I'm in a hurry, but lets see if I can give you something in 5 minutes.
We need a skip-by-tag function. gmane should help here
<<search...search>>

Mike McLean posted one in 2011, which still seems to work.
Lets make that a little more general:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;;; Based on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/41427
  (defun my-skip-tag(tag)
    "Skip entries that are tagged TAG"
    (let* ((entry-tags (org-get-tags-at (point))))
      (if (member tag entry-tags)
          (progn (outline-next-heading) (point))
        nil)))
#+end_src

Now, (agenda "" nil) should be:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(agenda "" 
 ((org-agenda-skip-function '(my-skip-tag"reward"))
  (org-agenda-overriding-header "Agenda (without rewards: ")))))
#+end_src

That should do it.
Please give it a try :)
