valued opinions

sunsetsal

Hi I've been using valued opinions since the start of the month, after a friend recommended I try it. I was quite impressed to start with, got quite a lot of surveys but I've been stuck at £8 for about two weeks and I log in every day to check. Is it always like this? I'm not expecting to make a fortune on the site it just seems odd that it dried up all of a sudden. If anyone with more experience on the site can tell me what to expect I would be greatful, thank you in advance.

It happens on all sites occasionally, get loads, then a dry patch. If you get no surveys AT ALL for 3-4 weeks it's worth firing off an email as a few people (me included) have had their account suspended, for no apparent reason and no warning. But a couple of weeks is not out of the ordinary

thank you for your response, I appreciate it. I guess I must learn to be patient

That's why most people sign up to a few sites, the odds are when one goes quiet then another will have surveys available (though sod's law says they almost inevitably all go quiet then ALL bombard you with surveys )

I didn't want too many, I don't have a lot of free time. I do this and swagbucks at the moment.

What else would you recommend? I can see what youre saying, don't keep all your eggs in one basket!

Well two others that have been most reliable long term for me would be MySurvey (LINK) and Ipsos (LINK). Though every person fits a different profile so what is good site for one person is not guaranteed good for another. They are both reliable though and low payout thresholds so if you don't have much luck with them just get to your first payment and leave

Anyone else trying to complete the Newspaper Diary survey, I've been doing it for the whole of March, logs in today and can't access Friday's as it always works a day behind. Think I've lost £7.50, have emailed them.

I have been doing the Newspaper Diary too and I was able to complete Friday's about 30 minutes ago.

Anyone else have a problem with getting to the end of a survey and then getting the message to say you have been unsuccessful? Several times i have got to 100% on the bar and then had a message saying i have been screened out. A little peeved because lost about £6 because of this. Have emailed them and they never got back to me.
