Sign up with opinion miles. Go to the United site. Under deals and offers click on mileage plus deal and offers. You will get the link to opinion miles and after you complete your first survey you will get 300 miles. The miles post instantly.

As long as you qualify, the sky's the limit.

Site seems to be down for me. Both times tonight I've tried to log in I got a 404 error.

Its sibling site (pointsforsurveys for TrueBlue points) is up again, but won't credit a finished survey properly. I'd just wait until tomorrow to try the site again.

I signed up directly at www.opinionmiles.com

After getting disqualified for about 5 surveys, I finally finished a 6th and it said "Complete" and then "You have earned 300 award miles".

So it "looks" like I am good to go for another 18 months, assuming I do not fly. Now to the $10,000 question. When will the 300 award miles be posted to my United account?

For most surveys if you keep doing them, they post instantly. (or within 5-10 minutes) For the first one, I think it was 48-72 hours for me.

I just earned 30 points. Took a total of 30 minutes.

Survey entailed my alcohol drinking habits...

I have earned about 20,000 miles this year with Unites opinionmiles, but i have completed at least double this number of surveys only to have them say i was disqualified (usually for technical reasons) after spending lots of time. Its a tedious process. Arguing with them about completed surveys usually doesn't get you anywhere either.

Two months ago I completed a survey and took a screen shot that said completed. Of course it posted as not qualified. I wrote and they said a manger would look into it. I just remembered that I never heard back. I wrote again and asked if the manager had a chance to follow up. The miles posted later that day.

On another note I just completed my 3 month teeth strip survey. I will have received a total of $87 plus about 200 miles.

All along I thought it was United's opinion miles. But it was from Jetblue's Points for Surveys!

They're all under Opinion Outpost, which can get its wires crossed on where to credit the product tests if you participate in more than one of their programs. Annoyingly, my product tests seem to always credit to the Opinion Outpost mothership, which doesn't give me as good of a miles redemption rate at the child programs do.

So I'm not going crazy. Until today's last survey, I could have sworn the others posted to United.

Thanks for confirming that I haven't completely lost it.

IP address checking

Unfortunately if you are out of the country, you are not eligible to fill out forms anymore.

This sucks, after all it is for an airline and they do fly internationally

This is a great way to earn miles. I'm averaging 300 miles per day. In doing surveys for 16 days I already have 5K deposited to my UA account. I wish I knew about it earlier.

They want a certain number of responses from each demographic group, and someone else from Ohio just finished the survey while you were on question #7.

Or it's the general screening out response where, say, you just answer that you don't have arthritis for a question when the survey was really about OTC arthritis cream.
