In light of the United reward cost went up I decide to redeem AA and AS whenever there are $50 in the account so would not be caught by unpleasant surprise. AA AS and BA are much more valuable to me than UA anyway.
The $30 survey I had was 30 minutes long and was basically just click on answers - very easy. AND in the last week since then I have received several (for me) high dollar surveys - $10, $8, $6 and more than a few $4-5 surveys. Yesterday I was able to cash in for 2,000 AAmiles and I had just done the 2,000 United miles a week ago! I was going to do UA again but as you indicated they raised the cost to $115 so I went with AA. I hope this keeps up - but I doubt it. I also completed a couple of $4 surveys that sent me to the "Sorry" screen after it had said I completed the survey then asked a few demographic questions. They gave me the points for one and haven't responded to the other yet - but while they usually give me the reward - their replies are pure BS as to why it happened.
