I joined when this site was EmailCash, around 10 years ago. Since then, it has gotten much more difficult to earn any rewards and recently I've been feeling pretty cheated having put in several minutes completing surveys only to be redirected back to the site with a "sorry, there are no surveys for you" message. They take your opinions and give nothing in return - not even a partial credit for the time you've put in. Really dodgy now.

I joined this site when it was known as email cash and back then it was so much easier to earn rewards points.
there were plenty of surveys, frequent web click points and the ebank interest were much higher than now. it was also more fun and interactive with the forum which they now took away.
the change to rewardscentral made it less easier to earn point. there arent as many surveys as there use to be and there isnt much point of putting your points in the ebank unless you're doing surveys. the main thing i like about this site is the instant cash out which allows you to redeem rewards instantly. it's also trustworthy and safe to use

I remember the days of "Emailcash", which is what I had signed up almost a decade ago. The theory was "read emails, get paid". The internet has changed a lot since then, and so has Rewards Central. What used to be lots of small opportunities for engaging with advertisers has become a requirement that you spend money to get money from them.

They do not add "web clicks" every day now, nor do they have "daily surveys". Most surveys I get "screened out" for, if I bother to waste five minutes being "screened out". The only thing that seems to refill is "Offers" where you have to spend money. And Online Shopping, if it even works. I have had several claims illegitimately denied with no satisfactory reason given, some claims amounting to hundreds of dollars.

Now, they've even had the gall to limit the internet you can earn on your earnings. So despite you carefully making enough points to get the highest rate of interest, you can't have that interest, unless you somehow obey their complex system of claims or buying products from offers you may not want anyway.

There have also been reports of people who won money not receiving it for quite some time, so earning "entries to the competition" is not advisable.

Rewards Central went from a legitimate way to make money to a second or third rate website akin to the scammy-type websites I've avoided based in the US. I have gotten actual cash out of them- they do pay out, but there are far better things someone trying to make money off the internet could be doing.

I have been using rewards central for about 2 years. I attempt all the surveys they send and I did have it linked to the my opinions website too. It took me about 12 months of using this website to earn $100. It takes about 6 weeks to get the money paid into your regular bank account. Now, they have made changes. Firstly, I noticed when using the ebank that they are now restricting how much interest you earn based on how much points you earn. This is a bit unfair as sometimes, you just don't earn points, because you are constantly screened out of surveys etc. Also web clicks are not common, neither are quick surveys. I usually only get one once a month. The surveys can sometimes be annoying, as they usually don't give points when screened out. However, you can be filling out the survey for 10 minutes and then BAM your screened out and get 'competition' entries. Now, they also changed their connection with 'My Opinions' as I could transfer points to reward central and then increase my total points. Now, they have eliminated that feature. I don't have the paid version.

Rewards central is one of the better survey websites. They are constanly sending new long and short surverys to complete and they are easy to follow and answer. The rewards are higher than most survey sites i've used and it's easy to earn enough points to get a giftcard, or to get cash out which they will either send a cheque or transfer money directly to your bank account. I like that unlike most survey sites Giftcards are not your only option and you can get real money from completing surveys.

I've been a member of RewardsCentral for 4 years and love it! It has a great program and I regularly get surveys. This year I paid to upgrade to the Gold membership, main benefits are an increased interest rate in the bank and bonus points for surveys and online shopping. It's definitely worth paying for as it pays of itself within just a few months if you stay committed. They have the option of redeeming points for either gift cards or cash bank deposit. Gift cards are at a lower point price so they are better value for redemption. Awesome site to be a member of, free unless you pay for Gold membership which is $66 for 3 years.

Not many surveys as there is to be. But they are a company that always make sure u get ur money, unlike some.

I joined Rewardscentral quite recently but i already love it.
I've been saving points since i started and soon plan to cash out for voucher's.
I suggest you sign up because it's very simple, and you do get the rewards.

Approximate cost: $0,00-

I have been a member of reward central for many years and always get my vouchers/payouts in the time specified. These days I earn more over time through online shopping then survey opportunities. I mostly find that my shopping earns the credit advertised, but I have had trouble with the odd eBay transaction being missed. This seems to have been okay lately though. They have recently introduced new payout methods that are instant. I have made one of these claims and used it at dominos and woolworths with no problems.

They don't issue a lot of surveys, you have offers to complete for companies to contact you regarding changing services (Internet, loans etc) which you will get points for if you are contacted and change. There is a guessing game that can be played everyday.
I think to get the most out of this site you need to shop online through there reward partners. If you like online shopping then this site rewards you for doing so.
You can have your points transferred from their sister site My Opinions and cash them out which takes 4-8 weeks or they have the instant egift card, which is emailed to you to then be used in stores like Woolworths, jb Hifi, Myer, David jones.
