e-Rewards Reviews

Phillip   Portland OR

After using e-Rewards for a couple of years and being happy with the premiums available, e.g. iTunes gift cards, they have pulled all of the "good" premiums and left worthless options like frequent flyer miles for KLM (worthless because the miles don't extend the expiration of your account.

Overall, e-Rewards is good for earning a couple of gift cards, but after that they are worthless and a complete waste of time.

They recently had a survey that asked for my phone number then immediately quit. Since that moment I've received countless text messages about gift cards from a variety of phone numbers that don't accept calls. I wrote to E-Rewards about it twice but they don't reply. I've made it more than 50% through DOZENS of surveys and then they quit, giving me a meager $.25 credit instead of what was promised. Don't waste your time on this scam.

I have been a member for about a year; I answer surveys whenever they are sent. Sometimes I only get 25 cents for responding, because I am not in the demographic they are looking for at that time. I have, though, earned as much as $15 for a survey. I even participated in one survey they sent me a product to try and respond to questions on the product. When the reward amount did not show up in my account for that particular survey after 10 days or so, I e-mailed them and it appeared in my account soon after. So far, they have done everything they have said they were going to do for me. I recently cashed in my $$ for a $50 Starbucks card; it arrived within a week. I am now starting on my next accumulation of $$; while a lot of the rewards are not my cup of tea, I am sure I can find something I would like to try, and it won't actually be money out of my pocket, so to speak. I saw some magazines I wouldn't mind trying, but would not spend regular money out of my own pocket.

I've been with e-rewards for around a year and racked up enough points to get an Express gift card. I applied for it back in November and the "cash" was deducted from my account. Fast forward two months and there was still no reward to be found. I email the company and have a polite back and forth with an employee who promises me that he will resend the card with priority mail that will require a signature. That was back in January and it is almost April, yet here I am still without that reward. I decided to stop using the site after the first incident because I didn't see a reason to continue wasting time on something that wouldn't benefit me. And I still haven't because e-rewards hasn't shown themselves to be a trustworthy company, in my experience.

I have been a member for about 3 years, and I get a $50 Express gift card every quarter. I only use the program for that, so I hope it does not go away! I have received over $500 in Express gift cards already:)

Ive been with them for a few months and I just cashed in my points for a $25 starbucks gift card. It said it would arrive in 4 weeks but it came within a few days :) I was really surprised because I thought it might have been a scam.

I started using e rewards 3 weeks ago and it has been okay. The problems I have had with e rewards is that they credit me less than they say they are and they currently owe me 25$ on a 3 part survey that required me to take pictures while shopping, cooking etc. It was a longer survey so it suxs they didnt credit me. I have emailed them 3 times with no response. :(

I have been amember of E-Rewards for several years and rate the site a a Solid B- to say the least.
While the surveys seem top notch I think some of their "rewards" leave one wondering. A majority of their rewards seem designed for those who travel by air. There never has been, as far as I know, any rewards for Greyhound or Amtrack or those who prefer to travel by land.
In regards to their other rewards they seem truly high end as rewards for Macy and Neiman Marcus.
For this rewards program to grow it needs to have more rewards geared to the middle to lowincome people as well as those who do not fly the friendly skies. As well they need far better rewards for those who simply want gift cards in 2012.
Altogether E-Rewards is a good program and worth doing the surveys. One needs to simply be patient when it comes to the rewards.

You've got to look at e-rewards as a fun, stimulating exercise that allows you to express your opinions. NOTHING MORE.

The "rewards" are inconsequential. Nobody's going to make a living on these surveys. But who cares?

I enjoyed e rewards. I get lots of surveys-often TOO many- and have gotten 4 $50 Target gift cards. Problem is...I see they no longer offer Target gift cards. That was the only reason I was doing them and there is currently nothing I want that they offer. Thus...I will be done with them.

I've used this site for about four years and used to get some decent rewards, such as gift cards. Those have disappeared and all that's offered are periodicals, reward miles, and dollars off when spending money (the latter being useless to me).

I stopped taking the surveys for almost a year, came back and started encountering a familiar situation where I'm many answers into the survey (over 20 or 30) only to be told late that I suddenly don't qualify (usually due to zip code or age).

I plan to take a few more surveys to get to a certain reward level and then stop participating.

I just spoke to someone at E-Rewards and they are aware that their server is down. They are working to get it back up and running. I love ERewards. I am a homemaker with free time on my hands.

I have used this site for a while. I was only able to get a gift cards for Ebgames/Gamestop stores, other than magazine subscriptions and other such items. However today, I can't even get the website to come up. I have never seen I-Tunes gift cards or Target gift cards offered myself.

It was okay for a while and then I tried to do a survey they sent yesterday and it only went to a search page that you get for suggestions. I even tried the links in the search pages ie Bing and Yahoo and got the same return to a search page. Maybe they went bankrupt and didn't tell anyone. I was doing the cashing in to UPROMISE program. Guess there was too big of a response.

As an occasional survey taker (not using this as any source of income), I think erewards does a pretty good job. Now that they've added the fact that you can convert earned $$ to miles ($25 rewards dollars to 500 miles), I've been more keen on taking more surveys. I've already gotten one deposit of 500 miles. In the past I also received some gift certificates for various websites and was pretty pleased. The only negative thing is that I don't end up qualifying for many of their surveys, so that only earns me $0.25 or $0.50.

My wife and I have been using E-rewards for years and never had any problems. We've always received our rewards (Gamestop gift cards for me), and they pay out for the surveys are pretty decent.

I have been using E-Rewards for the past 2-3 years to accumulate airline award miles. It works great!

Edward   Los Angeles

Complete scam. Thought it's partnership with UPromise ensured it was legit. Spent hours completing surveys and was never credited any money to pay off my student debt.

DONT USE THIS SITE! DONT EVEN CONSIDER IT!

WARNING: This site delivers the goods for the first year or so, but then yanks all the "good stuff" and leaves you with just magazine subscriptions and frequent flier miles for reward choices. I thought they had dropped the iTunes and other gift cards, but other users apparently are still offered them. I emailed customer service and never got a reply. Apparently they watch what you choose for redemptions and then pull that option from your account—you're left with reward money and no longer anything to redeem it for.

I don't know what happened. I joined a couple of years ago and they asked me to renew to keep going. I had over $500 in credit and finally used them for Target and Itunes gift cards. I got back to $100 in my account and they stop sending surveys Jan 2012. I tried to log in to check my account and it did not recognize me. I emailed E-Rewards and they could not find me in the system. I guess after using $500 they deactivate your account. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
