    anyone else get a survey today about 'technology'? If so, what do you think of what they're asking us to do....? slightly concerned about it...

    I had ones like this a few times and always given them a miss. They don't pay very well, but more so I don't like the idea of having their software on my pc tracking the websites I visit.

    me neither, security risk is not worth a small survey payout IMHO.

    Too right! There is no information as to the identity of the client, what type of software it is, or whether there is an indemnity from Valued Opinions if it were to go pearshaped. How do we know that the VO client's security is good enough to prevent a trojan being dropped in, assuming the client is legit.

    Wouldn't touch it!

    Is anyone else not able to log in at all?
  • Me neither, which is annoying as I'm due another voucher about today.
  • Hi

    I keep getting rejected from these surveys - maybe its because I am 57!! Any tips for saying what they want to hear because the introductory questions are often the same. What type of responses get you through this stage?? I could do with the vouchers to top up my pension.

  • I've not been able to log in since Friday night. Just waiting on a pending .50 to roll over to get my voucher. The rest of the site is ok and I emailed to report the login probs. Haven't heard anything other than the standard, we received your enquiry reply yet.
    Take the first step.
    Even if you cannot see the whole staircase,
    Just take the first step.

    My husband is 53 and gets surveys. I find that updating my profile from time to time tends to help. Or maybe it's just coincidence:confused:

    Don't think age is the main issue as I am 72 & manage to complete quite a number of the surveys. I sometimes get screened out but do find that if I am unable to try & complete the surveys soon after they are sent, it is often too late & they are filled.
