Is this being run by the same company as Opinion Outpost? I'm wondering because the evaluation at the end of the survey looked the same as what appears for Opinion Outpost, and because when I had no more available surveys in Opinion Outpost I had no more in this as well.

Thanks for this. Although I only earned 300 miles, it did extended my points expiration until 2015, it only cost me 5 mins of my time!

My 600 points posted. That's pretty much right at the border of the kind of value I'd require for 30 minutes of my time on a day off. Anything less, and a survey offer will go to my "deleted" folder fast.

interesting response today after I was complete

Thank you for your interest in participating in our surveys. Unfortunately we are unable to record your participation in this survey due to one or more of the following reasons:

1.You or someone else using the same computer has already participated in this survey.
2.The country under which you are registered does not match the location of the computer you are currently using.
3.Sometimes, if interviews are rushed through they can't be used and you may not be eligible for the survey reward.
4.Our security system detected that someone using this computer engaged in irregular activity.


It was either #1 (i'll try it at a hotel computer next time)
or 3 (I blew threw it in five minutes)

definitely not 2

should not be 4

I originally used this site to keep miles fresh in a number of family accounts but am now focusing on one family member that is less than 1,000 miles away from a desired award threshhold.

I love how quickly the miles post. Awesome!

All points posted with in minutes on my united Account.

This was a pain to complete. They offered a string of 5 or 6 different surveys. each one I took would disqualify me after 1 to 10 minutes invested ("you are not the target for this survey" or similar language after I had started answering questions) - gee, I'm sorry I don't smoke Camels or have hemorrhoids or go to Disneyland. Feh. Finally got a survey they wanted me to proceed through. 20 minutes later, completed, and 600 miles posted moments later. I agree that this is just barely worth the trouble and time invested - right on the edge for me. YMMV.

Yes, no easy points. And yet valuable points

Just to clarify - I earned 600 miles for "enrollment" (it appears you only get this after you have successfully completed at least one survey). I managed to get through 3 surveys today (it's a slow day at work...) for 50 miles each. And the miles do seem to post instantly - this could be good for someone who needs to top off an account quickly for an award.

OK, 750 free miles, I shouldn't complain. ^

Took obnoxious survey which made me feel like I am an alcoholic because I seemingly know every brand of liquour, but the 600 miles posted within a minute of finishing the survey, so there's that.

My posted next day, 300 only. And it took like 2 houers, so no easy point, but it extended expiration day. Thanks for that.

Just finished one on new laptops and it took 15 min. 60 miles posted 10 minutes later. Just amazed at how fast these are posting.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to go to the United shopping mall, buy something real cheap (like an itunes download) and extend expiration that way?

300 points are worth about $5.00, so you're working for $2.50 an hour on this.

Mine posted overnight, by the way. Just 300 though, but at least miles now won't expire until 2015.
