I haven't received pumpkin spice or anything nice in the mail. No toilet paper, no toothpaste, not even a birthday card. I've earned 2500 miles including (wow) 30 miles for reaching a 2,000 milestone. Most surveys are 50 or 60 miles, ranging from 5-45 minutes. Last night I received (2) emails for 300 and 250 mile offers - both of which said they met their quota of respondents.

My summary experience:
-No shortage of surveys; I qualify for about 1 in 5; most pay only 50 miles
-Never received any products from them to try or test
-Technical issues of surveys ending abruptly or not crediting usually result in staff saying they will investigate. I hear nothing back and ask for a Sup - then I hear the miles will (and do) post immediately.

How do you get the large mileage surveys?

DBCme

Possibly (I don't have enough data points to be certain) surveys that apply only to a small segment of the population, clients willing to pay extra $ to ensure these people are represented.

Or, there's no rhyme or reason

Just went and tried to claim my sisters miles. No one else in my family has an account so they said I could claim hers and it says I can't claim them because its hers.. yeah but she gave them to me.

Is there a way to get around this? Its not exactly fair if she isn't going to use them..

Thanks for that tip. I have 2 outstanding survey complaints pending. I will give them a call next week to see what's up.

In all this time that I have invested I have only qualified for one big survey for 200 miles. It was just so long and tedious I couldn't concentrate on the television I was watching.

As far as the products they have been few and far between but I only had one product tested that I felt was awful. The rest have been pleasant surprises.

And those few checks have been a nice added bonus.

You gotta just keep on trying.

I just spent a total of 30 minutes signing up my non-frequent-flying daughter and taking a survey in her name, getting her 300 miles. Giving her miles a generous value of 3 cents each, I just got her $9 of points, which means I "made" $18 per hour. I normally wouldn't bother, but in this case the 300 mile credit supposedly keeps her account live at UAL, which makes the experience much more valuable. I don't think I'll be doing this again though, until her next mileage expiration date rolls around.

Finally got a free VPN and in only in a week earnt 1000 points in a week. Most of the surveys are long and tedious but hey they might be the thing that gets you over the edge for a redemption.

14,000 miles I've earned just taking surveys in my free time since spring. Definitely not chump change...it's been worth it.

Got another $14 check in the mail. Miles and cash!

50 miles for a survey about the upcoming NC Senatorial Election. It was described as "50 miles for 1 minute" but it was somewhat longer than that.

waste of time, unless you need the miles to keep your account active

YoungBubbie

Just finished a 5 minute follow for 50 miles and they said to expect another check!

I think I have one last follow up in 3 weeks. This one was an easy winner.
And the product worked.

I complained, and was told that my incident would be forwarded to a manager. Nothing ever came of it.

All my miles were with Continental which did not expire. Now with the merger with United they do expire and will in December.

How can I take a survey to extend my miles?

Thanks,

Anovice
