Still awaiting a £5 voucher from these. Waiting for £10 from Lightspeed, and £10 from Ipsos. And £20 from Pigsback

I checked out the Lightspeed rewards page, it says you get vouchers, but what are the vouchers for?

I'm waiting for £15 of HMV vouchers, of which their 28days allowance for delivery has now past and they're ignoring my emails.

I also completed a survey the other day for £1.50, and when I clicked on the link after I'd finished the survey it said 'Sorry the page you are requesting does not exist', I then pressed the back button and it said 'sorry you have already completed this survey', I wonder how many other people they've conned with this little trick?

They're also ignoring my email about this matter, they've gone very two bit of late.

I agree, they used to be brilliant but they have went way downhill as of the past few months. I've been with them for years (even before they were Valued Opinions and were called The Mobile Channel), used to get lots of invites to surveys, I made about £40 doing surveys over about a year.

Now however the amount of info they want before they see whether you are eligible or not for a survey is just a joke. I sat and filled in a survey for about 5 mins last month detailing my age, gender, where abouts i live, computer usage, my isp, how many hours online etc only to be told i didn't qualify, surely i could've been told that in a minute or two! It just seems like a con now where they get as much info as poss out of you without having to pay. I emailed to this extent but never heard nothing back.

In the past year I've only earnt about £10 from them. It's a shame because it did used to be a good site.

Exactly the same thing happened to me earlier this week - I provided loads of info, only to be told that I didn't qualify! Very disappointed.

Too bad they are the only market research company (correct me if I'm wrong) which pays in Tesco gift cards. I know Pinecone pay luncheon vouchers (which can be used at Tesco too), but I'm not registered with them, so VO really is my only source of Tesco vouchers.

thats started happening with test&vote, I got so cross one day so I emailed them and asked for the points to be awarded, and they did. Another culprit (worse one) is ciao

You're so right Scarlett1. I have recently been sent a survey, and I had to watch something, and then tell them my impressions of that 'thing'. I watched it, then wrote down my answers to several questions, and then, suddenly, I was told I didn't qualify.

Still waiting for their reply to my email. :rolleyes:
