Complete the Basic Profile, Receive $1.00

After registering with the site, you will be e-mailed an offer to complete your account profile (which takes 6 minutes) in exchange for $1.00. This will help kick-start the number of surveys you will be eligible to complete. After completing the basic profile, you can also complete additional profile information regarding your household, shopping habits, etc. which will help you qualify for even more surveys.

Reward Amounts

Valued Opinions surveys typically reward between $1 and $7, although at times you may be sent unpaid surveys to help with identifying your unique interests. The typical survey takes 15-20 minutes to complete, however the estimated time is always outlined beforehand.

For every survey completion, you will receive "cash" deposited into your account immediately after completing a survey. This can be converted into a wide range of rewards.

Survey Rewards

Your Valued Opinions earnings can be redeemed for the following rewards once a minimum of $10 is collected:

• Magazine subscriptions - 1-year magazine subscriptions to Cosmopolitan, ELLE Decor, Food Network, Magazine Midwest Living, and Women's Health for $15 in rewards.

These rewards apply to USA members, though are very similar in other countries.

After being a member for 2 years, i can say honestly this site is horrible....surveys are pathetic, open email to take one and surveys almost always closed. Valued opinions is a waste of time

Their rewards section gives both physical gift cards and e-cards. you pay a premium to get a physical card. every time i as for a physical card and pay the premium, i get an e-card. they never respond to emails, just ask you to refer to FAQ. BAIT AND SWITCH

I had over $400 sitting in my account and when they no longer gave out Marriott gift cards and then the Visa virtual cards are pretty much garbage at $25, I decided to cash out via the Southwest Airlines option.

Now with my account last showing $89.55, I can't log into my account. It is saying my e-mail cannot be found in their database. Submitting a lost password request yields the same result. Calling their office yields nothing, as the operator is never there.

I just called their corporate offices (Research Now - 214-365-5000) to demand my payment for the amount owed still.

I have been with them for a few years and always got plenty of surveys. This past July I cashed out on the Visa card but never received it even though they told me they did send it. Just cashed out again on another Visa on 11/10 2014, never received it. I called them and I spoke to a woman and she told me she would send out both of them that day ( 11-26-14 ), nothing. Called them back 7 days later and no answer. Left a message to return call. Called them again today, and told them to send my code's to me! They even have the nerve to keep sending me more surveys, got two more just today. Also have 20.00 in the system and 9.00 pending. I hope no one takes their surveys any longer. UPDATE! I just called their corporate office 214-365-5000, they transferred me to Valued Opinions, but still no answer. Called the Corporate office again and explained what was going on. They are sending them an email on my behalf for them to call me ASAP, we'll see as the spoke person I talked to sounded a little on the edgy side. Will have an update if I hear anything or not. UPDATE: Still have not heard back from them nor any rewards, but they have the nerve to have sent me 3 more surveys which of course I have ignored. Just called them again and all you get is a recording. Update 12/23/14. Still no payments. I private messaged them on their FB yesterday, haven't heard back and sure I won't. Others on FB are complaining on their FB page. UP Date, 01/03/ 15. Well, I got all three of my Visa Rewards today! Had to private message them through FB and it paid off. They had no explanation except they said July's were sent out as well as November. I had to tell them it was not and not in my trash or junk. They wanted me to give them a different email address and I said no as this is the only one I use. But all is well, and they finally got sick and tired of me bothering them I assume. Going to thank them on a private message on FB as I can't get a hold of them any other way. I'm bigger then them as far as saying I'm sorry which they did not do,

These guys are full of garbage! I joined because my husband uses them. The site is clean and easy to navigate. The surveys aren't too bad if you qualify. I had done about my 5th survey making my rewards about 6$. Right after the survey I went to sign in to check my money, and it wouldn't let me in. I tried forgot password, but it told me my e-mail wasn't registered. I tried to contact them over the phone, they make their number easy to find, but the catch is they never, ever, ever answer! I tried sooo many times. So I e-mailed them and they sent me an automated response about signing in. I had to send them several e-mails back saying that didn't solve my inquiry. When after 2 weeks I finally heard back, they told me something along the lines of "They look for quality responses that are thoughtful and honest, and due to lack of quality they had to cancel my account." Without telling me anything till I pestered them a ton. This is total bull, they either don't want to pay me, or don't want to figure out what's going on with my account. I spent all that time going through the surveys, reading them carefully, and answering honestly. This excuse is ridiculous!

I have no idea how often they do this, but just be safe and don't waste your time. It could very well happen to you. Go to a site thats honest and actually knows what customer service is.
