If so do you think it could also be compared to United TSA data to compare birth dates, somehow jeopardizing miles which have been earned?
The way I understand it, the survey companies do check demographic data in your profile against what you say in individual surveys for quality control purposes. I'm not sure how much of a United profile they can see to check against that for quality control. Weird to have the profile age change like it did.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it because right now this is by far the best earner among the survey companies. While I think that anyone who does surveys long enough tends to fudge around the edges a little bit and say that a widget bought 4 months ago was bought in the past 90 days, I wouldn't mess with stuff that can be cross checked against a profile.
