Good survey's getting rewards

I enjoy these surveys (most of them I have been w/ the survey site co for long time dont remember yrs) I get quite a bit most of them qualify for few dont but I have been getting rewards of gift cards once a while its nice to get them to use for doing surveys, I haven's had any problems w/ their site.

Qualification for each survey can take a while and there is no reward if you do not qualify. They take a while to post the payouts but I have been paid each time I request a payout. I would recommend this site, but don't expect to earn heaps.

A Rip Off
by John, Nov 29 '11

I regularly complain about their surveys via the OPTMUS server which seem to fail TOO frequently.
Also I questioned their method of "checking suitability for a survey". In many cases you answer 30%+ of their questions before they decide you are unsuitable. A CHEAP way of gathering responses. yet they ask you to provide information, based upon which they will invite you to participate!!!
No matter how many times I ask why my rewards are not credited (well beyond 28 days in their stats), always get same pointless response - basically ignoring my question. Even when they do finally credit, you will find that as you near the £10 to claim, your "pending rewards" are in "limbo" so you cannot deduct YOUR earnings.

One of the best
by Mick, Nov 23 '11

I'm quite surprised by the number of negs this panel gets. They send out regular invitations to surveys that are usually interesting and relevant to my profile. I get a few rejections but usually before I've imparted lots of useful answers. In addition to surveys I've been invited by them to test phone apps, trial products and carry out extended diary type surveys which always pay well. Credits take a while to be added to my tally. I earn about £30 every 4 months which they pay in the form of vouchers of your choice. These usually arrive in 2 - 3 weeks.
Certainly one of my favourites.

VO terminated my account for unspecified "user violations." I reviewed their "policies." If I am guilty of some obscure failing, I dont knnow what it might be. I requested that my account balance be sent to me. I've received no response. I can only assume that that too is a part of their policy.

I don't qualify it seems for many of their surveys. I do not like the time it takes to be disqualified, but that is their rule, not mine. I have cashed out once, I think. I will stay with them and if any problem arise, then I'm out.

Worst of 7
by Michael, Jul 15 '11

I belong to 7 different survey panels. This one is easily the worst. They almost never have surveys for me - I don't average even one per week. When I do get the occasional survey I usually qualify but after 4 months I still haven't reached the $10 level. Compare that to Surveyhead where I've already earned more than $80 in the same timeframe.

They are good but used to be better. The main complaint I have is that they take so long to pay out. It takes a while to reach the $20 payout level, but then it takes weeks and weeks to receive payment. In addition, they used to pay with Visa cards but now they offer Amazon cards instead.

screened out AFTER completing surveys
by D, May 26 '11

I have been a member of valued opinions au for around 3 years. I have recently returned to give them another go after not logging in for a year for 2 reasons.
1. rewards stay in the pending credits column for months before becoming available
2.It is the single worst survey company i know of for screening you out at the end of the survey, after they have collected your personal information and after you have answered all the questions required to complete the survey.
Unfortunately the time out didnt help because valued opinions still operates in the same manner, so in my opinion - yes - valued opinions is a scam.

Not credited for survey
by James, Apr 10 '11

Did a survey on 4/9/11 and did the follow up on 4/10/11. When I got to the end of the survey they asked if I was willing to do surveys from them in the future and when I clicked yes it went to a page that gave me some B.S. excuse. I will not get my payment for the survey. They will use any excuse to keep from paying. If there was a problem then why allow me to do the follow up.

Can't Complain Too Much I Guess
by Rebecca, Apr 07 '11

I've been a member for about 2 years and so far have gotten $60 worth of Visa gift cards and $60 worth of Amazon gift cards...so I suppose I really can't complain too much. I do delete most of the emails I get from them because they do ask a ton of questions and I don't qualify for most surveys and when you do qualify for a survey, the credits are pending for over a month before they post to your account. The Visa gift cards are no longer offered, but when they were they were only valid for 3 months after date of issue, something I wish I would have known before I recv'd them. Overall, not too bad I guess.

by James, Apr 06 '11

I've been taking their surveys for about 6 months and have cashed out $80 so far, in Amazon vouchers. Their incentives are fair, $1 for 10 min survey, $2 for 20 min, etc. They usually send me at least 1 invite per day, and I qualify for about half of them. Also they have sent me several test products, mostly things like shampoo, deodorants and fragrances. I haven't had any problems with them so I'd have to disagree with these recent bad reviews. I'd definitely recommend joining, they're #6 on my list.

There must be people paid to give them good reviews
by Gregory, Jan 28 '11

This company so often gathers data by asking you a myriad of questions and then telling you that you do not qualify. Therefore, they got much of the information they wanted for free. Companies like Ipsos i-say and e-rewards and mySurvey give you some points (and immediately), even if you don't qualify. Valued Opinions is a waste of time.

Rewards are terrible
by Jim, Dec 28 '10

This is a decent survey company. Their available rewards are for 3 different gift card. Cards are only for Blockbuster, Macy's and I think a flower company.
Logistic problems they say are keeping them from having a Visa card. But if you like those gift cards, then this one is for you.
I personaly do not like getting paid with something I do not use. I do not like them telling me where to spend my rewards.
With this, I left the company because of their rewards.
But like I said earlier, if you like the 3 gift cards then go for it. Not a bad company to work with.

Reputable company having temporary problems
by Mimi, Nov 17 '10

Some one has hacked into accounts on Valued Opinions, changed members sign-ons, & stolen their accumulated points. I know this because I sent emails to Customer Service, & was told that they would fix my account. They asked me to select a more secure password & reissued me a new Amazon gift card code soon after.
I've been doing their surveys for a few years and they've always paid me.
Don't give up on them, I think it's worth giving them a chance to straighten things out.

Pending surveys go missing
by Cindy, Nov 12 '10

This company used to be a decent survey company. Not anymore. For the past two months, I've had problems with pending surveys being removed from my account. I have to take screenshots of the awards/pending rewards page every day so that I have proof of the missing surveys. It takes costumer service nearly a month to respond to e-mail inquiries and add the money back to my account. They just aren't worth the trouble anymore. As soon as my pending rewards are paid and I can cash out, I'm done with them.

You answer multiple questions, but yet don't qualify
by Jeffrey, Sep 21 '10

So my biggest complaint about this website, is getting numerous Emails about surveys. You go there, answr 2 dozen questions about certain items, and then at the end either tell you you don't qualify, or no longer need any more applicants. What the heck was I answering questions the last 10 minutes for if I didn't qualify? It sounds like they BAIT you, to get to to answer questions, then tell you you don't qualify after you answer all the questions they want. Sure, Ive gotten a few bucks, but the majority of these surveys are BS.

good online survey experience
by Happypig, Sep 05 '10

i have been with Webperspectives (ValuedOpinion's Canadian website) for three months now. I already got $40 in my Paypal account, and there are $20 waiting to be redeemed.

This site sends me surveys almost everyday. And the points are credited after a while. It took me around 6 weeks to get the cash in my Paypal account.

I rarely post my opinion on the Internet, but this time I feel I have the responsibility to provide advice for people who want to do online survey, as I remember 3 months ago, when I just got the intention of doing online survey, I am very eager to get reliable information.

Valued Opinions is legit
by Joseph, Aug 03 '10

I think Valued Opinions is great. They send me many survey opportunities paying between $1-4.

The surveys are fairly interesting. Really, just like all the other sites. I took a really different one today that had animated animals and stuff.

I also got an invite to some technology community from being a member of valued opinions. This community has forums and stuff that you post on and they give Amazon gift cards as incentives.

I get credited for the surveys immediately upon completion, but you have to wait the allotted time before it becomes available for withdraw.

I cashed out a $20 amazon gift card and it came immediately to my email.

I would recommend this site to anyone.

Not So Great
by Kevin, May 29 '10

The rewards take forever to arrive in the mail. They do offer an Amazon.com reward to your e-mail, but you're limited to what you can get on Amazon.

Customer service is *horrible*. It takes days to get a response, and the responses were usually unhelpful.

There are also technical issues with surveys, where rewards would not be put into "pending" status. There are times spent answering *a lot* of questions before finding out you're out. I watched a 30-minute video before they told me they had reached their quota. In that instance, customer service was of absolutely no help. Further, I unsubscribed from their e-mail alerts because I was through with them, but I did have money still pending that I wanted to claim. They deleted my profile a day after, so I don't think I'll see that money.

I would not recommend these people at all. You can get some spare change after answering *a lot* of surveys, but you won't be treated fairly if you have any problems. They don't care.

Not credited
by Mike, May 20 '10

I have been a member of Valued Opinions for over a year and in that time I have been sent many surveys but I am only just reaching $10 credit. This is mainly because they keep disqualifying me after asking me over a dozen questions. Quite often they tell me they have reached a desired number of respondents for a survey, but only after asking me 10 questions!!!!! Surely they should know when they have reached the right numbers?

Also, some of my completed surveys have been removed from the pending list and I have not been credited for them.

I think they just try every trick in the book to get more surveys done without having to pay for them.

by Kaitlin, Apr 15 '10

This site is decent, especially compared to what's out there. Let's face it: most survey sites suck. It takes a while to get your rewards, but not as long as SurveyHead. I requested my Visa gift card and got it in 28-29 days. I remember I waited until the 28 days were up then emailed them, and I got it in the mail that day or the day after. One thing I don't like about the Visa card is that it says on the attached paper that if you go over, they charge you something like $25. So I'm going to be very careful not to go over. The surveys seem to be pretty good as far as amount of money for your time, and you have to wait a little while for them to be approved, some longer than others, but again, not as bad as SurveyHead. Cash out is $20. They send me a couple surveys a day and I only qualify about once a week. It took me about 2 1/2-3 months from when I started to when I could cash out.

by Tom, Jan 20 '10

I understand what people are writing about with regard to the Visa card. When I first joined that's what I did and it took forever (so forever that I completely forgot until it showed up). Then I started taking the Amazon option and it's instant upon earning $20 USD. You get the code right then and there, no fuss or anything and they even send you an instant email with the code.

wasted my time
by dennis, Jan 18 '10

I joined in June 09 and it took until November 09 to reach my first $20 cashout. I chose the $20 Visa gift card, however I have yet to receive it or a response to any of my emails concerning this matter. I requested the card on 11/26/2009. In addition, I had $5.00 in surveys pending for over two months before repeatedly emailing to have this amount credited so that I may cash out. According to their website all surveys should credit with 28 days and rewards should also be paid no later than 28 days after requesting. It's now approaching 8 weeks since my request. Seeing as I can't even get a response to find out what the hold up is, I have decided to suspend doing more of their surveys. I have only been doing surveys since June 09 and thankfully, I have always been paid by the other survey sites when it's time to cash out. I am truly beginning to wonder about Valued Opinions in this regard. Hopefully, it works out in the end.

It took me six months to get $20 with them to cash out. After 2-months of waiting for $2.50 to complete the amount, I wrote them and asked how much longer would it take for me to cash out. Theri response was that they were behind in their surveys and when I checked back 2weeks later, the $2.50 which was pending was taken off. I asked Why? they never wrote me back. What a wast of my valuable time, they get paid for turning in these surveys and I can't get a measly $20. Wow!!!!!

Decent
by Mark, Dec 18 '09

I got an error from this site for inconsistencies in my data. I have been a member over a year and I am told that somehow something got compromised. It seems like garbage that after a year of doing surveys that they would all of a sudden invalidate my account. Valued is a decent company that does pay and the opportunities are numerous just be careful. I dont know what it will take or what they are seeing customer service referred me to their member agreement but nothing under that shows what happend that I can recall. I have been able to make about 40-60 a month most times and they do a decent job of paying.

Not Too Bad
by Monet, Nov 02 '09

the incentives are not bad considering the time spent on the surveys. I requested an amazon gift cert. and got that immediately and requested my gift card and got it today-- exactly 28 days. Not bad of a site, it gets kinda hard to qualify for surveys, but I keep at em :)

Members Service on VACATION
by Michael, Sep 15 '09

Had a problem with being rewarded for a completed survey so I contacted member services. NO Acknowledgement of contact, NO reply, NO nothing. Tried three times...all with same results. I am not concern about the credit for the survey, since that is not an issue now. I am frustrated that you sign up as a member, get invited to complete a survey and are being advised...need help contact us...and when you do...nobodys home. Not a reliable network...recommend investing your time that will invest time in their support.

Tactics?
by Emily, Aug 29 '09

For some strange reason, they appear to boot people for no apparent reason. Saying numerous accounts, taking surveys outside your registered country, etc. Obvious to rid of ones who claim their gift cards.
Becoming a scam? Hope not. They once were a decent site to work with. Maybe taking lessons from OTX. Shame.

It Takes A Long Time
by Gwen, Aug 23 '09

I installed that software for installing Nielson and finally got $22.50 but it took about 7 - 8 months for them to credit me. I also emailed them about it not showing as pending and Isabel said that it wouldn't show up. I was supposed to have gotton credited within 3 months but it took a lot longer. They aren't too bad tho. I've gotten paid in Amazon rewards and now I'm waiting for my Visa card. Hopefully it gets to me soon.

This is how surveys should be run
by Kevin, Aug 18 '09

While there are times that I get very few surveys from this company, the majority of the time I get 3 - 4 a week. They run alot of their own surveys and have very few errors, but occasionally their is one. If you email them they usually credit it to you if you are honest. The one thing that makes them stand out is after the survey closes and you are credited your reward, you can cash it in immediately for something. For example an Amazon gift card. They won't mail you a card with a number on it, they will immediately display it on the screen and email it to you. To many companies snail mail you a card and it takes 2 - 3 months to get it. Not here, they give it to you immediately after cashing in. More companys should follow this procedure.

no support from valued opinions
by nancy, Aug 11 '09

I have been a member there for a long time. Some time ago they offered me the option of installing a program that would "tracK" what I do on the internet. They said I'd be paid every quarter that I had the program.

I have never been paid for this and have emailed them numerous times. No one replied :(

by greg, Jul 28 '09

I have only been doing all these sites for a couple months, but this is another good one. They send me surveys everyday, and I qualify for at least half of em that they send. In a month I have earned thirty or so and I dont take every survey, I dont mind the gift card aspect, we shall see what they are after the pending stats come off, it would be nice to be able to browse the rewards before you get em, but anyways this site is solid.

Excellent Survey Company
by Rebecca, Jun 20 '09

My husband has been a member of Valued Opinions for quite a while now and has made a lot of money from them. They send surveys daily and the pay is usually quite fair. He has received numerous Amazon gift cards and Visa gift cards. Customer service is excellent. Any crediting issues have always been resolved. Valued Opinions and Opinion Outpost are our two favorite survey companies. They send a lot of surveys (that we actually qualify for, pay much better than most companies, and have good customer service).

Waste of Time
by Eileen, May 18 '09

After 6 weeks I have received 16 survey invitations. They were all directed to other survey sites, some were duplicate survey invitations, and I only qualified for one. For all the screeners they ask you to fill out, there is no excuse for sending so many inappropriate surveys. Some of the screeners went on for 5 to 10 minutes before I was disqualified. That is Unconscienable. The cash-out is $20 and I have only earned $2 in six weeks. I am quitting now before I waste more time.

Pretty good and they pay well
by jay, Apr 20 '09

Valued Opinion offers LOTS of surveys. Usually they send 3-5/wk or more. So, there's a lot of opportunity to get money. They don't pay cash-but offer several gift cards, inc. Visa check card-which is usu. what I get. I like the fact that they show you amts. for surveys that are still pending. My only gripe w/ them is that it takes a while for the pending "money" to be cleared so that u can cash out. Other than that-they're cool. I'd recommend them.

by karen, Apr 06 '09

I have contacted support a number of times about survey issues and have always received a timelyt response. recently i contacted them asking why after 3 months they have not creditted me for the surveys i have completed, i havent heard anything at all from them!

their surveys are long and the rewards for them are inadequate when you compare them to what other companies are paying. most companies these days pay between $12 and $16 (australian dollars) per hour but the average hourly rate for valued opinions is about $7

when you request a reward (if your earnings have been approved and credited) it arrives quickly which is great

Not too bad
by Joy, Mar 21 '09

Even though this company doesn't send out many surveys they are more worth while to take than anything that uses OTX surveys. If you don't qualify for a survey you don't answer 50+ questions to find out. Most survey incentives I have recieved are anywhere from 1-5 bucks. So far I have reached 20 bucks. yeah it has taken a little longer than I wanted to, but at least it's money and a fairly decent legit panel.

by Jennie, Feb 07 '09

OK, so I log on to these guys a few times a week, and also answer every single survey they sent me. But that is when they send me any! I rarely ever hear from them!

I have £16.75 as of this month. Last month? £16.50, the month before that? £16.50....I don't know whats going on with them -if the credit crunch has stopped them sending out any surveys, but as it stands, they just don't have the surveys to make me sit up and take notice. I would recommend them, but just don't expect to hear from them for months.

My husband used to be a member of this panel. His earned $ had been pending for more than 1 year ($34 in accounts and $16 was pending). After contacting support - his profile was removed from the panel (we think so) without any explanation. He still receives survey invitations, but he can't log in, because everytime he receive a message - "no such profile". He contacted support more than 20 times - NO SINGLE RESPONSE.

Max Time Min Reward
by Kim, Aug 22 '08

I got fed up spending so much of my time on their many surveys for minimum amount of reward/incentive. I think they should pay more for the time that you are giving to answer all the questions. I'm sure they pay less than they did at first. Consequently, I don't even bother to take the survey anymore. You have to do at least 10 surveys to get £8 - £10

by Allan, Aug 03 '08

Quite like Valued Opinions. Survey invitations are several a week, with payments from 50p to £2. Rewards are credited within 28 days, although some seem to take longer than that.
I don't particularly like the "Finance" ones, they seem to go on forever...
Rewards are available from a range of sources, my favourite being Amazon. NB - If you choose HMV, it is instore, not online.
I've been with them 2-and-a-half years, and had £75 rewards.

One of the better survey sites on the internet but you wouldn't make much money in an average year - £40 to £60 for most people but if you add up all your earnings in other survey companies - most people make a fair bit and remember it's tax free! Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

I have mixed reviews on Valued Opinions. They're not that bad, but I don't think it is as wonderful as a lot of people here. The incentives aren't bad, but I don't get a lot of surveys.

NO RESPONSE NO PAYMENT
by LIZA, Mar 14 '08

I recieve surveys from Valued Opinions many times. I accumulated enough for a $20 gift card for Macys. My redemption date was 1/17/08. They ask to wait 28 days to recieve payment. So I should have gotten my reward around 2/15/08. It is now 3/14/08, a month later. I have not recieved anything.

I emailed Valued Opinions regarding this matter. My first email was a couple of days before the 28 day waiting period. The panel manager emailed me and responded to wait those couple more days. I waited and waited and emailed numerous times. I have never recieved a response back. I don't know the status, no one has emailed me back. It is dissapointing to have to put time and effort into doing these surveys and recieve no payment for it!

by Joseph, Feb 05 '08

I've been with Valued Opinions for about 5 months. I'll admit, I wasn't really putting forth the effort at first. When i actually did, my account reached a payout. Instant Amazon certs are great. I'm $2 shy of another cashout, which is pending. Things credit within 28 days of completing the survey. So far, I've completed about 15 surveys, and the total is over $50.00
So, I highly suggest this site. They have several other choices in certificates as well.

I just joined Valued Opinions in Dec 2007 and Today I received my first payment. How cool is that :) With other survey companies, I've waited for months and months, sometimes a whole year but never reached a payout. They are purely genuine and they send 4-5 surveys per month offering reward from 1.5- 10 $. I did get 10$ at one survey. I received my reward within seconds of requesting it. So I would say customer service ROCKS!!. Do join, Highly Recommended.

Valued Opinions is by far my favorite. I used to get completed pummeled with emails from a different survey company that offered nothing but sweepstakes entries. Valued Opinions has not sent me any Spam and the surveys have almost always been worth the time - anywhere from $2 to $10 I got on one. I just cashed out another Amazon gift card - this company gives you cash toward Amazon, Macy's, others. I haven't had any problems getting paid, their website is easy to use.

I've taken a few of their surveys and have been very pleased with the experience. Valued Opinions actually pays better than just about anyone for their surveys; my only beef is that it can take a few weeks to receive payment - but it's always more in the end.

I could not just sign up, a friend of mine had to refer me...haven't found a link anywhere. And there are fewer chances to take surveys but there have not been any "duds"! If you get the opportunity to join, do it!!
