    valued opinions are a waste of time, Spent a lot of time on surveys, give them lots of answers, so they get their research, then suddenly they say, QUOTA FULL... You'll earn way less than £2 and hour with this shower of s***

    Out of all the survey sites I think VO is most legit and most likely to give you your rewards, their rewards are higher than other sites as well. I joined a few others and I didn't get credited with any rewards despite filling in many surveys :mad: It is annoying when VO say you didn't qualify for a survey after completing 3/4 of it or even that you didn't complete it when it was a technical problem or the survey deciding you didn't qualify. Still I have got £30 from it over a few months and am nearly up to getting another £10 voucher which is not too shabby for ticking a few 'radio buttons' and writing some rambling paragraphs. It is a pittance but at the same time I'd probably be doing nothing in that same timeframe as I am using to fill their surveys so I am not really losing anything. xx

    £2 an hour is pretty good going for most surveys IMO- Don't bother attempting ToLuna if VO aren't any good to you, ToLuna are the biggest joke going (well, alongside one or two other jokers!)

    I've found Toluna to be one of the best as I've received £210 in Love2Shop vouchers in under a year! Admittedly now though, they are verrrry slow in crediting points, but up to this point they've been fairly good, although vouchers take a while to arrive. Valued Opinions was alright at the beginning and I received 1 voucher, but after that I've literally had no more survey invites from them at all.

    I'm also with Global Test Market and I've currently received just over £90 from them, and have nearly got enough points to get another £30ish points. They're an American site, so the cheques take a month or so, but it's still good to get proper cash.

    I've found Ipsos and Survey Network quite good as well. Panelbase and Opinion World take a bit longer and they send me quite a few surveys, not all that I qualify for.
  • can I ask if you find you have to keep a manual record of the survey's you have completed? Is that the best way to ensure you get the correct points?
    A big big thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone entering

    V/O were weird today as I answered loads of questions and then it ended prematurely.
    Where I like V/O for quickness of crediting your account and paying out e-vouchers I think late screen-outs are cheesing me off + may quit.

    I am ignoring Toluna email invitations as they are too slow at crediting points/voucher redemption and too many screen-outs. I will quit when I eventually get my o/s points and the voucher for those!

    Harris give you 30 points (+ sweepstakes?) if don't qualify and Ipsos Access 10 points.

    I do, I also keep a log every month to see how much I am getting per survey site, monitored so that after a year I leave if its not worth me staying.

    Strangely I did a Harris survey yesterday but only got an entry into the draw - like you I have always had the 30 points. Hope they are not stopping the 30 points.

    I don't ever remember getting 10 points from Ipsos for non-qualify. Is Ipsos Access a different link?
