Valued Opinions Surveys

Are these guys for real?

I signed up to do their surveys and have started getting requests to do a survey, where you answer about ten to fifteen questions and they then tell you that you don't qualify, having given them as much information as on other complete surveys. The one that made me ask this question was about drinks you consume......

Anybody else had this happen?

    They are very much for real :) I earn about £10 a month (give or take) from those surveys, been saving up for Amazon ones all year and just cashed in my awards last week and received £100 in vouchers which came instantly by email and I did a nice big shop for Xmas pressies.

    I second that I get quite a few surveys from them and cash in for amazon vouchers. Just tell them what they want to hear in the surveys.

    I quite often get surveys where I answer a fair few questions before being told I'm not needed - you need to answer them fairly quickly before they reach the quota of answers for your particular demographic.
    It does seem to go in swings and roundabouts though - I've just had a spate of ones which I've whizzed through, and cashed in £20 of vouchers. I don't do as well as some people, as I try to be honest rather than saying what I think they want to hear, but I still do ok from them.
    Stick with it.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • I've been with these guys for about 2 years now - I'd say they're one of the better ones. I say I only qualify for about 50% of the surveys, but I've gone through a lot recently and have earnt about £10 in the last month. On average, I'd say I earn about £60 a year. Word of warning though, the vouchers do take about 4-6 weeks to come through, but this is the norm - they do turn up in the end!

    Same for me about £10 a month, you have to take the rough with the smooth with surveys but these have been ok with me.

    Valued Opinions are definately one of the best survey sites, ive had hundreds of pounds with them over the last couple of years.
  • At first I was always getting turned down for them but once you tell them what they want to hear then you should be able to make a bit of cash each month. I also found that the amazon codes were instant
  • You have to get in quick for the surveys thats why if you try to complete one maybe 2 hours after its sent to you theres a greater chance that this will happen but i think most people agree dont be put off with this happening as this is still the best site going.
