Transferred Friday 3/1. Arrived today 3/8, but appears dated 3/5 in my MP statement.

Hilton is instant, but the other partners may take from 1 to 6-8 weeks.

United transfer time

Thanks for the feedbank. I guess I will check early next week.

For the past 2-3 weeks, I haven't received any survey offers. Prior to that, I used to get several offers per week.

Have others seen a drop in survey offers too? Besides messaging their customer service, I don't suppose I have any other option?

Do you have an e-Rewards account with AA? I had it through a couple of airlines and the surveys just stopped coming in months ago, probably because of the speed with which I completed them. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that you can sign up for e-Rewards without an invitation through the AA site. It's a public offer there. You get 250 AA miles just for signing up, and after I did I've been getting 2-3 surveys per day.

Thanks. Indeed I did have an account with AA. I will try signing up yet again.

Any tips on getting more surveys? I've updated my profile several times but things seem to have completely dried up.

Did you abuse it in any way?

They tend to just shut you off without warning if they suspect anything/something wrong

Don't quote me on it but I get the feeling that if you select yourself as female, african american or hispanic, you have a better chance of getting into a survey than if you are male, white or asian, whom I feel are overrepresented in these studies. That being said, I'm a 25 year old Asian male and I'm content with the 1 or 2 survey opportunities I get daily. Dunno if it pays more to be younger or older.

I think younger helps. At least, it seemed like I got less offers once I hit a "milestone" birthday.

For the first few months I was "abusing" eRewards by blindly clicking answers (though I did at least make sure to keep an eye out for the quality control questions). After 2-3 months of this (when I was getting 1-3 surveys/day), my account all of a sudden stopped for about 2-3 weeks. I came here to find out why and some people mentioned that this sort of abuse may cause them to stop sending surveys. I eventually got another survey, and actually took the time to answer the questions truthfully. Since then I've slowly been getting more and more to the point where now I get 2-3/week.

But now I have a eMiles account where I'm 20 pts shy of a redemption and haven't gotten any new offers in 2-3 weeks!

Honesty and consistency are the key for these survey sites. I've always answered this way and get surveys consistently, both through erewards and emiles.

How long does it take to receive (or get an acknowledgment) the 350 first time bonus miles??

Security verification question

Just filled out a long survey and half way through it there was a question (right when you were expecting to be on autopilot, clicking and dragging) that said "For security purposes drag every choice into Box #3". They're getting sneaky, just to make sure you're awake while answering the questions. Just a heads up.

I've rec'd a lot of surveys with the "for security purposes, check box 3" (and things similar)
