Well, I just redeemed for 250 UA miles, and they did not automatically credit. They're listed as pending. Typically (including as recently as 2 days ago) they credit immediately. I guess this issue is back, but hopefully not for long. tls

Well, my miles were in my account this morning, so they posted in less than 24 hours. Not bad in the general scheme of things, although I'm not sure why the delay. tls

Looks like they've added the whole Peanut Labs ad wall to the survey area for US folks at least. If you're the sort who picks pennies up off the ground or need a handful of points to get a redemption, the health click throughs that say 'engage with the site for 10 seconds' credit best when you then click on the drug ad of the health site and let it sit for a bit.

Lifescript Advantage click throughs: payout is 25-45 miles if you do them on the Peanut Labs surveys page instead of 15 miles on the e-miles home page. They're the ones that will offer a sample of toothpaste or shampoo or such.
You can often get one of these a day by going through a Chrome incognito window. Fill out an e-mail address (does not have to be tied to the one you signed up with as far as anyone's ever figure out) and then the page with address and such. I think I actually did get a sample of Excedrin from them once in the mail but it's not really about the samples, ya know?
Do like one or two of the 'do you want more span: yes or no' and then just let it sit for a few minutes. Once you get past page two, it will either credit shortly or not without going through the whole thing to the end, and no one in the GPT game has ever really been able to figure out why.

Strange -- AA invited me for 250 miles. Yeah, thanks, got the free miles, bye e-miles
In January, American Airlines invited me with a "free 250 miles" for completing 1 of those e-mile thingies. Now, in the past, I was with Northwest Airlines and used e-miles to bump that account, then they merged with Delta----I closed the account as their "5 mile" free-bees started to come less and less, with a ton of videos watching people and animals in need. Sickening.
US Airways then invited me with 250 miles. I stayed with them 'til it was 1000 miles----canceled the account, same reason. US Airways then merged with American, bumping the 1000 to AAdvantage.
Well come January 2017, AA invited me for the 250. Did all that BS which made my account to 410 in 1 day. Had to go through the same "junk" 'til mid-February until it was 500. Transferred them to AA, finally arrived in March.
And what did I do with my e-miles account. Junked it like the others. ^

Lucky you. I have not had any of those 5 mile freebees at all in 2017. My earned miles are now orphaned on that account because I don't do any of the offers since 80% of the offers are scams anyway.

I have been having decent luck with the Peanut Labs 50 miles for 10 minutes (actual time to complete varies) surveys when attempted late afternoon/early evening.

You're lucky. In fact I sent e-miles this email yesterday:
Not cool. Spent 5 minutes answering a short survey about televisions, received an "all done" message at the end of the survey, only to have the "Bummer, this survey was not a match" window pop up.
So tell me. .. what is the point of completing a survey - even having Peanut Labs acknowledge the survey was completed - and then being told you don't get credit for it because you're not in the right demographic group?
This is one of the big reasons I very seldom do your surveys any longer.

I got invited by AA:
"Do your miles need a boost?
Earn 500 American Airlines AAdvantage® miles when you enroll in e-Miles®, a leading rewards program. Grow your miles while enjoying great offers from the world’s top brands. Every engagement brings you closer to your next destination.
Joining is easy: click on the special invitation-only link below to start."
When I clicked on the link, at the bottom of the T & C it states in order to qualify for the 500 AA miles, I need to participate in 3 offers within 90 days.
Does verifying e-mail (10 e-miles), completing my biodata and taking the initial survey of my interest (5 and 10 e-miles) count towards the aforementioned 3 offers?
