    They are fine:T

    Although last time my £10 Tesco voucher took about 4 weeks to get to me...........they did apologise straight away when i chased them though and said they hadn't had any of those vouchers in stock.....

    my advice is stay clear of them - brings back memories of ciao. you answer 20 questions and then told you dont meet the criteria. so what happens to the answers you supplied on the 20 questions??? according to isabel they are not used in ayway - yeah pull the other one!!!:mad:

    I've said it before on other survey threads and I'll say it again - DON'T TAKE THIS LYING DOWN FROM ANY SURVEY COMPANY - COMPLAIN!

    Time roughly how long you spend each time and if you get de-selected out near the end, contact them and insist you get something for your time.

    Contact details for VO:
    Email us: enquiries@valuedopinions.co.uk
    Call us on our local call number - 0845 257 3299 - between 9am and 6pm weekdays
    Write to us at 66 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1RL

    VO are owned by Research Now plc - funnily enough I can't see anyone called "Isabel" in their "rogues gallery" of staff:

    http://www.researchnow.co.uk/About_us_team.htm

    They say that: "We strongly believe in the ESOMAR code of conduct for online panels and adhere to or exceed its standards."

    So if you don't get satisfaction from them first time I suggest you say that you will put in a complaint to ESOMAR, who you can find here;

    I know some might think that the "calm down dear, it's only a survey" rule might apply, but I do think these companies should not get free MR from the public.

    Haven't had any real problems with VO, I've had quite a few vouchers from them since back when they were The Mobile Channel. Actually I think Valued Opinions is one of the better survey sites.

    I agree in fact. However, my general principles above should apply to all the other MR sites.

    I joined 4 days ago and have already earned £2.25! :j

    I started a Tesco car insurance one today and after the third question it said I wasnt suitable, I just started it again and changed that answer to a more suitable one and it let me complete the survey.

    I was the right kind of person for the survey so I dont know how they work out their criteria!

    I think it is good though!
  • Just got another £10 from them. Although this time it was a £10 Tsco Gift card instead of a gift voucher - Not that I'm bothered, £10 is £10 however it comes!

    Yesterday beat the lot, answered all YES ALL the questions and it came up with the number reached message. So yet again I won't get paid.
