I have $2.70 after 2 weeks, not getting very many surveys over here.

Becuase you're likely in line for more than 1 survey, and depending on your answers, you'll get moved into whatever survey needs more data. Plus, if they tell you what they want you to say, it'll compromise the data, won't it?

As stated, no one'll know if you lie- if it bothers you that much, do it! My fiance always lies- he once got a survey asking which pay-per-view shows he watched... he clicked everything and ended up in a survey about porn. It was damn funny.

I emailed them about taking a 40 minute survey and getting only $0.50. They emailed me back and credited my account $20.

Nice

I mean I really do little outside of working and playing games so I can't honestly do any surveys relating to movies, eating out, cell phone service, the majority of TV shows, purchasing brand name goods, and probably all the things they'll poll me on. I was hoping to get surveys allowing me to complain about these things but by the time I answer 3 or 4 questions I get my 25 cents and it's over.

My fiance usually didn't get booted from surveys- when presented with a list of 'have you done this?' he clicked everything. He always picked the highest income bracket available. Basically, act like you're flithy rich with nothing better to do than fritter your money away on random crap and you should be good for most.

I remember one annoying survey for me, though-
'thanks for doing this, click to proceed.' *click*
'Your survey will take X amount of time. Click to proceed.'*click*
'Don't use your browser buttons, use ours. Click to proceed.' *click*
'OK- male or female?' *click female*
'Sorry, you don't qualify!'

That kinda made me mad- stupid annoying instruction clicks...

I took one about cellphones the other day. One of the questions was like: "If the following cellphone brands turned into a real person, which would you most like to hang out with?" What the hell are you talking about?

I have been using e-rewards since I was also sent there by gamestop. I figured, "why not?" Anyway, I have only received 2 GS gift cards. I don't lie because I don't want to ruin it for everyone else. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not. You will run into the occasional survey which asks you for 5-10 minutes of answering questions before telling you that you do not qualify (though we can all assume they keep those responses for their survey anyway).

Whether it's worth it or not will depend on what companies need survey's done and what demographics you fit into. Chances are, if you're a white male under 25 making under 20k a year without a college degree or fancy job, your survey selection will be more limited. If you are a minority female over 30 making $100k a year with a post-grad degree and you're a CEO of a company, you'll probably get requests for surveys every day. In all honesty, I get 5 or 6 requests per week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Most surveys are only a couple $s IF you qualify, but others can be as high as $15 or $20.

The one thing I do not like is the dollar system. It seems like the GS gift card is the only one that requires you earn $50 before you can trade for $25. To me though, I can do these surveys while I watch some TV or doing nothing, so it's worth it. Takes a while to get the gift card. I have also ordered magazines and a few other things, but the prize selection sucks. I'm hoping that they add to it as time goes on, like maybe some tangible items, but it's okay. Certainly adds up quicker than Club Bing.

Lol, some of the questions can be out there from time to time. The ones I hate are the ones that leave you no option to be honest about your answer. You either Love something or you are indifferent. How about, "I hate this product" or "I hate the advertising" etc.

My best survey was from the other day. $20 to watch a pilot of a show called Edward Floats. It was a fun pilot. I watched another pilot, and it made me watch the whole figgin thing to tell me that I didn't qualify. The pilot was okay (family sitcom, so/so), so it wasn't the worst, but it should have asked me the questions BEFORE the pilot. That's how they get you sometimes though!

I feel their customer service is excellent. Two times they had trouble delivering my GS gift card. Then overnighted them by FedEx.

Wow, did not know they did this.

I didn't know this either, until I did it.

You can't really be sure what's going to boot you... use your gut to try and tell which questions are trying to boot people and which are trying to gather them, and hope for the best.

I just answer honestly... it's damn slow going at first, but the longer and more consistent you are, the more surveys you'l start to get.

There are weeks where I average 2 surveys a day and other times I wont get a survey for a couple weeks. Go figure.

The surveys credit for higher amounts on e-rewards than on other sites, so while you may get less surveys and less credit the dollar amounts will be higher. I have yet to see a points or survey freebie site that has survey's that credit for more than 1$ each for the same type of survey offered by e-rewards. Your basically doing less work for more money with e-rewards (this is good!) however the only thing I want from them is GS giftcards.

Partial credits will add up quickly too, so always do every survey that comes into your mailbox.

after reading about mer71's email, i also emailed them about a similar situation (took a survey that ended up taking close to an hour since it involved watching a tv pilot, only got about $1 in the end) and the rep also added credit to my account. the thing is, in my account history it now has two $11.50 additions (so a total of $23) but my account was only credit $11.50..wondering if i should email again or just leave it at that

I checked them out on the Better Business Bureau website before signing up - they have a good rating.

I've only earned $18 so far, but I've only been signed up for a few weeks.

Dammit, I just goofed up on a $47 surgeon survey. I guess spending 65% of my time treating patients isn't enough.

I emailed them as well, $1.50 partial credit on a tv survey doesn't cut it

Got credited $20 for the one I mentioned I got 1.50 for I had another TV survey where I spent about 30 mins watching and another 20 answering questions and I got 0.50 I want to email them again but I dont want to push my luck

I've been getting only partial credit for a lot of surveys lately as I apparently don't meet the criteria for them, today I took another one and laughed to myself thinking "Watch, I probably won't even get past the enter your age part this time." Apparently I'm psychic. :/
