valued opinions

Does anybody know if, at the time of redemption of the offline voucher, one can give a different address (eg work), or will they send it to the address in profile?

I believe it is sent to the address on the profile. This would be more secure for the user anyway.

Is anyone on the Taste Time panel, the pizza questionnaires? If so do you know what we are being reimbursed?

With Valued Opinions, once you get to the right number of points, claiming a voucher is not a problem and they are sent reasonably quickly. The issue with V.O is the way they time so many people out of the surveys, especially when you have spent quite a few minutes filling in enough to warrant a reward but are then told "We have enough people" or else "You are not suitable" or some rubbish about not suited to their demographics. This is one of the worst companies to do this. They must be VERY selective who they take...martians perhaps? Hence it is now taking a lot longer to build up to the £10.50. than ever

Of all the survey sites I use (and excluding Swagbucks, which is a GPT site) Valued Opinions is the one that got me the fastest to £10.50. I'm two months in and I am ready to cash two gift cards. I haven't redeemed yet, so I can't say how good they are at paying out.

I totally agree with this- along with the email that comes several months later reading "you finished that survey you did xx months ago too quickly; it proves to us you faked your answers..." (which to anyone wading through repetitious survey after repetitious survey knows is not proof of anything but knowing the format backwards) "...(continued)...and if you do this again we'll throw you off the site and take all your voucher points".


I think they should at least have a tally logged where if you get thrown off 10 surveys where you spent time answering more than 5 questions, you get 10 points or similar- many more people would feel less annoyed at sites like these if they didn't waste your time asking you questions when they know they have enough people or you get about 10 minutes through then cancel your survey without reason and say you do not fit the criteria (funnily enough after giving your hand typed opinion several times over on a specific product, advert or idea).

I generally get kicked out as soon as I click on a link saying my profile doesn't match so my experiences are a bit dfferent.. Of course there have been surveys where I had to answer questions and kicked out too but happens across the all sites so I don't mind that much.

Some survey companies actually do this where they say You will get 5 or 10 points where you do not qualify. At least you feel your time is not completely wasted. Ciaccino, well done on getting the vouchers. I used to get a voucher once a month but now it is so much harder. Maybe age or working status has something to do with it?

Yes indeed but most put them into a prize draw that no one ever seems to win
Someone had a thread at boost your income forums about this - s/he moved age brackets and surveys became scarce. I think demographics indeed play a big part.

Has anyone else received any points for completing surveys since Valued Opinion's website was 'upgraded'?

I've completed several surveys, but my reward amount hasn't increased!

Have also noticed that when I've completed a survey, the landing page finishes with 'au' and not co.uk. I am unable to log into this page, but can at the site ending co.uk.

Have sent an email to VO, but wondering whether others are experiencing any problems.
