They certainly won't close your account in this way. (Btw, notice that the link isn't to VO, but to a totally unconnected freebies website.)

Speaking of that link, I thought it looked like a good site.....clicked through to pinecone but when I tried to look at their FAQ my IP flashed up a warning saying i was attemting to connect to a fraudulent site.

The terms and conditions from Valued Opinions website regarding 3 months rule are:

3.3 The member is obliged to claim payment from Research Now via the procedures set out on the website for the amount in their Account within three months of the amount in their Account reaching the level of the Reward. Should the member fail to contact Research Now to claim payment for their Reward within the time specified in this Clause 3.3 the member will not be entitled to receive payment for the reward and Research Now shall clear the member’s Account which will be reset to zero.

I read that as being when you reach enough money in your reward balance (£10) to claim a voucher you have to claim a voucher within 3 months or the balance will be reset. It does not mean that if you dont reach £10 within 3 months then your balance will be reset. The only reason I can see for this rule is to prevent people from claiming vouchers in bulk.

I haven't had any problems with Valued Opinions in the past and have always received my vouchers within 28 days. Since March 2005 I have had £105 in vouchers from them and I currently have £9.50 reward balance with £4.50 pending.

That sounds a bit more reasonable than what was implied on a previous post. :T

£10 Boots voucher ordered in August arrived this morning, so perhaps they really were waiting for the vouchers to come in before they could clear the backlog

I ordered my first voucher last week for HMV. I recieved it in the post this morning.

Thanks for the tip off about this. My balance seems to have gone to zero too. I only had a couple of pounds in it as I've recently joined, but its still annoying. I will make a record of all my VO surveys in future!!!

Hi.

just received an e-mail with the offer to join valued opinions.

Wondering if anyone has had any experiences with them and is it worth it?

Cheers :beer:
