Issues with e-Rewards?

[richinspirits]

Any e-Rewards users here? I love the site to earn a few gift cards every month and minimize household expenses, but for over a week now there have been no surveys available and I can’t redeem my existing credit for a reward. Does anyone have any Intel? I will be so sad if it just vanished…

Rich - I have no experience with e-Rewards. BUT, I find that a lot of apps don't have consistent opportunities. One possible explanation for this is the app doesn't have the business. So, you might consider looking for alternatives. Here are some that I'm using:

1. Qmee
2. Google Opinion Rewards
3. Streetbees
4. CitizenMe
5. OnePulse
6. BIGToken
7. CuriousCat
8. Facebook Viewpoints

Thanks for the list! I did sign up for CitizenMe based on a previous post of yours and it is a good way to earn a few bucks here and there. I have been on e-Rewards for maybe a decade or so, and have never seen a total lack of surveys. And the inability to redeem points for rewards doesn't bode well. Just curious if anyone else used the site and had any information or was having the same experience. I will check out the other sites you mention, too.

How much were you making with it?

Nothing crazy, but I’d reliably get usually 2000 Southwest points and a couple of $25 gift cards per month. And I’d periodically get hooked up with product testing/free stuff, focus groups, etc.

Oh, that's actually really good. Why hasn't that app come up in any of the major cash back lists?

Do you mean on this site? I'm pretty sure this is where I found out about it years back. But they may not have been accepting new folks for a while.

R-Rewards doesn't show up in any of the lists I've looked at in Reddit, or in any of blogs I've read. Soo.....I guess its just a sleeper hit.

I used e-Rewards for a while maybe a decade back, but fell off from it years ago because I found it a pain in the butt to work through. Too many emails, too many pop-ups, not enough rewards to make it worth my time. Perhaps that has changed over time.

Well, not sure what was up, but I had sent a message about a week ago asking what was up, and got a response last night that the issue with my account has been resolved! So my points will live another day. I would send a referral link, but it says that the site is not accepting new members at this time.

[james.hendrickson]

No new members is a red flag for the sites long term sustainability.

What other money making apps are you using?
