Paid Opinions website

Options
Hi

Is anyone using the paidopinions.co.uk website and if so what is your feedback on it. I was about to subscribe for the £32 full life membership but was a bit worried to find that both its Paypal and Worldpay payment pages did not have the normal SSL padlock at the bottom of my IE window - I tend to stear clear of sites that don't offer SSL for payment.

Also any other recommendations of good opinions paid for sites that I might use and are legit.

Thanks

    Do you really want to pay them £32 for a list of websites that they are unconnected with?

    I bet that is what they are doing!

    Suggest you type in paidopinions into Google!

    I wouldn't pay - no way. I forget who i am signed up with but its free and I get sent stuff via email every so often.
    There is a thread about it - I wil try and find it for you.

    This is one. There is an older one but I can't seem to find it at the mo.

    Hi lessa2003,

    My opinion would be to steer clear of anything like this you have to pay for. The idea is that they should be paying you not the other way round.

    There are lots of other sites out as alison6692 has pointed out. Use them and you should be fine. :D

    Just signed up with ciao.

    Used to work for emysteryshoppers but found that they seemed to limit the number of surveys so it took months to get any money off them.

    NOP - never had any work from them at all, not even an offer...

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Gettng a bit fed up of Ciao already - they have sent me 5 surveys so far - four of which, once I've completed the first few questions, they've said I'm not suitable for!

    I've filled in all the details when I registered so why are they sending me unsuitable questionnaires? ???

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Signed up with ciao a few weeks ago.

    Most of the surveys it directs me to insist I use Internet Explorer - and when I click through I find the site is on my Iespyad restricted sites

    that can' be good
