Check your email to see if you received this great offer. United MileagePlus is offering selected members a chance to earn 500 miles for completing 2 partner offers.

There are four partners to choose from:

Each of the four partners offer easy way to earn points and should be in your points earning repertoire. I have written about each of the partners before:

For me, I have already did the OpinionMiles Club (survey site) and MileagePlus Dining. I should be 500 points richer in about 6-8 weeks.

Say you just found this offer in your email. There is no need to register for the promotion, but you should be selective in your 2 partners. 3 of the 4 partners offer bonuses for first time use:

MileagePlus Dining - 500 miles for signing-up and another 500 points per dine, up to 5 in the next 30 days

Do It For The Points: Earn 600 Miles

On Thursday's Snow Day, I decided to try my hand again at Opinion Miles Club.

As I wrote here, Opinion Miles Club is a great program to earn United miles. Take surveys and have miles deposited within a day in your MileagePlus account. Currently, they are still offering 600 miles after completing your first survey if you have the United MileagePlus credit card. Only 300 miles if you don't.

Throughout the day I took various surveys and earned 260 miles.

I qualified and finished five out of six surveys. Two of the surveys took less than 5 minutes to finish.

How long will it take you to complete your first survey? I can't say. Some people have stated it has taken 5 or 6 surveys to qualify & finish a survey. For me, it only took 2 surveys to earn my 600 points.

600 points isn't anything grand. However, add in the 750 points earned from MyPoints, wrote about here and you might be gaining momentum for your next trip.

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!

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.
