E-rewards: got invited via Accor, participated, got to about 25,000 e-reward points..

[AustraliaPoochie]

Thats where I get the message that no suitable surveys comes up (under my Accor tie in).
If I was that way inclined, and didn't have anything else better to do, I guess I could just go to VFF and see about starting from scratch with e-Rewards with them, ie, VFF.

Just did the most wide-ranging (and probably most interesting) survey I've ever encountered, touching on Australia Day, indigenous issues, the constitution & referendums, dual citizenship, company tax cuts, Adani, the environment, emissions targets, renewables, repairing various items, warranties, Canberra, and more.

do u log on to e-rewards as I log on daily and I get survey daily

As recommended a few times in this thread previously, I bookmark the links from the survey emails and click on old ones everyday. This usually yields between 5-10 surveys daily.

When you are on about survey #18 and things are starting to get silly

Interesting survey by the tobacco lobby.

That survey had a notable focus on illegal tobacco and related issues, and there's an interesting SMH article today:-

Are cigarettes the underworld's Bitcoin - Sydney Morning Herald

Has anybody had the same experience as me in recent times? I haven't done that many surveys recently but 4 of them had technical issues (well into the survey) that crash and you can't get back. And I've had 2 surveys get to 90 or so % only to then get screened out. I've noted my concerns to the e-Reward team who have on the ones they've investigated credited me the lost points, so kudos to them.

Just seems strange the frequency of problems has gone from barely any to quite frequently in the past week.

Haven't had either of those problems, though have had a few that fail at the outset and can't be resumed or closed. But they usually auto-expire within 24 hours anyway.

Recently I couldn't do any surveys while overseas and the surveys all but dried up when I got back. Fortunately they gradually picked up again over time, though it'll be a while before I'm back to where I was. And I'll have to subject myself to some painful surveys in the meantime.

There have been a few recently on upcoming movie trailers, which I like watching but the survey itself is pretty bad and way too long.

Strategic Aviation, I did a similar survey to the Australia Day one. You are right, it was definitely one of the more interesting surveys. Every now and then I get one about travel, which I love. But my pet peeve is answering 100 questions about a product and THEN being told my responses do not meet the criteria. Happens almost one in five.

On another note: does anyone ever get asked if their kid can finish the survey? I am often prompted to see if my 14 year old son would like to partake. I allowed him once, but he said it was lame - (I sat and observed carefully as he completed it, so lower your hands everyone...) Anyway, the last time I was asked, I pretended to be him and they booted me before the survey started. So I covered the webcam on my laptop and guess what? I got through to the end.

Anyone? Anyone?

Ive pretended to be the household kid to complete the survey. Felt creepy but it was a big point survey.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

I am so over this Malarkey now.
No email offers from e Rewards, and always no suitable surveys.
I am now spending money on buying food at Coles and getting VFF SC plus VFF points.
At least food I can eat, and also VFF SC are more important than this survey bloo.
Just booked using VFF points from FB for a flight ADL - MEL.

 

[clipped_wings]

But they tease me with a balance of 5700 points! I HAVE to keep going...........

Travel/flying ones can be good but it depends on the survey. Some of them are so long and tedious they suck the will to live out of you.

One-and-done surveys are great. They might have a couple of screening questions, then a single topical question and the survey's complete. Last one asked how likely you are to hire a car in the next six months and that was it.

Haven't experienced that with eRewards. Used to happen way too much with Red Planet but they seem to have fixed it.

yes I don't like answer 100 questions and then get thrown out for 25 pts.
Did a long one the other day, videos and such and malfunctioned right at the end.

Must remember to be the house kid next time.!!!

I can rip through them very fast.

Just got one of those for the first time. Progressed past the screening questions but got ejected anyway.

It appeared identical to the other movie trailer surveys I've had recently.

I got a Velocity Frequent Flyer survey once. It was so relevant to me, I almost cried.

 

[Denali]

This got a WTF from me, because I consider doing surveys as work/time consuming.

I had the same survey but for booking.com, wierd but so weird you could answer anything?

 

[Strategic Aviation]

Yes, you could just click anything and get through it quickly.

Hope no one paid those guys for "business insights" ...

Just had a one-click survey asking how interested you are in the FIFA World Cup. Not a single screening question before or after
