How often do you get peanut labs surveys
Sorry, Nismo-R; I saw your question before but didn't reply because I didn't have any real answers. Same as tls, there are usually 10 surveys or so on the Peanuts Labs page when I click on it, from the e-miles home page. (Mine don't refresh, though, unless I refresh the page; instead, they just disappear as I try them.)

Also as tls alludes to. most feel that Peanut Labs have a higher-than-normal incidence of frustrated non-completes, and some of them will take you from attempt to attempt, though that matters little since they give you nothing for nonqualifications.

Why you don't have any more, I'm afraid I have no real idea. I suppose there's the chance you may have done something "wrong," like it feels you're a fraudster. (Not judging, just guessing at a cause, and moreover I wouldn't trust their software to accurately figure it out or they'd be better targeted than they are.)

And yes, 5-mile reading bonuses are pretty tough to get very far with on e-miles, especially since now lots of their offers don't even have the 5-mile reading bonuses. You could stick it out to get to your first reward, anyway, and see if the surveys restart. It'll take a while, but it's free any the offers usually stay up 5 days to a week or so, so if you went twice weekly you'd get them.

Personally, I get most of my e-miles from charitable donations...I give a certain amount to charity anyway so getting miles from them is a plus, even though they're not the greatest charities in some cases.
