    Ive just earnt my first pound on Valued opinions, here's to many more I hope. Are there any experienced VO members out there? Im just wondering how frequently the surveys come through. xx

    Hi now a mum&skint!
    I've been a member since well before christmas (I was hoping to earn extra pennies for the festive season) they sent weekly surveys at first with rewards of £1.00....then when I got up to £4.00 I started getting 25p rewards. (Felt they were stalling to the minimum reward amount perhaps??)
    Since November I have made £6.00!! Bearing in mind we don't always qualify for all the surveys.
    Being a mum, you should try their 'sister' site.....mums opinions.
    American consumer opinions are also worth taking a look at. You get a £3 cheque; received no problems for each survey completed (well thats in my experience)
    Good luck hun, hope this has helped x

    Valued opinions looks fantastic, i registered yesterday and have even completed one survey. I have a problem logging in though, using my log in details it says that there is an technical error on the page, has any one any ideas what i am doing wrong.
    p.s this is my first time on these boards too.

    My first accepted survey was 16/9/2006 with VO. I've had £5 Amazon voucher and currently £4.00 in my account.

    I prefer Brain Juicer as there surveys are generally more interesting and not so long, I done my first survey 01-Nov-2006 and had £5 Amazon voucher and £3.75 in my account.

    I started Lightspeed on 18/8/06 and redeemed 2x £5 vouchers for Amazon and HMV and currently have £7.55 in the kitty so they win by miles!!

    I used to love Quickwise (now Opinonbar) had £10 pay out very quickly and got £5.15 in my account, it's been quiet for ages though!!

    When my Valued Opinion rewards hit £5 I generally cash them in for an Amazon voucher. Did this yesterday and the voucher code was emailed within 5/10 minutes.

    Hello! ive actually been able to do a survey at long last! they have been sending me various surveys to do, for over a year now and up untill now ive never been suitable or theyd had enough people already kind of thing.

    Ive got to do this diary thing, over a week....done two days so far....taking ages to fill out though not sure if its my internet connection or something. it's worth £5, so im sticking with it! hope theres more to come!

    I've been on VO for a couple of years and have claimed £20 in Amazon vouchers - they arrived within a day or so (although there was a problem pre-Christmas when Amazon vouchers were not available for some reason!)
    The 'pending' flag does take a while to go, but it should eventually clear through.
    I agree with the poster who complained about completing 80% of the survey only to be bounced out due to not qualifying - at least when BrainJuicer does this, they credit your account with 25p!
    Au Res.,

  • ive been with them a couple of years and my total is £2.50 with £2 pending still...i dont think they like me much lol...
  • valued opinions still pretty good for me. Takes a while for their vouchers to arrive though
    :D
