That's the reason I did not fill out that part of my profile. Don't need any phone calls at my work.

Yeah, I didn't either, I don't think, but it asked me in the survey I had almost completed (was about auto service shops). Since I had spent so much time on it, I went ahead and entered the info. Very strange that they would call.

I agree that the 5 minutes of qualifying answers, before you get to the survey, are annoying. I quit trying because it seems that I hardly ever qualify for a survey. Yesterday I was lured into a pet food survey, but, alas, my pets haven't had canned food within the last 3 months, so I was booted off.

So signed up to try this out. I'm ashamed to say I kept on falling for their trick and tried to complete survey after survey - only to upon completion receive the message "we already have enough responses". Happened over 10 times. Quite fraudulent behavior. Not sure what I can do other than e-mail them. I think I'll just stick with Aeroplan lol

The Jet Blue version of the program now gives you 10 loser miles for getting bounced from a survey. The down side is you generally only get 25-30 or so miles for each fully completed survey.

While getting booted after a large amount of questions is frustrating, I still think its worth the time. I typically get about 1,000 miles a week, and am over 50,000 miles since inception.
Tedious, sure, but I typically do them over lunch or in front of the TV.

I've struck out the last few times I've tried it to take a survey. I keep getting an invitation to "Share my Opinion" which of course nets you nothing.

Finally qualified, though it meant doing a half hour survey about energy drinks for a measly 60 miles

update and question for advice
If you don't want to get screened out, fill in and complete your profile. After I did that, I earned 4100 miles in 2 weeks and rarely got disqualified.
When you do, immediately e-mail them with the survey code (can be found in survey history) and demand %50 compensation or higher because you wasted time. usually they will give you 10 miles for the effort of e-mailing them.
As recommended by another user, just skip until you can find surveys that are 50 miles for 5 minutes. You can do max 5 per day and you'll earn about 250 a day in 30 minutes.
If you want to do MORE than 5, there is a way to accomplish this. Start some surveys but don't finish them. Then finish 5. When you are done the 5 it will tell "check back later blah blah". However, you can resume the unfinished survey(s) that you still have from that day and finish those. I tried it once and it worked and so I managed 6 in a day. YMMV
Problem for me is that I can no longer take any surveys. I always get the message that I do not qualify because of one of 5 reasons (already taken, violated terms of service)
Probably because I was using the same VPN (same IP) for both Miles for Points and doing the same crap on the Jet Blue version. The JetBlue version gives you a minimum of 10 miles per survey. You can sometimes rack up 100 miles in about 5 minutes of work. Just answer the question in a way in which you will automatically get disqualified. Racked up a quick 2300 points in 2 weeks without any effort. I disqualified for about 180 surveys lol and then got the sign up bonus. Their survey system SSI seems to have caught on to the fishy behavior although my miles are still in there and not removed, which leads me to believe it is only automatic and not manual.
Anybody have any solution to get my ability to take surveys back again?
Should I close the account and then create a new one? Should I call? Or have I just been caught and now no longer can keep on doing this?

Took FOREVER to fill out the profile surveys. Asked me to fill out one profile, and then ANOTHER one. Then I finally got to fill out a survey that gave me 600 miles. Haven't had them deposited into my account yet. Total time took including filling out the initial profiles to finishing the first survey was about 30-40 mins.
