How Many Miles Could I Earn In 1 Hour?

I wrote here about how you can earn miles through taking surveys.

Opinion Miles Club has partnered with United Airlines to earn miles for completing surveys.

Unlike other mile earning survey companies, Opinion Miles Club directly deposits the miles into your United MileagePlus account within a day, if not hours of completing a survey. No need you to transfer miles and wait 6 to 8 weeks.

Reader David left a comment that he has earned 6,400 miles in the past several weeks. That is over 20% of the miles needed for a round-trip award ticket in the United States.

David's comment got me thinking. How many points could I earn in an hour taking surveys? Last night, I put the question to test. For one hour with no interruptions, I took surveys. The result was that I earned 220 miles in 60 minutes, a little less than 4 miles a minute. I completed 4 surveys and time-out of 3 others.

The best part was the miles posted within an hour:

Not to shabby. You aren't going to get mile rich off of surveys, but its a free way to earn points!

Opinion Outpost Now Offering MileagePlus Miles

Earlier this week, I received an email from Opinion Outpost, one of the survey companies I participate in, notifying me that they are offering MileagePlus miles as a reward option now.

Opinion Outpost is a survey company that offers rewards for completing surveys

I was excited at first at a new way to earn MileagePlus award miles. That was until I saw the conversation rates:

This might not mean anything until I mention that Opinion Outpost points can be exchanged for cash at the following ratio:

Therefore, the 350 points it would take to earn 1,000 MileagePlus miles could earn you $35.00 as well. This is the almost the same cost of buying them directly from United.

In addition, Opinion Outpost is notorious for having you take surveys for 15 minutes and kicking you out. This results in you earning zero points. A lose-lose situation.

Lesson here: always comparison shop! What looks like a good deal on its face, but not look good from its behind.

Earn Miles with Surveys

Earlier this month, I wrote about how you can earn United miles taking surveys through eRewards. Another way to earn miles taking surveys is Opinion Miles Club.

Opinion Miles Club is offering 600 miles for those who sign-up, create their profile and complete a survey. I received the email below alerting me to the offer, so check your email to see if you were sent the same offer:

If you did not receive the offer via email, don't worry. You can go here to find the same offer.

Its important to clink the learn more button to access the 600 mile offer. You should land on a page like this:

If you clink the website button, you will be taken to the 300 mile offer landing page:

From what I have read, completing your first survey is a PIA (Pain in the Ass). However, those who have completed the first survey have indicated that they have received the promised miles into their MileagePlus account within a week.

600 miles won't get you an award ticket to anywhere. However, I hope you are seeing with this series that completing offers like this one can make that dream trip a reality.
