I participate in Zoom Rewards - nothing miles related - but quick two minute surveys about once a week for low-cost items in return. I've gotten a free juicer & a flexible mini-tripod in the past year (value = about 35 bucks total) and am working towards a device that will let me use my portable DVD players' MP3 function and listen to it over an FM frequency - finally - an MP3 player for the car...

Good idea for a thread, JFE!

Opinion Place (AA miles only)

Actually there's another earning opportunity. If you're an AOL user go to AOL keyword: OpinionPlace, where you can earn up to $4.50 in credit towards your monthly membership fee. I just qualied for a supposedly 15-minute survey (more like 5 minutes) for a $2.25 credit.

Don't forget you can also earn miles if you submit through a partnership program with LendingTree.com
