Holidaycheck.com - Earn free AA, LY, LH, AB or BT miles for posting hotel reviews
I just received an email with this offer so no feedback yet if it is a good mileage-earning resource. It appears you earn 70 American miles per review, 100 Lufthansa or 150 Etihad or AirBerlin per review posted.

From the email I received:
Back from a vacation? Take your next one sooner by posting a hotel review on HolidayCheck.
For every published review, you'll earn 70 American Airlines AAdvantage® miles.
Earn up to 700 miles per month reviewing your stays in hot spots like New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and the Caribbean. Help other travelers book the perfect spot, and get rewarded for sharing your experiences!

I've been using the site for over a year and the miles post relatively quick and without a problem (my experience is with LH).
They do have quality check and controls - you might need to show proof of a stay. Overtly negative reports (I had only one) takes a lot of time to be released.

These people are a pain to deal with. They asked for verification for one of my stays. Went into my Marriott account, took a snapshot of my stay (hotel name, dates, and points earned). They said they couldn't accept it because my name wasn't on it and asked for additional documentation. And I told them to take a hike and wished them luck in building their website.

As for verification, it seems to be at random. They accept almost anything that has the hotel name and your name. My verifications were mostly for points redemption (i.e., there was no receipt). Confirmation of booking was enough.
As for the long time for the negative review, I was surprised as well. But although it took some time, it was posted in the end. Nothing was changed in the content of the review.

Your limited to 10 reviews per month that collect reward points. That being said, you could likely get away with doing 10 reviews per rewards program, as long as you use a different email for each program.

True - but unless you live in hotels how many months do you really have more than 10 hotels to review in a consistent manner? In the one time it happened to me, I just posted the reviews over 2 months.
