Valued opinions - worth it at the moment

Caggie

Perhaps due to a demogrpahic type, VO maybe be useful to some. But their withholding of money as 'pending' is unacceptable. After all pending seems safe , but for how long? Anything after a month by their admisssion is wrong. Complain and do not let them fob you off with a new time scale. Insist

Does anyone know how to take part in the market research thingy that someone else mentioned in another post, I am sick of getting half way through surveys to be told Im not suitable.

I reckon its to do with age - I'm 35 and if I put that I seem to be kicked off. If I forget how old I am and put in the 20 something to 34 - more often I am able to do the whole survey, anyone else find this??

I was beginning to think that it was just me!!!!!! Surely my 'Valued opinion' is still a 'Valued opinion' whether I am 35 or 34. I appreciate that companies target a certain age range, but it frustrates me that they have asked me my opinion on several questions, ask me my age & then tell me that I am not eligible. What a cheap way to collect a lot of data! They pay a few, but the rest of us give away a heck of lot more in info.

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.

Nickmack - thanks for recommending That's What I Think. I hadn't heard of them. I'm not happy with Valued Opinions so I've just signed up with T.W.I.T. and will give them a try.

Grr just had the one on travel which I think screened me out. This is the first time I've experienced this as before have been screened out really quickly whereas this time I thought it took a lot longer ( am sure more than the 1-15 qs they say) and also asked loads of questions which I can't see were relevant to only travel.

Valued Opinions are a waste of time at the moment. I've been turned down for about the last half-dozen surveys, but only after answering seemingly endless screener questions - once I thought I was actually getting to the end of a survey only to be told I wasn't needed.

I have been a member for 6 months + in this time I have had quite a few surveys but only eligiable for a couple I have £3.5 in my account. The one that really got me was one that was for £3.50 completed the survey and it was pending then disappeared I emailed VO and was told I probably didn't complete it properly or did it too quick, I remember this particular one and it took me an hour, and I answered in full, since then this has totally put me off.

The best survey I did was one for TNS (nectar points) where I earnt 1500 points for 1/2 hour work - these can be converted to adams vouchers for £15

I haven't had a problem with them so far. I used to always get Amazon vouchers (would get the code straight away!), this time I have applied for an offline voucher after having done a £15 survey ...... so, in the past 2 week, I have got £25 put into MVO account :j
