    I have been getting annoyed at the amount of times i get so far through a survey and then don't qualify. think after reading about their new software I'll try someone else. Any advice?

    its a bit of a bind when you spend at least 5 mins asnwering questions and then get kicked off

    there should be a demongraphics selection withiin the first 3-4 questions, like age, where u live and have u used or have you brought etc etc

    based on your responses to those 4 questions a definite asnwer should be given as to wether you match what they look for and complete the surevy in full or you dont.

    I havent been able to log in for a while so was wary of doing new surveys but have been able to log in today. All April completed surveys are still pending though so I cant claim a voucher.

    Ive had no trouble logging into their site over the last fe weeks - but i dont seem to qualify for the surveys at the min either. I probably answer them too quickly- cos once you've done a few, the screener questions are alway the same so i can rattle through those really quickly without reading them properly.

    I usually get John Lewis vouchers and they've ben fine - the only time one didnt turn up, they replaced immediately with no questions asked.
  • For all the people who are having trouble logging in, I know it might seem obvious, but make sure you're going to valuedopinions.co.uk and not valuedopinions.com

    I don't tend to save any of the URLs of the survey sites to my work computer and was getting increasingly frustrated at not being able to log in... until I realised I was being a bit daft and was trying to log into the wrong version of the site :rotfl:

    Valued Opinions have always been the worst for screening out at a late stage in the survey but I can't complain at the minute as I'm doing a £15 National Lottery diary survey for them.

    They tend to screen out at a late stage if they have had enough repsondants before you completed ie if they need 3 more sets of data and 5 people are doing the survey the first three to finish get credited the last two simply get screened out at whatever stage theyre at, which is annoying but other than to get to them quicker theres nothing can be done. As for problems logging in - my IE7 sometimes wouldnt allow me to but I've had no problems on FF (whatever the latest version is),

    Have to say that I'm experiencing very few problems with Valued Opinions at present, in fact they are one of my favourite survey companies. Receiving plenty of surveys, very few screenouts, have just applied for another £10 Marks & Spencer voucher. Have approximately £20 in pending section.

    If you try and log in at the end of completing a survey the link doesn't seem to work. I have survey companies in a Favourites folder and check whether VO points have been added by going to the website. Very rarely any problems.

    Good luck
  • Heard that this site has been reportedly linked with identity fraud in the US, does anyone know if this is true. It seems to have a different name now when i link to surveys, not under valued opinions??

    Not heard anything like that in the UK, and all the surveys unless it says in the welcome page are still being done under the VO name.

  • They are always emailing me too! Also completed the surveys before they tell me I don' t qualify!

    No longer respond to them and in fact I have just blocked their address.
