggestions, but no response from them, and no changes in incentives. Not worth your time.

No surveys and no money!! Just pass on this one!!

I've really no complaints that I can think of. I've cashed out 3-4 times for iTunes gift cards (which you can get once a quarter).

I may be slightly more favorable towards them, since they are an "Invitation Only" panel, therefore it makes me feel a little more validated. They send out a good bit of surveys, maybe 5/month and usually I qualify for at least 4, if not all. Incentives seem pretty awesome, my experience with other panels is they pay very little for very lengthy surveys. These ones are short and sweet with a sizeable reward. I like the fact that you can use your rewards for things like magazines, which I did. No straight cash though, just gift cards, gifts, and big dollar off coupons for stores.

My experience with them has been very negative. They use tactics like inviting you to a survey but not allowing you to finish the entire thing...SEVERAL occasions occurred where I would get 25 or 30 minutes into a survey and then it freezes, bumps me out, and won't allow me to go back in to continue. I emailed their tech people and they said to send a reference code, which is next to impossible to find (I couldn't twice) so I asked them to credit my account or cancel it. They cancelled it with total indifference. What a rotten experience. Worse yet, their rewards are horrible....I used it to keep current on my flight rewards, as that was the only thing I could use them for. (only Delta, there are no partnerships with Aeroplan-linked airlines) I do not recommend this company at all. There are some other really good survey companies out there, like Global Test Market and i-Say - both who pay CASH (real cash) for rewards. I use them both and am delighted every 6 months to get a $50 check.

It's completely legit but it can take time to earn up rewards. If you're into hotel/airline points, the site may work for you. Personally, I don't care for that but they send me gift cards for two of my favorite stores, Macy's and Gamestop. However, the 'point' system is a little silly as it takes "75 dollars" to earn a 25 dollar gift card.

I receive daily emails but I am rarely selected. About 25% are from magazines, which I do not read.

The payouts are either gift cards or frequent mile clubs. The compensation seems great but it is taking a long time to build up a balance.

I joined the beginning of march, 8 months ago, and just redeemed my 2nd $50-level reward. Very cool!

Tried this site on a whim in order to get an American Eagle gift card. At first, I wasn't really trying all that hard, ignoring survey invites to my inbox and such. So it was taking a long long long time to make any money. After a while however, I got invited to do a survey worth $20 and I filled it all out and got the money! From then on, I've been trying each survey, getting accepted into about every 4/5. I have ordered 2 AE gift cards and I can't believe how fast I've gotten them! And they work too! I bought a new pair of jeans with my first and I actually just received my second one today (10/7/11) when I ordered it on the first of October. Now that's fast! I highly recommend this site to anyone who likes magazines and AE. The only downside is that they don't have that many rewards to choose from. I would definitely like to see more gift cards!

I originally receieved an invitation to this Panel from Macy's, so I felt very comfortable with the legitimacy of this site. I usually get 4-5 surveys a week, and qualify for about half of them. It takes a little while to rack up points, but I did recieve my incentive as promised, and within a reasonable amount of time. The only downside I see to this panel is the amount of incentives available. Most are airline points and magazine subscriptions, which I am really not interested in. I do love the option of a Macy's gift card though, and have otherwise had a great experience with this survey Panel. P.S. The more you update your profile, the more offers you seem to get.

Laura on 8/31/2011 has got the key points. E-Rewards is different for everyone. I got Upromise points first and then later Alaska Air miles. I prefer the latter, but on Upromise if you're earning from stores (which is easy) you can cash out your earnings without having to save for college or have kids or whatever.

I like E-Rewards' surveys and they offer you good amounts for those you've qualified for and at least something for ones you didn't.

I find it necessary to point out: 1) This is one of those survey companies that isn't always open to anyone to join. And 2) Everyone who joins isn't joining through the same portal and doesn't end up with the same survey types or rewards!

I have access to GameStop gift cards, which I manage to earn the maximum possible. I get a $25 gift card every quarter and have leftover money in my account usually. Do I wish there were more gift cards to choose from or Amazon? Yes. Can I complain? Not really!

A friend of mine signed up through an airline frequent flier site and gets a lot of business surveys and airline/hotel rewards.

Overall, a very good company with interesting surveys.

I signed up through an incentive from Express (the clothing store), and I spend my e-rewards money on Express gift cards. You can do this twice a year. I got a $25 and a $50 gift card. I buy all my jeans at Express anyway, so this was worth it to me. I got the offer in the first place since I shopped there a lot. Now the rest of the rewards aren't so great, so it really depends. I have found that the rewards add up pretty quickly, especially since they give you $0.25 to a dollar for the surveys you DON'T qualify for and a lot more for the ones you do. For reference, the $50 Express gift card was not $50 in e-rewards money but rather $95. But there are several $7-8 surveys, so it does add up. I also recently got a survey that had me do a "weekly diary" of the candy I ate (which was about none). Took me maybe 30 seconds a day and I got $35 in e-rewards money for it.

I have been a member of E-Rewards since 2007, and I am very satisfied with their magazine rewards. They have an excellent selection of magazines and I always receive the subscriptions, often sooner than promised. Some of the surveys are short and others are quite in-depth, but the amount of the reward corresponds well to the effort required.

I'm usually suspicious of survey panels, especially ones that promise to pay survey takers. Even if you actually do get paid, how do you know if the check is good? Depositing a bad check from a scam can have horrible consequences, including the inability to open a bank account in the future. Forget about making money that never comes, and stick with E-Rewards. They are invitation-only and I'm not sure how I was picked, but if you get invited say yes! You won't get rich, but your mind will be enriched with magazines that actually come as promised.

I started taking surveys for e-rewards back in febuary, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the service. So far i've earned 2, $25 Gamestop gift cards, which is great because I'm a heavy gamer. But, incase that's not your "cup of tea" they have everything from Airline miles to recently added magazine subscriptions, and since i've been a member they've added atleast 2 options. Sometimes you don't qualify for a survey, but so long as you stick to your answers, you'll get offers that more than make up for it. My only issue is that whenever I got close to redemption, I would stop recieving offers. But, as soon as I emailed them about it, they apologized and gave me several offers to cover what I have missed. Totally legit too guys, and NO i'm not being paid to write this review.

The rewards are inadequate for the time spent in the surveys. The rewards that do have value, such as the Zales have limitations on them. Other rewards such as the Macy's ($10 of a $50 purchase) are just not worth the time. The rest are travel related rewards and definitely do not justify the time spent on the survey.

I didn't like it

If you get a request from a place that you like, it's good. I started with GameStop awhile ago and I probably got $150 of gift cards. I like it!

I get send emails for new surveys almost every day.. I joined sometime last year and I already got $15 in Borders Bucks and 2 good Magazine Subscriptions.
which is a total of about $50.
I think it's a great opportunity to get some "free" stuff for answering a couple of questions.
You even get e-rewards bucks if you don't qualify for a survey! AWESOME!

When I can collect just as many airling miles for clicking around on the computer as I can for actually purchasing a ticket and making a trip that is awesome! I have collected 1500 miles so far. Thank you E-rewards.

I have been a member since 2008. I don't really care for the majority of the rewards they offer (i.e. sky miles, hotel points, or discounts off products that I can’t afford even with the discount). At least now they are offering gift cards and that’s great. I always receive a good amount of surveys with high payouts. I accumulate the ‘cash’ fairly quickly and within one years time I have had enough points to purchase every gift card at least once. I use the Borders bucks every year and I also enjoy a few of the magazines. I have even given some subscriptions as gifts. Receipt of the cards and magazines is usually within 2 – 4 weeks. While I would like to see more variety of gift cards, like Amazon or Visa, I still enjoy the site and will most likely remain a member for some time.

I've been doing surveys with this compnay for 4yrs now and have gotten some great magizines and gift cards.Plus my gift card both times(target ones) were sent to me within a week of when i redeemed my reward points.Love IT!!!

I have received 2-3 American Eagle Gifts cards valued at $25.00 each and I have one on the way right now. It takes a few weeks for them to get here but they always do!! I have to redeem $45.00 in erwards currency to get this amount. I feel this is quite fair. I didn't think I was going to get rich quick doing online surveys however I am not overly educated (currently attending College to become educated!!) and do not make a whole lot of money so I appreciate the little extras even if it is only $25.00. However, if I wasn't able to receive American Eagle Gifts cards like some of the others have reported, I likely wouldn't be very interested in many of the other rewards. Thank you!

I have joined them early this year, qualified for some surveys, and thought the incentives were okay. For the last month or two I rarely qualified for surveys, and, when I'd gone to check my account, I only see Upromise rewards. You have to have accumulated $30 to receive $5 added to your Upromise account, $60 to receive $20 at Upromise, or $120 to receive $50 at Upromise. What's up with that? Of the time I spent answering the surveys, I could have been putting towards other surveys or another site that would have better incentives. I don't have kids who go to college, I don't go to college, so why would I need a Upromise account? Don't waste your time with these lousy rewards.

I have been with them for 2 years now. I have received the Gamestop reward several times because I have a teenager that is a Gamer and it comes in handy. I have also received a Maxim and TV Guide subscription through them. I would like to see them come up with some better rewards though.

I am a survey taker for 5 survey companies, and e-rewards, although I do not get as many surveys to complete, actually pays me in rewards more often and quickly than the others. Their surveys are also shorter, easier to do, and add up faster. I never have to buy anything to make the points add up faster.
I just joined at the end of June and this is mid-July and I have already gotten two magazines and a gift card for a bookstore. I feel richly rewarded. There is no monetary reward, but I can save for some great gifts for myself.

i do think they need more incentives and rewards. i do like the gamestop giftcards. i redeemed one back in may and it never got here so i contacted customer support. they responded quickly saying it came back undeliverable and that they needed me to update my address and they will fed ex it to me. the customer support is damn good. overall it's a good survey panel but they need to offer better rewards

I like Erewards. They give you a small incentive to try to qualify for surveys and you collect your awards in the form of gift cards or discounts. The discounts are kind of lame. I've seen coupons with the same discounts, but the giftcards are nice. I always get the $25 Macy's giftcard. I like that it doesn't take long to find out if you qualify for a survey.

i like the site,but i do not like their rewards.its all gift cards for traveling,or magazines no one wants.

I've been with e-rewards for almost 2 years now. At first, I didn't seem to get a lot of surveys but the pace has picked up in the last several months. The problem however is the lack of rewards as others have mentioned. I also do not travel so basically I take the $15 borders card (once a year), $25 gamestop card (4 times a year), and spend the rest on magazines. The magazine list seems to be shrinking and some of them are digital only now. They really need a few more non travel rewards to keep me interested. I would love to see target, walmart, or amazon cards and some better magazines.

It seems just about every survey I get results in an "Unfortunately your responses do not match our selection criteria." OK fine, but don't start with the promise of a $10 survey get 15 questions and 15 minutes into the survey to tell me my results are not important. I don't know how much info they have on my shopping, bills, credit, habits, etc. to not have a good idea about me. As far as I am concerned you either want my opinion or don't. Don't play this maybe game, dangle $7.00 in credit and 10 minutes of questions to tell me I don't qualify and here's 50 cents for your trouble.

Okay I have read all of the bad comments on this site. Seriously if you don't travel DON"T dis a site because you don't do what they give out as rewards.If you like to travel and have the money for it WHY not get help with skymiels or hotel. they are pricey and any help with it is great to me. COming on here and seeing so many bad reviews is so not cool. just because you don't travel or like that its based on travel. Go to other sites then and leave this one alone to the ones who DO love to travel and have the money for it.

I have been with this company for awhile and never used to get a lot of surveys. I get more of them now but like everyone else says the choices for incentives are not good at all unless you travel. I do like that you can get express gift cards but how many of those do you want. Would be more entised to particpate more if there were better options for rewards.

Back in 2008, E-Rewards did an experiment and briefly at the end of the year offered *real* rewards for points. I think I got about $75 in Target gift cards plus a few other things. I was very saddened when I realized this was temporary. The new year began and *poof* - the nice incentives were gone and never returned. :( The best now is a Borders gift card you can only get once a year and some magazine subscriptions (but they don't have much of a selection). The other rewards are coupons you can get for free. I haven't left because I keep hoping they'll offer real rewards again or a better magazine selection. I don't travel, so airline points and hotel points don't mean much for me. Very disappointing. :(

I never "qualified" to ever complete a survey aside from the very first one. They obtain alot of valuable consumer information and then claim you are not a match or survey is full. If the survey was genuinely full, no pre-screening information should have been obtained! FRAUD ALERT! Don't make them rich for free!!!!

I found out that you can sign up for eRewards through Upromise and earn money to add to your Upromise account. I have Upromise set up for each of my kids, and to help pay off my student loans with SallieMae, so it's DEFINITELY worth it. You get a small amount of points even if you don't qualify for the survey, so you're always earning something, and even if it takes me a while to earn, it's for doing next to nothing.

Initially it was fun to do the surveys and rack up the points but lately I just ignore any surveys I get.

Reason being the rewards never change and currently I have $200.15 in my balance and nothing to use it on. I don't travel so Sky-miles are useless. As others mentioned no way I'm paying for a coupon when they can be found for free and the same magazine subscriptions that rarely change and I have no desire for them.

Would be nice to have an option like an Amazon gift card like other sites I use but as it stands with bad rewards I can not recommend this site to anyone.

This site isn't any good for cash. But if your a person like me that loves to travel, they are good for points to Hotel rewards and airline rewards. I usually get the Hotel points rewards. I have actually got a couple free hotel nights stay at Hilton, using E-rewards!

Like I said before, If you looking for money only, don't bother with E-rewards, but for Hotel, airlines and other stuff it is good for that

The only thing I find thats really worth it is the delta points I've earned over 10 thousand points so far thats equals $280.00 on the delta web site if I where to buy them, also they now put the miles in your account instantly it used to take a couple of weeks so thats really great.

Coupons? I'm taking surveys for coupons?
No, I think I'll pass.

Most of their rewards are for points or discounts which I don't like but once a year or so I cash out & use my points to get two free used DVD's at Blockbuster. They have a great selection of current used DVD's. That makes it worthwhile for me.

I used to love E-rewards for the Delta points, but lately their screener surveys have been excessively long, and then I found out I didn't qualify for the actual survey. The last screener that I completed was about 15 minutes. I got to the end of it and it wanted me to join some kitchen discussion group and contribute at least once a week, it said that my answer would not affect my E-rewards compensation, yet as soon as I clicked the button that said I would not join the discussion group, it said that I was not eligible for the full survey. I ended up getting basically nothing for a considerable amount of time. Very frustrating!

The only incentives here are discount coupons for their SPONSOR's. If your looking for cash incentives, this is not the place. Stay away from them. Not worth your time here.

I use the rewards for Delta Skymiles. You have to work at it but the miles do count up and recently the rewards have become greater. I really like e-rewards. The site works great and I have never had any problem redeeming the miles.

I have been with e-rewards for a couple years now. I have put my points into my hiltonhonors account and recently got a gift card for $150.00 or a free night. so it can be done, takes a while and you have to know what you are doing.

I do the surveys for my Upromise act only , too me that is really worth while instead of getting small amount of pocket money that basicly gets lost in the mix anyway

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!
