Echo Rewards Redemption Status??

[Redcow]

I've been using echo for quite some time now. You used to receive the Amazon.com gc's in just a few days. Now I havent received one since 8/03. and I have redeemd quite a few since then. Anyone have any info on why it has been taking so long. or anyone received any? or anyone talked to an echo rep? lets find out what the hold up is.

Thanks for taking the time to contact echo!

Your feedback is extremely important to us, so we have assigned your message to an echo team member who will personally address it and get back to you shortly. If you're writing to inquire about a Reward, please be aware that due to overwhelming response Rewards redemption could take as long as two months. Be assured, we will honor every request and we are working around the clock to get you your Rewards.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and patience.
We couldn't have had this success without you!

Thanks for Listening,

So, by backlogging, I would assume, they mean that they are in fact sending out rewards, but there is just too many of them?! Or they will start rewarding in two months? Or they are looking for sources of revenues as most of the internet ad-driven sites have been doing for the past couple month since they were running out of their funds

This is the reply from my inquiry regarding my missing GC's. (None since Aug. 7 or so.)

As follows:

Dude, my guess is they're budgeted for paying out a certain amount and they never DREAMED they'd get this response. They won't be able to handle it; it's got to be costing them millions.

I wouldn't hold my breath that anything will arrive "in a couple of months"...
