I think i did that one was it for 400 points( Healthcare) i e mailed them and they said there was a problem with that particular survey they do know about it and points will be credited soon so i guess we will just have to wait and see

The one i did for for 400 points also but it was chocolate, have emailed them again adding this survey to the list of the other two.

I did that 400 point chocolate one today and didn't get my points after either...I usually do. Really wanted them, as I could have got a voucher.

Does anyone have any experience with Rewarded Opinions? I joined in October, and then noticed that they've had poor reviews re payout. I thought I'd stick with them and give them a go - until this evening. They sent me a 'simple' survey about food, which was supposed to last 8-15 minutes. Two hours later I was still going! I don't know who I'm more annoyed at - them for the interminable survey or myself for sticking with it for so long! :mad:

I'd be interested to know if there are any other opinions out there.

They're not so bad. Takes ages to get enough to cash out, took me about 2 years (which is actually better then many: InVista, YouGov who took me over 5 years- exact amount not know as it just took too long to remember!)

They don't send many surveys and I don't seem to qualify for most of them so its not as if they are a scam company, they just don't have a great many surveys to offer.

In general I like them, slow but steady as far as earnings go - but I have sent them a complaint about the survey this evening, utterly ridiculous to claim it should take less than 15 mins when the survey itsefl says 20 mins per section several times!

Thanks, jenniewb. I finally summoned up the energy to go back and finish the survey, and it's good to know that my bad experience this evening might have been a one-off. As we all know on this site, every little helps!

I have claimed my first cash out payment of £20 from Rewarded Opinions recently, I haven't received it but I did get an email confirmation from them and their FAQs says it takes 4-6 weeks or thereabouts, I get really annoyed when these companies take so long to pay out after it has taken so long to get to cash out, Crowdology pay instantly by Paypal so I don't see why others can't do the same.

I will say that Surveyhead have improved their payment times, it took less than a month on this occasion to get my £15 so I am very happy about that, just in time for Christmas.

I completely agree - why are some companies able to pay immediately (Crowdology is brilliant for that) while some take well over a month? I've also just had a payment from Surveyhead, which came a lot quicker than last time - just over 4 weeks, when my previous payment took about 9 weeks.

I've found that I'm getting small payouts from a lot of sites at the moment, and it really does all help with Christmas - if only the deliveries can get through! I'm currently waiting for five parcels, and at least four of them should have arrived by now. Sorry, going a bit off subject there.

I'm actually really grateful for all the survey sites - anything that contributes to our housekeeping budget is a huge help these days.

Not forgetting ToLuna who racked up a massive 6 months just in time for Christmas last year! (I ordered in early October and got my voucher in March!) ToLuna are the biggest joke since Ciao. Even if they don't swipe you out of a survey 9/10ths of the way through, they don't always credit you the points and then don't pay up within any sort of reasonable time!

My guess is that they do this to keep you on file so by the time you order a £10 voucher your halfway through to the next and so never manage to jack them in. (I left in January, they really let me down, that voucher was supposed to be a present for my sister last year.)

Does anyone know how long it takes for Valued Opinions paper vouchers to arrive?
