I'm not even getting the activation email for Opinion Terminal; it's not in spam either. I contacted them, but haven't heard back yet.

I signed up yesterday, got it quickly, but couldn't do any surveys due to massive traffic. Did a survey today, it instantly posted (both the 400 miles and the 1000 bonus miles).

The T&Cs say this: "Mileage Plan™ members who register for this offer and complete at least one transaction with each of Mileage Plan Dining, Mileage Plan Shopping, and Miles for Surveys during the promotional period will receive 1,000 bonus Miles for each partner they earn with."
Does "at least one transaction with each" mean that you have to do all 3 or you won't get any miles? There are no restaurants in my area for the dining program.

I had initially read it that way but real life experiences says that each activity will get the 1000 point bonus. Several of us have completed the survey exercise and have received our 1000 points plus points for the survey.

Looks like you can get an ebook for as low as $1 on Barnes and noble. Thats what i just did. Looks like ebooks are not excluded.

Another shopping option: raise.com is a discounted gift-card vendor. You can get gift cards from them for pretty much anywhere you'd normally shop, including supermarkets, department stores, pharmacies, Lyft and Uber, etc.. I just bought a Lyft gift card since I take them from the airport, and will likely buy several others.
Zilch for opinion terminal, though. Tried different emails and browsers, incognito mode, etc...nothing seems to work.

Someone suggested groupon but not that cheap, most of the options near me are almost 1/2 the cost of what it is just to buy 1k miles. Just hope you actually need to buy something anyways and can just do it through the portal.

I just bought something from Walmart I would have ordered soon anyway (coffee). Anyone know how long it typically takes for purchases to post to the MP account?
Signed up for the survey thing, tried two surveys but was disqualified right away on both, so got 2x5 pts plus 1000 bonus points. I can live with that, don't really want my time filling our surveys with fake information. Now for the dine... exactly one restaurant in town and not a lot of travel until 9/30.
