ive just done a survey for valued opinions about my car, it took me nine minutes and after asking loads of questions i got screened out it seems to take longer and longer to get screened out, surely they could screen out earlier, with global market they only ask 3 or 4 questions before qualifying or not and at least you get 5 points when you dont qualify has anyone else had this problem

i ahd the same but on the good side just recievd my tescos voucher from them

I used to use this site but like others I often spent a lot of time to be told I didn't qualify, eventually I decided that I had better things to do with my time.

totaly agree with you, i wasted enough time with these i too have got better things to do, ive never known any of the other survey sites take so long except maybe ciao which i never qualify for them or the brainjuicer ones

Don't get me wrong. I love VO. I've taken out £60 of amazon vouchers and I have around another £20 of credit total in my account, even if the number and quality of surveys seem to have dwindled. The voucher codes arrive almost instantly.

I'm rarely ever screened out of their surveys after the first few minutes, but when it does happen it's always after a relatively sizeable investment of time. It wouldn't be so bad if you got some credit for it like GTM's 5 points, but a sweepstakes entry is hardly inspiring.

Then again, there was that one survey that wanted me to answer something like 250 questions for 50-75p of credit...

Yes, I have the same problem with Valued Opinions.

i once emailed isabel about it and she tried to justify it by saying "when youve been screened out we dont use the information that you have given us" i dont believe that because why would they let us get so far if they werent going to use it, there wouldnt be any point

Interesting ... I've often wondered about that!

When I first joined VO this never happened, you were only offered surveys you were qualified to do, no screening necessary. But then it changed and it's now like Ciao. I never qualify anymore and I've given up with it. Why should I waste my time only to be told I don't qualify.

yea i find that - but most annoyin is one of the sites they link to which always has a broken part half way through e.g. select your 3 favourtie tv channels - NOTHING HAPPENS!


overall this is still the best survey site for me, seems to be the only one ive got consistant payments from, stuff like yougov nvr have paid surveys - just draws.

What annoys me most about VO is waiting for them to add pending points!! They take forever to do this.

Had very few problems with Valued Opinions. When being screened out it's usually very quickly.

Had quite a few surveys from them recently, one for £5 which was a Brainjuicer one.

They do seem to be very slow at sending out tokens these days. I claimed one a few weeks ago and pending points total around £20.
