Anybody use the Reward brand ICFs? Were looking at doing a small foundation with the product & would like input on this or any other brand of ICFs.

I have used a bunch of it.
Go with the I-form because the inside is smooth and rebar placement is not so critical.
The E-form is a massive PITA to get the rebar right.
You need a lot more bracing than Reward's marketiong department wants to admit to. Otherwise it's a great product.
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the
comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is
violating all his laws. -John Adams, 2nd US president (1735-1826)
Agree with Catskinner's comments - I used Reward for my foundation and the bracing they tell you to use is inadequate. Otherwise they're nice.
If you're in the northeast and you use the 8" wall forms, I have a bunch of extra ones that I would like to get rid of, cheap. 8 corners and about 24-25 straight forms.
Thanks for the input, were looking at 210' of wall 4' ht. Price I got was $16.20 for the 8"core & $17.05 for the standard 90 corner. With such short wall hts. hope bracing will go smooth.
Its been about 20 years since we have used Icfs. also looking at http://www.buildblock.com waiting for the price from them they are local so the shippiung might be less.
