Get Free Rewards and Gifts at E-Rewards.com

Would you like 6 months of free movie rentals at Blockbuster store throughout the Country. How about $15 to spend at Borders Book Shops? You may want to add free frequent flyer millage to your American Airlines, US Airways, Delta Airlines card or points to add to your Hilton Honors card. You can get cash rewards and discounts to use at Sony, Zales Jewelers, Pier 1 and many other partners.

If you are interested, you can get all these things by joining e-Rewards an online survey firm which I have been a member of for over 3 years. Go to http://www.e-rewards.com/ - Enter basic demographic information when you register. They have a strict privacy policy and do not distribute this information to clients or anyone else. After you have registered, e-Rewards will send you periodic Emails with imbedded links to online surveys. They will tell you the e-Reward dollars you will get for each survey and the approximate time it will take to complete the survey. The time range per survey is 3 to 20 minutes.

It is totally up to you to either take the survey or pass on it. Rewards vary from $5 to $30 e-Reward dollars. If you start a survey but do not qualify to continue based on the first few answers to the questions you will be given a smaller amount of e-Reward dollars as compensation. I generally make about $600 e-Reward dollars per year. If I wanted to do more surveys I could easily double or triple this amount.

You can cash in your e-Reward dollars at any time. Some rewards allow you to redeem once a year, some 4 times a year. I generally like to get the Hilton Honors Points rewards in which you can redeem $50 e-Reward dollars for 3,000 Hilton Honor Points. I do this 4 times a year which nets me 12,000 Hilton Honor points. This is about the same number of points you would get if you stayed in a Hilton Hotel for about a week. See my article "Wonderful Things Free With Your Hilton Honors Credit Card".

I also love the Borders Books $15 card. This is only available once a year but you can use it the same as money for any Borders book or music purchase. I am hoping they increase this reward in the future. The $15 reward at Borders cost only $15 e-Reward dollars.

For $25 e-Reward dollars you can get 6 free DVD or VHS rentals for free at Blockbuster. This also is a one per year reward.

The majority of my remaining rewards go to purchase frequent flyer miles at United Airways, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Continental, Northwest Airlines, and Flying Blue. Generally you can purchase about 2,000 miles for each airlines Frequent Flyer Program for $100 e-Reward dollars. These added miles really add up over time. If you use these rewards in conjunction with airlines credit cards you can get free flights without ever actually flying those airlines.

Other gifts include free magazine subscriptions, free flowers, discounts on Zales Jewelry, Pier1 stores, Snowbird Ski Resorts, restaurants and even wholesale meat distributers. Additional partners are continually added to the list of rewards available.

Whenever you join something online you have to worry about several things. Privacy of information is always a big concern. Timeliness of delivery of rewards when requested is another. Customer service quality is a concern. I have been an active participant on e-Rewards.com for over three years and can say that the quality of their on-line site and customer service, care for the privacy of your data and professional attitude are highly respected by the e-Reward people. They have won my trust and my regard for them as a dependable company, which I feel I can recommend to you.

    I have been a member of e-rewards for years. The only complaint is after completeing a survey you are asked to participate in another survey for $10.00. I have taken 2 of these for $10.00 each additional and never recieved either bonus. Plus this last magazine I spent points on, I still have not recieved. How can I get credit. E-Rewards.com is a great way to get popular magazines at no price, well that is when you get the magazines....

    http://www.e-rewards.com/memberservices.do is their member services page. Under account information is How To Change E-Mail adresses. Hopefully that will get you back on. I'm not sure if it has a move points section, but it should. Good luck, Steve

    I have $18.41 with e-rewards right now. My old e-mail address was rscraven41@peoplepc.com and my new e-mail address is rscraven@embarqmail.com. I have not received any survey offers in a long time and enjoy doing the surveys and the rewards. I don't want to loose what rewards I have. Please help me. Thank you!

    Diane, I have gotten two E-rewards on my Border's Account which worked fine. I think your problem may be with that store. Good luck getting it straightend out. Mister Secret, you can go into your Erewards profile and set it to get surveys more often.

    I dont like e-rewards because it takes to much time to get $50.00 that I need I am like in 47.00 to 48.00 and they dont give me more surveys that is why I don't like it.

    To Whom this Does concern!!!

    What has happened to Borders rewards? I have been a member for along time. I have never seen such a mess to fiind out your reward
    points. Listen I use to think you were a good Book store. Now I am beginning to wonder. Why or Why are you not delivering the just rewards given back to your long time customers. I was a customer of yours before you ever got the store you are now in. Pooie on the Dayton Mall. You should still treat your customers better. I know I am entittled to rewards and discounts at your store regardless of where you are, Please treat me better. I want iit back to the careing people who took an interest in its customers again. Come on Get with US your customers again. Stop being snootie and greedy. Get Human again. Remember customers Long time ones come first.

    Sincerely and Honestly!!!!!!!!!!! DLMSDIANE51@woh.rr.com

    If you haven't gotten a survey in a while, one of two things happened. 1) You are no longer in the demographics they want, such as unemployed, retired, or too old. Or 2) you did not fill in the continuation survey they sent out several months ago. They said they would remove all people who didn't fill in the survey. You may have to reregister or try to contact customer service. Steve

    I use e-rewards and like it... it's linked to Upromise. I can't figure out how to get other rewards aside from Upromise. I think it's hardwired.

  • Ann Finch/ telitha@bellsouth.net 4/23/2008

  • Laurie2/17/2008
