Separately, I hoped to log September Avios last night, did the qualifying section, got to 90-something percent of the survey, and was told, "This survey is not for you ... you have been entered ... "

Do you do the "follow-up" surveys?
Seems that this company is doing a lot more cross-checking -- first within surveys, where they ask the same question in reverse and if one's answer doesn't exactly jibe, they ask for confirmation. Now, I'm getting surveys that say...
...and ask several of the same questions, and again, sometimes a reverse version.
...And I'll cop to being a neophyte in comparison with you who do dozens of these (including the UA 300-600 one) per night if it accounts for my question. Thank you.

We greatly appreciated your participation in our recent survey. In continuation, we would like to ask you a few more questions about the same subject.

Sometimes you get the follow-up because there were technical problems with a few questions with the original survey. The other day, I did a survey where the radio buttons were clearly messed up on one question. Then today, the first survey that came up was the corrected version of that single question from that survey so the radio buttons worked right. So the same credit (25 Jet Blue miles in this case) for literally three mouse clicks as for a survey I could be spending 8-10 minutes on.

Thank you, beachmouse. I have encountered the apparently malfunctioning survey, as some have noted above -- full stop. But the follow-up surveys have been a repeated series of questions. And I can't remember what I've said before -- e.g., my exact ranking of financial institutions, and how warmly I felt about them the first time.
Has anyone ever had their Avios or miles retracted because the company was dissatisfied with the member's responses?

Sorry, please try another survey…
We take answer quality and account security seriously. Unfortunately we are unable to record your participation in this survey. This can happen if you rush your answers, your answers do not match your profile data, you are not in the designated country you signed up in, or you or someone in your household already participated in this survey.

No sweep. My Avios consistently post 48 hours after they are earned with this program.

I wonder if I heard nothing because I signed up from a German IP address and my BAEC account is based in the UK. That would sort of make sense. But, as I wrote in another thread, I barely have enough time to spend on these survey things anyway.

EDIT: I finally manage to take one. I cleaned my cookies and actually clicked on the "Participate now by clicking here " link in the email, not the "Take this survey now" like I did previously. No idea what trick did it, but I got my 600 Avios survey. Now I'll see if they appear in my non-UK BAEC account.

Do we need to keep them interested? No invitations in seven days. Up to September 9, I was getting at least one a day. I let three go by, intending to rest until October.

I learned that I'd violated the terms & conditions. I don't know of anything I did differently between my first and last surveys. I wrote to ask why. A week later, I received a very nice letter from customer service that said they'd look into it. It's been another week without a word. All the Avios that I earned remain.
