I've been doing it for four days and have 1600 miles to show for it.
Early reflections:
--It's not easy time -- it's incredibly boring. Anyone comparing it to apps like Candy Crush are discounting that time actually seems to move playing the game
--I seem to have better luck trying to knock out my five for the day in the morning. Seem to be found ineligible after the screening questions more often at night.
--I've had OK luck closing a survey offer if it's for a long length (e.g., > 20 minutes) and re-clicking the "take a survey" button
--I've had OK luck getting a shorter survey (5-7 minutes) after completing a survey and clicking "take another"
I've resolved to only do this until I can get the last couple of thousand for a return trip from Europe. The idea of doing this everyday indefinitely is probably my definition of purgatory. That said, thankful for the opportunity, and it's been relatively hassle/bug free so far.

Over the months I've gotten free miles, free products and free money.
I hope they do take our opinions into consideration. The best survey I did was on credit cards concerning miles, points, benefits, and annual fees. That one I found interesting.

60 miles for a long survey on internet net neutrality. Odd questions like "have you ever created a technology start up?" and bad grammar like "What age?".

Definitely email opinion miles and complain. They will investigate. I had that happen to me and the miles did post eventually.

I joined yesterday, filled out a survey and got my 300 miles. Today I cancelled my Opinion Miles Survey. While I appreciate getting some miles to extend the expiration of my UA miles, the survey was way too long and tedious. As others have suggested, I let them know this in my exit feedback.
Took me 2 1/2 weeks.

How I play this game:
I never respond to the email links. They are usually for longer time (20-40 minute) surveys for 60 miles or they are for links that have already reached their allotment of survey-takers.
When logging into the website, I fill out the preliminary questions but always say I have no health issues. That's a personal thing - I just dislike the medication surveys as they tend to drone on and on.
Once I am offered a survey, if it estimates more than 15 minutes, I click to proceed and it opens the survey in a new window. I answer one question and then close the web page. I click to reload the survey offer page and repeat the cycle until I am offered one for 50 miles <15 minutes or less.
Typically, I only do 50 miles / <10 minute surveys. They tend to be more interesting, don't make you click through walls of buttons and offer the best value of miles per minute spent.

Nothing better than "50 miles for a 5 minute survey" 
Though I still hate having to watch ads.

signed up today for a few extra miles. Is there a limit on how many you can do per day? I only did like 4. Now i am getting a message
" check back soon While you wait for a survey to become available you"
Are there other survey sites? I figured the more you do the more points you can earn. I have like 810 points, that's $ 810 bucks i saved in spending for those miles.
