Valued Opinions

Hello,

I received a survey invite email, but when I tried the link it said that the survey was full and that they'd try to find me another survey with one of thier partners.

Having completed that one, I tried the link again, and again VO searched for another survey from its partners. I completed this, and then tried the link again. same thing happened.

Different surveys each time BTW, each paying different amounts (with the reward apparently being added to my account within 28 days)

Either I've stumbled upon the holy grail of surveys, or else I'm doing surveys for nothing if they don't get credited to me. Has anyone else ever had an experience like this? Will they be paid?

Cheers,

TEs

  • Unfortunately I'm having that problem also I have been doing this for a year and they've never paid out as can't reach threshold at 1 in 10 of their surveys doesnt work.

    Have you tried Consumer Pulse and MySurvey.co.uk

    No - each survey I'm doing is getting completed. I'm thinking taht I'm on to a winner, but it seems to good to be true (it only works out at around £6 p/h-ish if they all get paid, but it's much easier than waiting for new emails each day).

    If they are likely to be paid then I'll knuckle down and bash through them...

    Shall I make the most of it while it's available, or shall I not waste too much time in case they don't pay?

    Update:

    I've just logged in and all the surveys are individually showing as pending, with the correct payments next to each.

    Unfortunately, the link has run out of surveys for me, so it looks like it was just a purple patch. Ah well. I'll try the link again tomorrow!!!!

    Hopefully some of you could try doing what I did if you find yourself in the same situation.

    Hi Trentenders,

    With VO if you don't fit the bill for the survey they send you they check all their other surveys and sometimes ask you to fill in a little more information about yourself so they can update your profile making you more eligable. You should be able to see all the surveys you could do by going to your account page :)

    I like VO they just paid out a £10 Amazon voucher to me within seconds of me requesting it :)
  • I also like VO and have had several vouchers from them over the last year or so. Make sure your profile is as complete as possible to get lots of surveys thrown your way though. xx

  • VO is generally good. Its a pain having to wait for the credits to be applied to your account. However, once they are applied and you request your payment, they are very efficient. I've just got a £10 tesco voucher which took about 7 working days to arrive.
    Survey Earnings saved towards Christmas 2011: £35 and counting!
