    Have you noticed that when you do a survey now, your account is credited immediately?

    It used to be an instant credit for me, now it appears I have been reverted back to the old system of waiting again as I've now got three pending payments (2 showing in my account and 1 for a larger survey).

    This might be down to cash flow issues or Amazon simply not having generated enough gift codes and sent them out. Either way it's a pain and will make me less likely to build up points, despite the risk of blowing the rewards once acquired.
    Facebook post is now suggesting available again by the end of November.
  • Typical! I've been saving up my rewards for a light from Amazon - got to over £70, and now not available! :( I guess we could go for the shopping vouchers and spend the food money on Amazon instead! But vouchers took weeks to arrive last time. Not happy!
  • I'm on £9.75 with £1 pending

    Mildly annoying, but oh well, what can you do eh? :-)

    Word to the wise - never let that much accrue on a points based/survey website. You never know if the whole website might go bust or disappear and with it, your points. Amazon codes are typically valid for at least 12 months, mostly more, so you would be advised to cash out sooner in future.

    I tend to cash out the moment I hit the minimum and apply the code straight away to my gift balance on Amazon until I'm ready to use. That way it doesn't get lost.

    Hope they're back soon...

    Actually, the latest Amazon e-vouchers I got from ValuedOpinions expire in 2015… go figure.

    AMAZON UPDATE:

    A bit of good news.

    We’ve solved the problem and we’ll be making AMAZON vouchers available to redeem again. We can only make AMAZON live in a staged approach and so AMAZON is available to redeem on the UK panel.

    We regret that AMAZON is still not available for our US members. We’re working on making AMAZON available for members in the USA by mid next week.

    Thank you for being patient with us and apologies for the inconvenience caused.
