I do far fewer VO surveys than I used to for all the reasons given. VO did give me my largest ever survey reward of all companies, £164 last year, but it was a LOT of work as well. Probably more than ten hours when I added all the time spent on it up.
I like Ipsos the best, I think. Unlike VO you get some reward for spending 5 minutes and then being screened out. 10 points is better than the proverbial kick in the teeth. I also tend to get more products to test from them.

I have just searched for Ipsos and it takes me to a site called i-say.co*, is this the one you use? I have replaced the m with an * as I don't like leaving links.

I agree I do get fed up with getting screened out of about 80% of the surveys when is all they have asked is what is on my VO profile or starting the survey within seconds of receiving it only to be told they have had an overwhelming response.

Yup, that's the one, they rebranded a couple of months ago

Does Valued Opinions shut down over the Christmas period or something? I was getting a survey every other day or so up to the end of November, and then nothing since.

It has been OK for me - in fact I even received an Amazon voucher on 30 Dec.


Might be an idea to contact them in case your account has been blocked for some reason,

Thought I was about to get a decent payment of £30 for 1 hour survey offered to me but surprise, surprise didn't qualify!!


I do quite like Valued Opinions though as I seem to be able to reach £10 most months.

Hhmmm, I wonder if they've done the same with me (although no reason to) as I've seen a dramatic drop in surveys too, just one yesterday since mid December.

The problem is I have an horrendous memory and so most of the time when they ask questions about past activities I'm guessing. And then they ask the same question again in a different way and won't let you go back to check previous answers, so I guess again and probably give different answers.

It's also annoying when I realise that I have read a question a wrong or have entered an incorrect answer, that they won't let you go back to check/change anything.
