Valued Opinions Surveys

  • Reverbe, Ciao is the only survey panel I have ever quit. Same with their review site; DooYoo is SO much better. Valued Opinions is one of the best survey companies there is, along with Globaltestmarket and Lightspeed.
  • How is everyone doing with Valued Opinons this month? I was getting a survey near enough every day from them in December, but have only had one in the last 3 weeks (which I got screened out of). Getting a bit worried, as they usually send me way more surveys than this :(

    Anyone had anything off them lately? Please reassure me that it's not just me!

    I haven't had much lately, and have been screened out of them all. It'll probably pick up since they will not have had many clients over Christmas/New Year.

    On a related note, I keep getting the same invitation from GlobalTestMarket for a TV survey, and they link doesn't work. I've had it 6 times in the past few days.

    I quit Ciao too. I thought why bother doing all that work and getting all those emails for no reward. Pity they don't tho cos I am getting invites at the rate of 2 a day or so from them...

    Signed up with lightspeed way back in Sept but have never heard form them

    I keep getting that one, its for 100 points but it doesn't let you start the survey:confused:

    Glitter, I've had 4 since the new year, so I seem to be on target for my average of about 6 per month.

    reverbe - agree about ciao, I quit after getting my first payout, I got screened out of so many, when I thought I had already done a full surveys worth.
    I'm doing quite well with lightspeed, though I'm sure they've lowered their points per survey. I've just checked my account and I didn't get my first survey with them until a month and a half after signing up, so don't loose hope.

    I have had 3 from Valued Opinions since the New Year, been screened out of 1 of them but got £2 for one and £2.45 for the other one I completed. Sometimes I get quite a few then at other times I get nothing for a while.

    I have managed to complete 2 this month but have been screened out of a number as well. I made £60 from them last year but seem to have lots of little surveys, some time only paying 25p but it does add up. I never receive any paying large amounts.
    You certainly have to complete them as soon as you are notified. I have found that if you try to do them a few hours later, they are usually filled.
  • Thanks everyone for letting me know how you're getting on with VO...hmm, I am a bit paranoid then, as everyone seems to be getting the usual number except me!

    Edited to add - Haha, they must have read my post, as I've just this second been sent a TV survey! Weird coincidence. Got kicked out of it as soon as I put where I live though, guess they don't want anyone from the North West doing that particular one! lol. I suppose it does come in fits and starts...I was really lucky before Christmas as they seemed to be looking for lots of people my age from my area, but now they must want the exact opposite! Oh well.

    I've joined Lightspeed recently, and been sent 4 or 5 surveys this week - again, screened out of them all though. Hmm, am starting to get a bit paranoid! Have only had one Yougov this month too, although I hardly ever get surveys from them anyway. Hope it picks up soon!
