Anyone else get email from United offering 24,000 miles a year for e-rewards survey?
Can you earn miles from e-rewards surveys for multiple BA and Virgin as well as United?
Or once you sign up for surveys are you tied into that airlines programme?
hate to think how many surveys you’d need to do to get 24K. Many years ago, it was like 50-100 points per survey, with many throwing you out as invalid based on answers after you’d spent 10 minutes part completing it.
It’s perfectly possible to get 24000 a year but you’d have to be very dedicated or bored. I tend to use it to top off my AA account because they have a 2 year expiry on their miles.
Payouts for United are 500 miles for 2000 points, 1000 miles for 4000, and 2000 miles for 8000 so you’d need to collect 96,000 e-rewards points.
The payout companies can vary but I have AA, BA, Etihad, Flying Blue, Iberia, United and Virgin on mine. So can be useful if you’re a few miles short of a redemption.
Hotel groups – Accor, Hilton, Choice, IHG and Melia
Other shopping payouts – Amazon, Lakeland, M&S, Sainsburys, TK Maxx, Mastercard, World Privilege Plus and Zizzi.

It’s usually 90 days between orders per company for paying out as well directly on e-rewards, though I think it is different if you are on a dedicated companies survey via e-rewards (Avios For Thoughts for example), in that you are sent the points/miles as soon as the survey is completed.
Used to be the case but they’ve changed it to 1 reward per 30 days now at least on my account.
So max reward per year for United would be 12 x 2000 = 24000. So for once marketing has it correct.
I used to have 5 erewards accounts, one was linked to Avios.com only, and the other 4 could send to Iberia Avios, Hilton, United, Virgin and some other non-useful programmes.
I didn’t bother trying to keep the accounts separate in terms of IP address or sandboxing the browser etc and they didn’t catch on for about 8 years. Then the surveys started drying up.
There was also a trick to not get kicked out of surveys. Obviously, I’m the CFO of a company with 25000 employees who is responsible for $1 billion of purchases per year (yet somehow I’m willing to spend 30 minutes to earn 100 avios a few times per week).

You would think they would advise that by email. That will be 84,000 Hilton Honors points per year now. I don’t have BAEC, Flying Blue or United on my e-Rewards account. I do have VS Flying Club, but not collecting them for the time being.

Yep, anyone who can manage to earn 96k erewards points on one account, a) has no life and b) is an inveterate liar.
