I RARELY RECEIVE SURVEYS AND I DO ENJOY THEM, ALSO, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO RECEIVE AWARDS, THIE COMBINED WITH ,AS I STATED RECEIVING SURVEYS IS A VERY POOR STANDARD TO HAVE.
They send short surveys. I have been paid between $0.50 and $3.00. Cash stays long on “pending”. After 75 days I reached $20 quota. I will post another review when the gift card reaches my mail.
It takes way to long to do enough surveys so you can redeem them for gift cards.
This survey site is much better than any other I am a member of. I have only been a member for the past month and in just one month have earned 6 dollars. Most of the surveys are very short and required very little information. You do have to qualify for each survey, which is why I only currently have 6 dollars. I have only qualified, so far, for about 2 surveys. Average emailed surveys are about once a week, so not very often.
i very rarely if ever get a survey that is the one major comment i have.
I have been a member of Valued Opinions for a couple of years. I don’t receive many survey invites but when I do the surveys are generally interesting, short and fair in compensation. It takes about a month to have a completed survey credited to your account and then you have to build up at least $20 before you can cash in for a gift certificate. Your gift certificate choices are limited but I can always use an Amazon gift certificate, which are among your choices. I have been able to cash in several times with payment being immediate. You won’t make a lot of money from this site but I think it is worth the time and effort to be a member.
I receive one or two survey invitations a week from Valued Opinions, and almost always qualify. One of my favorite things about this site is that, in your account information area, all of the surveys you have taken but not received credit for yet are put in a “Pending Credits” section. The name of the survey as well as the amount of the reward is listed, so you can keep track of all the surveys you have taken and be sure you receive credit for all of them. It can take up to a month before a survey is moved out of the “Pending Credits” area, but I have never had a problem with not receiving credit. Valued Opinions also offers higher rewards than most other survey sites — In 3 months on this site, I have made $30. Rewards can be redeemed for gift cards to places like Macy’s, or for Amazon gift certificates once you have earned $20. This is a higher payout threshold than most other sites, but with their generous compensation, it isn’t hard to reach.
i rarely recieved from invitation fron valued opinions
I have been a member of this site for just over a year now. I used to think it was just an alright site, but lately it has gotten so much better.
The quality of surveys have always been great. They are interesting topics and have a very easy user interface.
Compensation is usually $6-10 an hour, if you break it down. So, a bit higher than some other sites.
The frequency of surveys has gotten much better the past three or four months. I used to only get one or two a month and maybe qualify for 25% of them. This month alone, I have already received 10 survey offers and qualified for close to half of the ones that I took.
You can cash out at $20 and I have twice recently for Amazon gift cards. They emailed me the codes within just a few days. So, they are very fast in paying.
All in all, I would say this is definitely a site that I would recommend.
some times hard to access the site and logon to my account
I used to be content with the site until sept 20 2008 when all of a sudden I was trying to log on when it kept telling me they do not recognize my e-mail address in the records even though I’ve been a member since april to make matters worse all the survey invitations e-mails that they sent me dissappeared from my old mail…!!!
enjoy most of the survey.wish they more to take
I got my Macy’s card in the mail recently. It came just in time for the holidays. But it took about 5 month to accumulate 20$ in 0.50, 1.50 and 2 dollar surveys. Usually I enjoy their surveys but these are on an invitation basis only.
I am enjoying Valued Opinions surveys. the site provides me with quality Surveys that I think are of interest to the consumer as well as the provider.
I have already benefitted from the time I have spent taking their surveys. My Amazon gift card provided 2 of my Christmas gifts to my grand-children.They enjoy video games and DVD’s and because of Valued Opinions payout, I was able to purchase a game and DVD for them. The cost was zero out of my pocket.
A few more surveys would be nice but I have no intentions of going anywhere from this site. I appreciate their allowing me to be a part of suuveys that change the way the world buys things.
Sincerely written, Darrel
8. Valued Opinions $88.65 ($20 minimum pay out point) (Amazon gift certificates) (Joined: 2008-02-18) ($60 rec’d)
If you like Amazon gift certificates then you will like Valued Opinions as you can earn them faster here than anywhere else. I receive almost daily surveys, most of which I qualify for.
The incentives range from $1 up to $8 (for me) on topics suh as consumer goods, entertanment, personal care, food and beverages. I have reached the $20 minimum pay out point three times since I joined on February 18, 2008 and I will cash out again for another $20 Amazon gift card any day now. You do have to wait 28 days (or longer) for the incentives to be credited and occaisionally you will have to contact their excellent support staff here: inquiries@valuedopinions.com
My overall rating for Valued Opinions would be much higher if they offered a PayPal option.
Valued Opinions is a great Survey Panel to join. They offer rewards in various forms, the popular ones are Macy’s Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Certificates or Visa Cards.
Their rewards can range from $1 to $50 for some speciality Projects. The rewards show up in the account very soon after completing a survey.
They have great stuff for Member Support and reply almost immediately if you have any concerns. Just have to send a mail to isabel@valuedopinions.com, and they will resolve our concerns.
I have been a Member since April, 2008 and earned from them $120 so far. The surveys they send are cool ones, and I love taking their surveys.
I am sure most people would love taking their surveys and earning rewards.
Very well organized survey
I only qualified for 1 out of 15 surveys and it took a long time for them to credit my account.
On some surveys I was disqualified after 5 to 10 minutes and received no credit. At this rate it would take a year and about 40 hours to reach the $20 cash-out.
I don’t recommend this company. Another waste of time.
In the past the surveys that came were few and far between, last week i received my first $20 Visa gift card but have been a member of Valued Opinions for nearly a year. Lately the surveys have been coming more frequently and i am already nearly at $20 again!
I had joined valued opinions since 2009.2-10 and got paid five times with amazon gc:
24-8-2009 $20 Amazon.com gift card $20.00
25-7-2009 $20 Amazon.com gift card $20.00
6-7-2009 $20 Amazon.com gift card $20.00
9-6-2009 $20 Amazon.com gift card $20.00
29-4-2009 $20 Amazon.com gift card $20.00
they pay with amazon gc instantly so i choose it with my first payment option.
Generally speaking,they send 3 surveys per week to me and most of time i would complete 2 surveys success.and survey rewards always between 1-3$,sometimes 5$.
I marked Valued Opinions as one of my favorite surveys site.
I have been a member of this panel since December 2008. So far, I have cashed out $80.00 in Amazon GC ’s and I wasn’t even replying to all the survey invitations I received.
I am very impressed with Value Opinions because they delivered as promised. I don’t have to wait 2 days or more to receive my Amazon GC. Once I request to cash out, payment is automatically made. I really like Valued Opinions. I think they one of the best survey companies in the market.
I received numerous surveys requests from valued opinions per month, after a few minutes of answering numerous personal questions, survey closes and I receive a message that I do not qualify. I have written to the company on various occassions and have tried the survey again with the same results. I answer less of them now, maybe one per month. The surveys are on various subjects, so I can not believe I do not qualify for all of them. I was paid twice over a year ago and have not qualified for any surveys since the first 2.
