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).

I've had nothing but great experiences

September 17, 2010 by Kristen from United States

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.

Not bad

September 17, 2010 by m from United States

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

Not All Qualify Really Hurts

September 17, 2010 by LEONARD from United States

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.

Helpful Advice

October 20, 2022 by Mark from United States

This is an updated review from one I gave in summer of 2021.

E-rewards continues to be a worthwhile site as long as the members keep honesty and patience close by.

For users who feel burnt by getting locked out as you were piling up those points- remember, panel currency belongs to the provider, not the end user. Realization of that will save many future one star reviewers heartache. There is no reason, at all, ever, ever, ever to have more panel currency in your account than what's needed for the highest possible reward. That's ~145.00 for a starbucks giftcard in panel currency as of my records in Oct 2022.

For responsible go-getters, each survey session consists of 15 surveys to take, resetting after around 12 hours. Set a target reward, take note of redemption limitations and cash in as soon as you hit the mark.

Don't mess with E-rewards, they pay money to get answers for clients who pay them first so they necessarily have to take inconsistencies seriously.

I respect them for what they are and what they allow me to accomplish. When the day comes that if/when account gets flagged, I will bid them thank you for the good times and shake the dust off my feet.

One key benefit with E-Rewards, as well as their sister site Guest Opinion Rewards Panel, is that you receive panel credit with EVERY disqualification. Not every panel is generous in that sense. Time may be wasted with a later than expected disqualification but users should recognize that admission in any survey here is guaranteed income.

It helps to pay attention to the redemption limits that every reward carries with it. All airlines are once a month, most hotels are once a quarter, and most gift cards are once every 6 months, although a few are once a month. Consider this before you go in gung-ho and build up a hefty amount of reward money but nothing to spend it on. I have found that choice privileges is suitable for me, as they have no redemption limit as of 2022.

Other advice I can think of- never deviate from your personal information. Never speed thru. They do keep track of that. The next time you come to complain about a late disqualification they will look into your account and ban you.

These sites buy the gift cards/points from partners and sell them to you for your time in giving your opinion. Your opinion is payed for by a third party entity that wants some question solved. Remember that the origin of debt here resides with some honest company trying to garner research on a consumer taste or product that they'd like to introduce to the real world markets. Don't fool around with this because the panel site is responsible for every answer they turn in to the company paying them in the first place. Just my two cents-but I have been very successful (so far) on this site.

Airmiles

August 3, 2020 by Dennis from Canada

They were great until they removed the reward of airmiles. I have used this survey place for quite a long time and always rewarded myself with airmiles, now they got nothing I need and they won't respond to my email.
