Our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions are available online for you to review at your leisure.

How do I receive surveys?

We will always email you if there is a new survey or profiling questionnaire to take. Please ensure that your email provider is not blocking emails from e-Rewards Medical. You can also see your available surveys when you log in to your Member Profile.

Your chance to be invited to a survey depends on a number of factors, such as the amount and type of surveys we are conducting at a time and the amount of profiling information we have for you. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information.

Our email always includes "@e-Rewardsmedical.net" or "@e-Rewardsmedical.com" in the from address. If you are not sure that the email you received is from e-Rewards Medical, please contact our Member Support Team .

How long does it take to complete a survey?

Each survey we send you will vary in length, but will typically take less than 20 minutes to complete. Your survey invitation will tell you how long each survey should take and how long you will have to respond.

Why do you ask me the same questions in different surveys?

Personal demographic and profile data regarding our Members is only shared with our clients on a singular or aggregate basis. Our surveys describe the profile and demographics data of an e-Rewards Medical Member, or group of Members, without specifically identifying an individual Member. Therefore, when our research clients want this type of data, they must ask you to provide it to them directly. This is why you will be asked the same or similar questions in different surveys.

Can I change my response If I select the wrong answer?

Unfortunately, once you submit an answer on a survey, you cannot change it. We do this to protect the integrity and accuracy of the data we collect.

How do you get in the survey once you go to the Home page?

If you are unable to gain access to your survey, please try the following:

Copy and paste the link from your invitation into the browser address bar and press enter. This will take you directly to the correct page. Please ensure you copy the entire web address into the browser as sometimes the link can spread over two lines.

We recommend that you use the latest version of popular browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox to take your surveys as some older browsers may not be compatible.

Why didn't I qualify for the survey?

You may not qualify for a survey for a number of different reasons, based on demographic criteria, qualifications or area of expertise. We make sure that we place questions that could disqualify our members at the very beginning of the survey, so your valuable time is not wasted.

We highly recommend that you keep your profile up to date, as this will increase your chances of getting invited to surveys that are most appropriate for you and reduce the number of survey disqualifications.

Please note: We will not pass on any of the information you have given to us in the course of uncompleted surveys to our clients.

Why is the survey now closed?

The majority of surveys are open for a few days. However, some surveys are more popular than others and close quickly if the quota is reached sooner than the proposed deadline. Our system automatically closes the survey once the desired number of respondents has been reached.

We always try to limit the number of invites we send so that the members we do invite have a higher chance of completing the survey.

Why am I receiving survey invitations if I’m not a e-Rewards Medical Member?

Will my earnings through E-Rewards Medical be taxed?

If your accumulated earnings in a calendar year exceed $599, we are required to provide Form 1099-MISC to you and the Internal Revenue Service with your total earnings for the year.

Will I always be rewarded for taking part in research?

Yes. If you qualify for and complete a survey, you will be rewarded.

However, if we identify that a respondent is not honest in his/her approach to research, for example by providing meaningless answers or trying to do multiple completions of the same survey, we cannot reward them. This occurs very rarely and is only used as a means to stop the few dishonest people from spoiling the opportunity for everyone else.
