Points For Surveys is the JetBlue version of the site, and when I did a half-assed test with that site, it seems like it's 4 surveys between those two sites. Opinion Outpost is the 'parent' of both those sites, and I'll sometimes get a survey there even after hitting the four per day on OMC. (You can get United Miles at Opinion Outpost, but it takes doing a fair number of surveys to get them to deposit in 300 miles chunks)

MyPoints has United Miles- again you're not getting the same number of miles per survey as with OMC, but it does add up, especially if you also do a little shopping or hotel booking through their portal.

E-rewards has United miles as one of their redemption options for surveys. Their downside is that, save for certain special circumstances, once you pick an airline or hotel program from their list, you're kind of locked into only redeeming with that program, and United might not be the best one to pick if you also collect avios or something.

e-miles is a smaller 'pay per clickthrough' program that's owned by e-Rewards with the same redemption restrictions. It's good for another 500-1000 miles a year (or a few more hotel points) with little effort.

If you collect US Airways or AA miles, Harris Surveys also has US Airways miles right now.

This Tuesday I did 6, which I think is the most I've done in a day. Not sure whether they have a preset limit; mostly, I seem to be limited by not qualifying for more surveys.

Sometimes when I get the above message I wait another minute and another survey pops up.

If I'm lucky I can get 4 before I'm shut down. But unfortunately 2 has been my pattern before I stop qualifying.

Unfortunately I can't take this survey because I don't live in the USA. I've tried it and it annoyingly does not accept me. (I even tried using a VPN to hide my ip address and it still picked up where I was).

Is there a way to take part in the UK? I've tried every single way possible and no way will work - even hulu can work on my computer.

I don't understand why either as there are quite a few people who use United Airlines outside America.

Ugh I would love to do this.

I have 8,500 miles and if I did this for a full year I could get quite a lot and get tons off a flight.

Been doing good up until yesterday. Started late in the evening and wasn't able to get to my usual five. Today I've only qualified for two, which is strange.

I use CyberGhost 5 as VPN service and it works like a charm here! I did put a US mailing address in MileagePlus profile though...

Thank you! It has worked for me and I now have 300 miles but a lot of the surveys won't work for me!

Are there any secrets?

Not that I have discovered - I try to answer thruthfully but that does not seem to lead to a lot of surveys, and most I do qualify for take 20+ minutes for 50 or 60 miles ...

Complete scam from my opinion

I answered 30 or more questions only to have it say : "Sorry"

What a waste of time. Typical Cr$% from UAL . What a crummy airline

What other airline offers the chance to earn miles like United? Upon last check Delta has nothing and AA is affiliated with e-rewards, which sucks beyond belief. I'm lucky to get 500 miles every 6 months from them. I'm just glad United has this opportunity to actually earn a few thousand miles per month without having to pay for anything.
