unfair or not?Valued opinons

Ive just joined the website Valued Opinons(survey site). They asked me to fill in a form, which i thought was a questionaire-turns out to be registration for a music site to do with Sony. Apprently i didnt reach the grade so didnt get paid. Yet i still got sent a email from Sony saying they'll consider my resgistration.
Sony have my details and i think its a bit unfair that i havnt been given anything yet still signed up to them. Is this normal pratice?
Am i the only one who thinks thats unfair?

Thanks

    You are certainly not the only one with an opinion of Valued Opinions.

    There is a lengthy thread here on them. Currently at over 1560 posts.
  • I think this is unfair practice, but i guess it depends how long you spent filling it in and whether you read all the small print?

    I have been participating in online surveys and product testing for a long time now and in general I do like valued opinions as a paid online survey website. However if after your bad experience you are looking to join a new survey website I would definitely recommend:

    https://www.panelopinion.co.uk - They have a low cash out rate, which means once you earn over £10 you can take your money without being tired into their website...I have made a lot of money on here and would recommend it to everyone!

    https://www.surveyfriends.co.uk - Unfortunately this website does not pay you cash, instead vouchers and prizes (TV's etc) BUT i think it is very easy to win on there lol, which is why i am recommending it!


    Good Luck :)
    :eek: 2014: £20 voucher from SurveyFriends, £10 cash payout from Panel Opinion too and working towards more from Valued Opinions currently.
    2013: £35 and £50 vouchers from SurveyFriends! More than £15 made from other paid surveys sites (Yougov, Panel Opinion, Valued Opinions, Pinecone, etc.) Happy so far!

    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Popadom I think you are better off without Valued Opinions.
    I have been a member for quite a while now and so far have only completed one survey, they send me new ones almost daily and I go through the initial assessment to make sure I'm eligible, continue onto the survey only to get to 70-80% of the way through and often taking up 20+ minutes and then they decide they don't need me and I don't meet their criteria. I refuse to waste my time on there anymore and use others instead.

    This was a recommendation from my personal survey experience, there are numerous other good survey websites I could have listed but in my opinion they are two of the best ones I have tried.
