    What? That's completely absurd! I've only just started using Valued Opinions and have always done the surveys properly and without taking the mick, taking due time over them, etc. I wish I could remember which survey it was, now!

    Edit: Oop, I think I remember it now. It was the one about sauces. The only thing I can think of is that they might have thought the fact that my emphasis on money-saving was a bit repetitive. Saying that the main reason I buy things like pasta sauces are because they're cheap, regardless of brand or advertising. I only told the truth!

    Hi, I am in a similar situation to Spike87. I have 11 surveys pending payment. The oldest is 21/02/2012. I have e-mailed VO and received a standard reply. On a positive note, a few of the more recent surveys have been paid this week!

    I had this happen to me last month and I emailed Isabel asking why I hadn't been rewarded and stating that I had completed the survey fairly (I think mine had been for £1.50). She added the credit to my account manually instead. It might be worth emailing?

    hi, i just went to claim a couple of vouchers today and amazon e voucher has totally gone :eek: i tried the other day and it said this voucher is currently unavailable it also showed another e voucher but not sure which one.

    I emailed them because I was only doing it for Amazon vouchers as well, and got a reply saying Amazon vouchers will be back as an option in the next couple of weeks.

    Yes I went to cash out the other day too and found that both Amazon and Tesco vouchers were unavailable - those are the only ones of any use to me!

    New user, and built up & cashed £10 on 22/05/2012. My Tesco gift card was issued 29/05 and had arrived between 04/06 - 08/06/2012 (was on holiday). Assuming it works (!) I'm happy (£4.50 in the bank and another £2.75 pending as of today).

    Looks like they've added 'eventim' as a reward now, still no Tesco though
