Don't Join

October 8, 2014 by Carolyn from United States

I was a member of valued opinions for about a year. But a week ago I try to go into my account and it would not let me in, so I email them. At first it was good, but than I started getting half way into the survey and it would kick me out. So after I sent them a email and started asking questions, they cancel my membership, and I had about 50.00 dollars in my account. I try calling, but I get no answer, email them get no response, and I guest they will keep the money that I earned doing surveys. Now I am never going to join any survey panel again.

cash out

September 15, 2014 by Jim from United States

I have cashed out 2 times and both times it was there in 24 hours , but ,,, this last time I cashed out $25 for a $20 visa number on 8/2/2014 I have yet to see the credit, I have written them 3 times and called them once , you only get a recording when you call and they NEVER return calls . if you are thinking about joining ,, DON'T!! if you are a member I would recommend you opt out and take you losses , all you doing is making them money you will never see

UPDATE today makes 13 days since I cashed out and I still have not seen my visa code in my box . It isn't going to get there because they never sent it out this site is just a rip off
14th day and still no money ,,,,,,,,,don't join! and if you have don't take another survey , you won't get paid for it , all your doing is lining her pockets with money that should be yours!!

UPDATE ,,, it has been 22 days since I cashed out what was supposed to be 24 hours they are lying about sending it out , funny ALL the answers from value garbage get to my email box but the visa code does not and it's the same old garbage "I have now resent the voucher to both email addresses." but it never shows up , and you NEVER get to talk to anyone when you call , they screen there calls and ignore the ones about lack of payment
After giving them 3 email address and still did not get the visa code she (isabel) refunded my points and said " cash out using another form" so I cashed out using a Amazon code , when I used it , it went thru then the next day I get a email from Amazon stating it was declined ,, I will not give up I will badger them from now on with phone calls and emails
After about 100 phone calls and 100 emails they did at last send me the 20 bucks but I had to go with a amazon gift code , 20 bucks doesn't buy anything worth having on amazon ... I don't recommend joining this survey site

Horrible site!

August 7, 2014 by Mark from United Kingdom

I feel very angry after just being screened out of the second survey when I nearly finished it right near the end comes up with a message saying the quoter is now full.
Been using this site for a good few years had a few cash outs in Amazon vouchers.
I'm afraid the good days have gone with this company get chucked from 70% of surveys & they don't pay very much you have to earn that 15 voucher 25 surveys. There are far better surveys sites about that want their surveys filling & will pay you in paypal.

Surveys keep crashing

June 9, 2014 by Kirsty from United Kingdom

I am finding an increasing amount of Valued Opinions coincidentally crashing after I have spent 15-30 minutes answering the questions. This implies that the companies want to receive the information for free which is uncalled for an unfair.

After emailing Valued Opinions, this is their reply: "Thank you for the email. While we try to avoid any technical difficulties, there can sometimes be problems with very complicated surveys, with survey link errors or just with internet connection issues. Unfortunately this cannot be resent now. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope you do not experience any problems with future surveys."

There is no mention of looking into the problems or saying that they will compensate/reward you for the part completed answers.

Constantly screened out

May 31, 2014 by Mark from United Kingdom

Am having a lot issues with this site. I've been with them a few months and only made just over £17. I constantly get screened out when I'm near the end of a survey so I think there's something fishy going on. I emailed customer support and was told that there was a problem with the survey but this happens nearly everytime I do a survey with them.
