[ANALYSIS] E-Rewards
I have been filling out surveys for years and I find the rewards I earn so valuable. My favourite program, hands down, is the E-Rewards program because of all the different rewards available to me. We previously updated the list of rewards to choose from. Today will be more of an in-depth analysis about the rewards.
Joining e-Rewards is free and it used to be that anyone can sign up, but now it is by invitation only, making the program that much more valuable. To receive an invitation, you will need to provide your email address to one of E-Rewards’ sponsor companies to receive an invitation.
Below is a list of sponsors. Each sponsor gives a reward in exchange for E-Rewards dollars. The available rewards differ depending on which country you live in. There have been a few new programs added to the list. I have a Canadian account, so my account shows the follow transfer partners (we have also showed the amount of E-Rewards $ needed to convert to receive your reward):

My strategy with my E-rewards dollars has continually changed over time. Currently, I see a lot of value when transferring the British Airways Executive Club program because I like the Oneworld alliance partners.
As you can see, what is great about E-Rewards is the flexibility of so many different partners. See what works for you and go for it! What I also find useful is that some loyalty accounts need activity after a certain period of time, so this is a great way to keep your accounts active.
