Valued Opinions is an excellent gift card site that has earned me $137.15 since February 18, 2008 and which currently ranks 6th out of my top 25 survey sites. I have completed 60 surveys over the past 16 months with Valued Opinions on the topics of consumer goods, personal interests, entertainment, food, beverages, media, travel and healthcare with incentives ranging from $0.05 to $8.00 and, occasionally, as much as $50 for specialty projects. Most surveys are between five and 45 minutes, with longer surveys earning higher amounts. They pay by email gift card codes, which arrive instantly, after you have reached the $20 minimum cash out. I have cashed out almost every other month since joining.
Registering with Valued Opinions takes only a few minutes and by filling in your account details you are automatically entered into their sweepstakes to win a new iPod Touch. When you have successfully completed a survey, the reward is held in pending status until the entire study has drawn to a close and the data has been processed. Studies can take up to a month to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the study, but are usually credited immediately under ’Pending Credits’ and transferred to ’Current award balance’ within a month or so. Amazon.com gift cards are my preferred reward option, however members can choose from any of these reward options below:
Reward Options
- $20 Amazon Gift Card
- Blockbuster gift card
- $20 Fragrance.net gift card
- $20 Macy’s gift card

I have had much trouble with Value Opinions. They have been giving me the run around. First they say my password is wrong, then when I request my password they say I am not a member. When I go to sign up again they say there is a member with my Email addy. Make up your minds. I have no clue why this is happening. Their sign in page must be messed up. Anyway I am not able to be an active member like I would like to continue to be.
I am having the same problem. I have contacted them with no reply yet. I have accumulated $40 after doing many surveys and now I can’t log in, as they are telling me my password is wrong. Hope this isn’t another dodgy site I will be so disappointed, as I have spent so much of my time doing these surveys and believing I would be rewarded.
Hi me again. I take back the comment I submitted above. I am now able to login, so except for this hiccup I would highly recommend this site. I am now waiting for my rewards a Farmers voucher. Get on board and be rewarded for answering surveys in the comfort of your own home.
I generally don’t qualify for a lot of their surveys, but I agree that they are a great company! One of the surveys I did qualify for, I earned $6 for only 15 minutes of my time! Although I do wish they had other rewards, the Visa one is almost as good as cash.

I am a member, but before I start I have a question: Are there occasions when I will be billed or in any manner charged for taking your surveys?
Absolutely not! You will never be charged for participating in surveys for Valued Opinions, or any of the other survey panels posted on the site site. Legitimate Online Survey Panels are meant to be a way to earn extra money in your spare time, and never charge any type of fees.
I am very happy the problem with my password has been taken care of and I back with Valued Opinions. Thank you very much for your help
Blessings, Kathy
Thanks to Valued Opinions my Farmers $20 card arrived promptly. I belong to a few survey sites online and I would have to say this is the best. You are well rewarded for your time while other sites take years to accumulate points. Thanks again and continue the good work.
