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 :)

I've had good luck with Valued Opinions so far. Cashed in $80 and ready to cash in $60 more. Pay is fast. Customer service is OK.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :(

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.

have recently fallen foul of the dodgy brigade at valued opinions...spuriously accused of multiple accounts etc.,...total incorrect...also tried to sort out via email...no response...by phone...only got through to xxx who stated tough luck, can't do anything to rectify their mistakes!!!...cowboys obviously.

Very recently they began a tracking program which watches(aka:SPYWARE)what types of ads you look at when youre online..ever since Ive been shut out of all their surveys and they only send out a generic explanation which has no meaning whatsoever regarding my questions..that and waiting for months on end to get to a $20 dollar payout makes this company a total piece of garbage!!

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).

This was a very good survey company until recently. I have been disqualified multiple times from surveys lately after 20 mins of my time.

Also, Iam owed $12.00 due to survey errors which I have yet to see.

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.

Hardly EVER qualify. Getting old..

Many survey invitations,the majority passed screening,and reasonable rewards of gift vouchers to a variety of large retailers.

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.

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

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.

Good Surveys that are paid well.

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.

This is a good panel to belong to. I've been a member for around 6 months and I'm only a dollar away from my second $20 gift certificate. The rewards can take a little time to accumulate but I don't mind. It's just like saving money to buy something. So I would recommend this site!

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.

Valued Opinions needs to give cash or pay through paypal I personally don't visit Amazon.com however I did send for their Marriot gift certificate but still in these days and times I would prefer cash,

Does anyone know where to find a link to this?? I really want to join!!

It is not real easy to qualify for one of these guys' surveys, but if you do the pay is reasonable and they DO pay when they say they will. I have been a panelist for under six months and have already received 2 $20.00 checks.

The site is legit but I dont like having amazon gift cards ,I would prefer cash or paypal

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

Great survey site, and one that I recommend 100%. In one year I have earned myself £30 of vouchers, pretty good for answering a few questions!
I ordered my latest voucher last night and as soon as I had clicked the button the voucher was showing in my account history, couldn't believe how quick it was.
Great surveys which don't take forever to fill out.

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 can't seem to make anything from Valued Opinions. Everytime I open up the survey, they say it's closed. Any they just emailed me, too.

I HAVE Been a member now for quite sometime and i get several surveys a month. The incentives are good.They have always paid and so far I am Happy with them considering some i do.

Been with them for about 8 months and so far have made £50 took them in Tesco vouchers. Have about an0ther £25 pending. One of the better paying survey sites and the surveys are generally interesting

they want you to spend all your rewards on Amazon gift cards so they can get another kickback I complained about rewards not being credited and haven't heard from them since

I have gotten alot of surveys from Valued Opinions this year and have received around $160.00 so far from them all in gift cards. I would gladly recommend them to anyone.

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. Also, I just wish there was a cash option. I love Amazon stuff of course, but I'd also like the option of getting cash/paypal so I can spend it anywhere (including offline).

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!

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.

Wow... to the guy below me.. Ever heard of server or website maintainence? The site was down for under 24 hours and all my credits are still there. As far as the company itself they have payed me about 1.50-2.00 per survey which is about average. The surveys were medium length but very fun and honed in on my intrests. All and all one of the top 3 sites for me, please don't just to conclusions like this disturbed guy below me.

I think that valued opinions is great, my only problem is that the payment is in vouchers and not money. The amount of surveys received is great and you get to look at some interesting products and films etc.

Highly recommended.

I haven't been credited for half the surveys I've taken with this company! I've written them twice since October, and have never even heard back from them despite an automatic e-mail ensuring me that I'd hear from them "shortly." What a waste of time!

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!!
