Been a Diamond member for a few years but they are going downhill. Currently hardly any surveys. Also be aware that if you select Love2shop vouchers that you only have 6 weeks or so in which to use them. Neither company inform you of this. I took longer and lost access to them and they cannot be resent. Presumably ValuedOpinions and Love2shop share the proceeds which took me months to earn. Disgraceful, bordering on illegal.
Very disappointed with this survey site. Was one of my favourite survey sites. There were always lots of surveys and I would have completed about 5 a week and the surveys were interesting and varied. That was until I became a Diamond member and the surveys suddenly dried up. I've been told I don't qualify for any I've attempted since that time. I now don't bother with Valued Opinions.
Since good review back in march 2017, they seem to becoming more careless again, offering lots of surveys on the desktop which disappear as soon as you try to enter them. Still not bad, but NOT AS GOOD as they were earlier inn 2017
Since a Critical Review I created back in Dec 2013 I must admit that recently Valued Opinions has improved greatly and is possible on of the best out there at present.
Their payment per survey is reasonable, they pay out rewards VERY promptly, often better than One hour, and apart from the 50p admin charge (why, surely that is factored in to the survey reward?) they are good.
Do keep logging in however as many surveys that appear on your desktop never get emailed out (presumably filled quickly).
My only niggle (and not just Valued Opinions) is the lack of correlation between the info we provide in our profiles and the surveys we get sent for which "you are not qualified/suitable" occurs when you start.
Maybe if all survey companies HAD to pay a consolation of 10% for surveys we're screened out of, they'd be a bit more careful in matching panelist to surveys.
That said, Valued Opinions is well worth joining
Worked fine for years. All of a sudden, surveys don't load, but page hangs.....I have contacted several times. First time, suggested fixes didn't work, and NO MORE RESPONSE....
Okay, now they have blocked me.. Apparently they think I am not being truthful or thoughtful in my responses. Because many questions are repetitive or ridiculous, so my answers are often repetitive..However they ARE my honest opinion and I am disappointed.
UPDATE. Continue to tell me I have violated their terms..and yes, look how many months later. Still will not tell me HOW?? Canned response and wil not let me cash in my measly $10 reward. Their customer service, then, is bogus and I do not recommend them any longer. They have really lost any credibility. As others have said, they changed and they suck.
