Thanks, Monahos. My Hilton points showed up this morning with a posting date of April 1!

I have done 2x 250 miles transfer to UA in the past year. Today I redeemed 500 emailes and then got a pop up window claiming the direct deposit failed and informed me to check my UA account and last name - the very same information that has had 2 redemptions successfully last year. What is the problem with emiles?

Same thing happened and this is the email response I received:


Dear Member,

Thank you for contacting e-MilesŪMember Services. There is an issue with all deposits issued towards United Airlines. Please disregard the error message. Once the issue has been resolved we will notify. At this time, we cannot expedite the deposits. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.

Thank you,

I wonder why they can't "expedite" the deposits. I've done a number of transfers to UA this past year, including most recently on Apr. 14, and they've all credited to my UA account immediately. All, that is, until today's request for a redemption. It seems odd that they'd lose the ability to do this. Hopefully we'll at least get them at the beginning of the month.

The UA transfer I requested on 4/20 hit my account today. Things should be back to normal, hopefully.

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to e-miles, when I joined there was the usual X + Y offers like 5 + 15 for the New Jersey Travel Guide and there was a section for Peanut Labs surveys. The first day I joined under Peanut Labs there was like 10 surveys to do some 33 miles some 50 miles etc I could not finish all that day. When I logged in the next day there was none available although I left some from the previous day and every time I came back since then click Peanut Labs it says no surveys available. This was a month ago and the same thing every time.

Have I done something wrong?

e-miles doesn't make sense if you only do the 5 and 10 miles offers and don't get any surveys

Anyone with some help here?

How often do you get peanut labs surveys

thelostshark May 23, 2016 7:20 am

I don't get any emailed to me, but there are almost always 10 surveys on the survey page of their web site, and after I take one or am disqualified from one, the page typically (but not always) refreshes such that another one becomes available. So there are many opportunities, but I find it's more difficult to qualify for one of their surveys than for other survey outfits'. tls

Sorry, Nismo-R; I saw your question before but didn't reply because I didn't have any real answers. Same as tls, there are usually 10 surveys or so on the Peanuts Labs page when I click on it, from the e-miles home page. (Mine don't refresh, though, unless I refresh the page; instead, they just disappear as I try them.)

Also as tls alludes to. most feel that Peanut Labs have a higher-than-normal incidence of frustrated non-completes, and some of them will take you from attempt to attempt, though that matters little since they give you nothing for nonqualifications.

Why you don't have any more, I'm afraid I have no real idea. I suppose there's the chance you may have done something "wrong," like it feels you're a fraudster. (Not judging, just guessing at a cause, and moreover I wouldn't trust their software to accurately figure it out or they'd be better targeted than they are.)

And yes, 5-mile reading bonuses are pretty tough to get very far with on e-miles, especially since now lots of their offers don't even have the 5-mile reading bonuses. You could stick it out to get to your first reward, anyway, and see if the surveys restart. It'll take a while, but it's free any the offers usually stay up 5 days to a week or so, so if you went twice weekly you'd get them.

Personally, I get most of my e-miles from charitable donations...I give a certain amount to charity anyway so getting miles from them is a plus, even though they're not the greatest charities in some cases.

Of course, you might not be that much worse off not getting the Peanut surveys...I just spent an hour and ended up with 32 lousy miles. Whatever you do, if you get one from "Ampario," just close it. They just suck up a bunch of the same generic information every time and quit midway. Emphasis I guess on "they suck."

I have the best luck with the 31 mile ones from Research Now that seem to be live around lunchtime.

Points still not posting after six weeks
 
Is anyone else experiencing a longer-than-normal wait time for points to post? I redeemed about six weeks ago for IHG points and they are still pending. I'm curious if others are having similar experiences.

Same here, I redeemed for IHG points on 4/4 and it is still pending.

If you are willing to do a trial and give your credit card, you'll sometimes see options to get 300 miles for signing up. I've had 2 of these int he past year. Of course, be sure to cancel in the trial period otherwise you'll get billed.
