    I think valued opinions are going the same way as ciao and test & vote by screening you out half way through a survey, I think its very dishonest :mad:

    it was the first time it had happened to me. usually after the screening questions of sex, age, relationship status and whether you use x product they say yes or no. this time i did a huge survey (no i wasnt doing it slowly) on cars so they got all the info and didnt pay out cos i didnt qualify.
    usually valued opinions have been excellent with me. I've earnt over £60 with them so far

    Im really happy with ciao actually. They send me surveys quite often and yesterday i did a survey that paid me £4.40 for 65mins. It actually only took me about 25mins so i was really happy. I had to go onto asdas electrial section and see how easy it was to find a certain item and find info about it (returns etc) ive earned about £16 from Ciao in a month (this is a good month for me)

    I also recieved £1 in my paypal account for doing a survey with a company but i cant remeber which one. Could anyone tell me who this is as i would like to do more surveys with them?

    Thanks

    ive done surveys before, some have lasted 5 minutes and others have last 10/15 minutes before im told that i cant continue as i dont qualify, i dont have a problem with it, i just put up with it, id rather not waste my time in doing a post about it

    That's deceitful, downright dishonest, but I like your style! :T

    I think if they find out you are lying they can cancel your whole account - it depends on how much data they have about you, but if they can see that you logged in and gave different answers on the survey to the details they have stored for you they would be well within their rights to cancel your account including anything already earnt!

    I am not trying to be the voice of morality here, just warning you that you might want to try this technique AFER withdrawing money so that you don't lose out if you get caught!
