Valued opinions - worth it at the moment

looby75

I've just got through almost 75% of a survey before they told me I am not what they are looking for. I even passed the "screening" part of the survey it was only when I started answering questions on the main part (hence 75% of the way through) they decided I didn't meet the criteria :mad: I'm not filling in anymore of their surveys and am going to email them and ask to be removed from their lists. It took me a good 10 mins to get to that point, that's a load of my personal info they have at no cost to themselves.

I've had one £5 voucher out of them and I've been a member of the site for over 2 years. They just aren't worth the hassle.

But if you lie then they'll start making products you don't like, and introducing services you don't want!

:money: for Valued Opinions, all the way - I've got another £10s worth of vouchers coming to me!

Still no reponse. Even £5 would be ok. They do seem to be a bit of a waste of time. Pigsback, Ipsos, Mutual Points are Juicybrains are the only companies who actually paid me (so far). Lightspeed, Valued Opinions, Ciao seem to keep you in suspended animation.

I think I'm going to get more out of pigsback in just 4 weeks than I have had out of valued opinions in 2 years!

Site seems 2 b a waste of time as of lately. Used 2 b great but am hardly getting survys now and hav started getting the dreaded your not what we are looking for.

Yur payment from surveys used 2 only take a couple days. I emailed them and they told me it now takes between 1week and 4 weeks to get payment for each of your surveys. Also am sure i had money missing as i thought i had more credits pending than i did but god knows. But anyway i reckon this site is going downhill.

So far they have been ok with me, ok you do get some long winded surveys only to be told you dont fit the criteria, but between VO and Mums Opinions i have had about £30 in vouchers, lightspeed about £40, Ciao £12, but the one I have signed up to and never ever had a survey from is Test and Vote, its all swings and roundabouts!

It sends me bananas when you get quite far through a survey and then get told you're not eligible. Whatever they might say, they get a fair amount of info for free.

Anyway, I'm signed up with Valued Opinions (made £32 in 9 months), Test and Vote (£20 in 9 months), GlobalTestMarket (850 points in 6 months), That's What I Think (£25 in 9 months) and GRG Mystery Shop (£60 in 2 months - although you have to get off your backside for this!)

By far the best in terms of qualification and instant Amazon vouchers in rewards was That's What I Think.

I think Valued Opinions is worth it, only if you are getting Amazon vouchers, at least they are instant. I ordered Tesco vouchers and emailed them lots and lots(ooh at least at million times) and eventually got them. I'm still waiting on Test and Vote to send my Amazon codes from last week so will wait to see when they decide to send them

I mean you're on the net anyway you might as well do them, but they should keep up their end of the bargain for the info you're giving them.
