    I like V.O. as they gave me my £10 Amazon code redemption within a few minutes. (Toluna can be weeks to months on reviews!)

    I manage to complete 1/3 (after quotas/screen outs/incompletes etc) of invitations. (Toluna is about 1/5)

    About £20 in 3 months. (Toluna £30 but so much effort!!!)
  • Echo the feelings here. Especially about the Amazon vouchers arriving within a few minutes - a code via email. The surveys can take up to 28 days to credit after taking them, which can sometimes be frustrating for an impatient person who wants to make an Amazon purchase, but I have probably had 3 x £10 amazon vouchers at least in the last 6 months. That's pretty nice for 10 minutes clicking now and then.

    I also rate globaltestmarket - takes longer to reach the payout and you screen out of a lot, but after about 25 surveys you'll get a cheque for £30ish. Which is rather nice.
  • I do the Valued Opinions surveys and get mine paid in Tescos gift cards. They always come within a few days of me requesting them.

    My problem is that I don't have kids or drink or I'm sure I would get selected for far more surveys!!
    April 2006 - owed just over £30k (the evils of relationship breakup!)
    December 2011 - owe just under £3.5k!!!
    February 2012 - owe just under £1900 (keep the overtime coming!)
    May 2012 - owe £600...

    I did an Ipsos Access Panel survey and it credited immediately. I don't know how long (they say 6 weeks) for any e or paper vouchers?


    Valued O. £ credit slow, E. Rewards Quick


    Ipsos AP Points quick, Rewards 6 weeks?


    Toluna Points slow, Rewards Slow
  • I'm with V.O and My Survey or whatever they are - they keep changing,
    After over a year I finally cashed in at crimbo for some amazon vouchers on both sites, both came in within a few days (which my son helped me to spend as I didn't understand it much) - about £25!!
    not much for all the hours I've put into it, but I got 2 presents for the old g*t and a book for me.
    Easy to do but with family working in retail I get rejected from most surveys.
    Give it a go if you have time to spare.

    I think your income seems to be the main factor, the wealthier you are, the more influence you have on others the more they seem to want your survey answers.

    Hi Jennie. I thought that sounded a bit strange because presumably if you were well off, you wouldn't need to go onto such a site in the first place? I don't know maybe it's a sign of the times.

    I will say that while I am new to this whole business of opinion websites, I think Valued Opinions are very good. I signed up in October last year and already I've received £20 of Amazon vouchers (one of which I received on Christmas week which I wasn't at all expecting even if it was electronically). That's great service if ever I saw one. :beer:

    So as others have said it's not enough to pay bills, but only a fool would turn down £80+ a year for a few surveys that don't last that long anyway (same length of time as some people's fag breaks).
  • Hello everyone. I have been a member of Valued Opinions for about 18 months now. in the period of November 2010 - November 2011 I managed to earn £100 in vouchers. I always redeem them in November so that I get them in plenty of time for Xmas. I would like to say though, that I am a housewife, my partner is retired and we do not have a large income - but I still have plenty of surveys to complete. I have found that the more surveys I complete, the more I get invited to participate in. I also earned £40 with Maximiles and £70 with Ipsos. I have also received many free products to try over the last few months ie Washing Powder, Fabric Conditioner, Deoderant, Self Tan, Kitchen Roll, and Surface Wipes. I recommend surveys as an easy way to save for Christmas, birthdays etc with very minimal effort.
