For the people running scripts and spreadsheets, it would be nice to know what your "optimal routings" would've been after the fact.

ie. Did you overfly? Underfly? Would you have done a different routing? And if you have any historical pricing data, what you could've saved / should've spent?

Got the same error on clicking the link.
It did allow me to do the survey, but instead of a thank-you note on completion, it again presented the above error.

Now, this is what should have happened with this year EYW So, they finally get it right as having it working in the morning was actually a glitch

The survey works now, and I immediately received my 500 wings upon completion.

I'm not sure what you mean?

You're asking questions that make assumptions about peoples' goals.

I booked my optimal routings. Optimal, for me, does not care about "pricing data", as I was trying to minimize time.

I did not overfly, as I also needed to get some AQD.

500 wings for the survey credited immediately. How about they make that happen for wifi purchases (never received mine), or for flights flown?

I got the bug when I clicked on the email link, but it allowed me to do the survey and said my survey was received.
However, when I read the post above, about instant wings, I checked and saw no wings. I completed the survey again, got no bug, and DID get instant wings. So, if you answered the survey during the bug window, make sure you got the badge.

Did m survey using my phone and it posted instantly.

I reached E75K in early-October; When can I expect the Level Up badge? Should I email them through the contact link?

The flight was booked in late-September.

Thanks alc! I wouldn't have found it, but this got me my next 2k AP points . I never got an email about a survey.

Unfortunately getting to your post with the new FT website is tough on my laptop .
