Some people have kids and families. If I fell into that demographic I would probably not do surveys. But right now, I'd rather spend time than money for free travel.

With that said, I would do a manufactured spend for a really great benefit like Southwest's Companion Pass. But I'm not willing to spend $40 for 5,000 miles per month (and a bunch of time) for Vanilla reloads.
I bet it takes more time for you to do a survey for 50 points than it does for me to get a bunch of Vanilla Reloads

And if you're at a net loss doing manufactured spending, you're doing it wrong
