Beware sites with 'tricky' conditons about rewards!

In the last couple of weeks I have encountered two such sites.
Valued Opinions now say they will deduct 50p from your rewards when you try to claim them because, they say, it costs them more to buy the vouchers as they are buying more of them.
I don't believe this can be justified in law since they only tell you after you have earned the reward and not before you begin!
IndexPounds say that after claiming a cheque with your rewards you have "To receive payment your account must be active on processing date. Stay active by logging into your account, confirming PaidEmails® or participating in onsite activities.". If you don't then the cheque is cancelled and your rewards don't get sent to you!!!
I believe this also would not stand up to a claim in court.
If you've earned it then they should not deduct it or withhold it from you.
