Payment and Rewards

Earn e-Rewards

Earn Opinion Points/e-Rewards currency for taking surveys. Exchange your points for gift cards, magazine subscriptions, hotel reward points, and airline points. Choose from over 30 different retailers to redeem gift cards with, including Best Buy, CVS Pharmacy, Walmart, Macy's and more. You may redeem a gift card only once per quarter with most gift card options.

Prizes

e-Rewards can also be redeemed towards prizes. Many prizes come in the form of discounts towards purchasing products and services they provide.

Redeem Your e-Rewards Currency

In most cases, your account will be credited as soon as you complete a survey. However, in some cases the credit may take up to 7 days to appear on your account. Similarly, e-Rewards sends most electronic gift cards immediately upon request (within one hour). Most physical gift cards will be sent out within 4-6 weeks of redemption.

e-Rewards also requires mobile and landline verification in order to redeem your rewards. This verification helps you keep your rewards secure. For data security, they will need to verify your account with a valid US mobile or landline number in order to redeem your reward. Once you provide your number, you will receive a verification code via that number that you will need to enter in order to finalize the redemption process.

You can redeem your e-Rewards Currency/Opinion Points as soon as you accumulate enough to qualify for the reward you desire (the lowest gift card option is $10).

Untrustworthy

July 9, 2020 by Michael from United States

Be aware they will change their rules and lock you out, without letting you cash in the rewards you've already earned. Here's a direct quote from them when they suddenly decided my google voice number was insufficient to confirm my identity:

"We understand that the issue is quite frustrating on your end but as part of our account security, our system will not allow VOIP or Google numbers to be used for account verification. Sadly, there's currently no process to override this type of restriction aside from using a different number that is valid."

Worth Zero Stars

July 7, 2020 by Lise K. from United States

I joined E-rewards in the last year or so and it was easy to quality and rack up a good amount of points quickly. So, a couple weeks or more ago, I attempted to cash in my points for gift cards and that's when the problems began. I was getting an error message saying they required a "real" cell phone number to send the confirmation code to. Well, we went around and around before I figured out (with very little help from their tech support/customer service) that they meant my cell phone wasn't real to them because it uses VOIP. And, unlike pretty much every other survey site that I know of, they do not offer any other means to receive their codes (like email). There was nothing about this when I joined, and it should really be front and center in BOLD letters that there is ONE WAY and ONLY one way to redeem points at E-rewards, They have wasted my valuable and limited time, and effectively stolen over $82 from me that they will not make up to me. Make sure if you join this site, you do NOT use VOIP, and don't expect much if you have to contact them.

Deactivated Account

July 4, 2020 by Janet from United States

I've been an E-Rewards panel member since November 2008. I was invited at the beginning from my Delta Sky Miles account. I thought hey, a great way to earn some extra gift cards and give my opinion on products and services.

Have completed hundreds of surveys. Some very long, some very short. I always took my time with them. Never once, gave silly answers or rushed through them.

Once the site and company was taken over by Dynata, things changed. I noticed at the beginning of the year, the site would go down for days. Sometimes a week with no surveys.

I'd email customer service, I'd get some vague answer about clearing your cache and cookies. Always did that. Never changed anything. I would never get an email confirming my account was back up, I would just log on and I'd be doing surveys again.

Now this time was different. I knew something was up. I tried to redeem a reward. Got an error code. I didn't redeem the reward too soon, I waited for the allotted time between. Nothing.

So I email customer again.

I got the dear John letter that my account was deactivated. I was told I could only have one account. (Who has time for 2 accounts and how you could remember a new person?). And that my attentiveness and inaccuracies caused them to flag my account. And it's now deactivated.

I've got around $40 in my account that they're just going to take. For no reason.

They're either not telling me the truth or I'm no longer a desired demographic or they're going out of business.

I guess it doesn't matter.

This is a deceitful, underhanded, sneaky way of doing business.

Shame on you E-Rewards. I guess you needed that money more than I did.

waste of your time

June 21, 2020 by frank from United States

This place sucks and rips people off, constant problems with credit and tech issues and hard to contact and when you do it is BS and your fault that the survey gave you no credit or shut down in the middle of your 30 survey.

Suspended with reason

June 19, 2020 by Julie from United States

They’ve stopped sending surveys and have suspended my account for no reason. I had been a member for over 10 years. Find a better site, this one is a waste of time.
