If they reject without so much as a e-mail stating reason WHY bother?  I gave an honest review and no reason was given.

There are reasons why reviews are rejected. Mostly good reasons. Go to "account manager" / "my reviews" - if the review was unapproved, there should be information there as to why. Among the 22 reviews I have submitted, only 1 was rejected, and that because the ladies website disappeared. Learn what you need to be doing to do it correctly. It is not difficult. I've never had to resubmit or edit a review from the first one I wrote. And, I've been a free VIP member since I joined and have over 200 days in my bank right now.
