    I've been doing it about 6 months. not a brilliant earner, but easy. Just scan your shopping with the machine they supply. About £120 a year.

    Hi Everyone, I've just unsubscribed from Valued Opinions, just done a survey regarding branded Jeans and was told after answering question upon question and being on about 10 minutes that they had reached their quota :confused:. This is the second survey site I've unsubsribed too in months the other being Ciao, I have to say I'm so annoyed and WONT be doing anymore. What a con!:mad:

    Valued Opinions are usually quite good- sorry you had such a rubbish expreience- ciao are well known cons and would steer well clear! I didn't know I wasn't the only one till I posted this question- now I have unsubscribed to about 10 of the survey sites I was once with ciao being one, followed swiftly with OpinionWorld and toluna.

    There are others out there, hope you haven't given up totally, some do pay up, even if it takes ages to get to the cashout point!

    That's rather irritating for you! However, out of the sites I have tried, VO is probably the best in my opinion :)

    I'm so confused, i had an email from Yougov offering me a survey for £1.

    So i logged in, and before taking me to my homepage it asked me 1 question about whether i'm a nurse or not, and gave me the £1!!

    lol

    I've joined loads of survey companies in the past and have now left the majority (Valued Opinions/Juicy Brain/Caio, etc.).

    The best IMO now is Lightspeed. Their surveys normally take no longer than 15 minutes and you can convert points to vouchers or PayPal. From memory, one survey equates to about £1 PayPal and you get a lot of surveys come through (well, I do :rolleyes:).
    Wins since 2009 = £17,600

    MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS

    seems to me you gov gave you a bonus, maybe out of guilt,:confused: Nurses, firemen ambulance workers and teachers are not paid enough in this society.:mad:
