This really puzzling. Is United trying to game the surveys?

They don't bother to survey me when the flight is delayed, the equipment doesn't work (ovens, toilets, seat recline, etc), the FA's have don't want to do their jobs, etc.

Seriously. I have had some very bad flight experiences and they never ask about them.

Must be a coincidence. I have gotten surveys on the each of the last 4 flights I took. I was upgraded on none of them (so much for stretching to make 1k last year) and 3/4 were badly delayed (90+ minutes late arriving).

I haven't gotten a single one since they discontinued the old post-flight surveys. I don't think it has to do with upgrades at all.

Same here. I've flown 75+ segments since 3/3, and I've only received one post-flight survey.

I received my first survey last week since they discontinued the old one for my LAX-LHR flight which was delayed by almost 3 hours.

Rate the flight 1-10 (radio button)
Why did you score that (text box)
What can we do better (text box)

That was it. While you never really know if a survey gets read, this one sure felt like a "we don't care how you respond" survey.

Did you give a reasonably good score (7 or above)? Normally if you give a good score you just get the basic questions. If you give a low score you'll be walked through a number of follow-up question asking which area(s) you had problems with, and details on each of those areas.

Personally, I like it. If you have a generally good experience the survey takes almost no time to complete. If you had a bad experience they ask for all the details on why.
