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.

Valued Opinions has been exceptionally easy to use and a nice way to earn money but now I'm facing a presumed bug that hasn't been resolved for quite some time. After I claimed my $20 rebel gift card, you have to enter a code to validate the gift card. However, 'System is not available, try again later' is always the response I'm given. I have attempted to reach out to customer service but am yet to hear back. I have to say I am rather disappointed.

*Edit: Problem fixed today and everything is back to being superb.

I joined when it first came into existence and was able to earn a number of Amazon cards but over the last few months it's been nothing but a waste of time. Instant disqualification 25 cent surveys that take up to 30 minutes in other ways it is just another waste of time . Let's say it's just another internet ripoff and leave it at that.

Have had my ups and downs with this survey company, but have been with them the longest.
Was suspended, with no reason or notice, for a while. It was sorted, but took around a month to do so.
Nowadays there is a constant issue of being told I do not qualify for surveys because I have already done them.Even though I actually havent.

However, overall, VP is better than many (not all) others.
I felt compelled to write as I see all the really bad reviews here, while the horrifically bad PrizeRebel gets an unusually high amount of positive comment that is far from deserved (just look at the comments on their Facebook page).

Valued Opinions, far from perfect and could use a good bit of improvement, but far from the worst also.

I'm a platinum level contributor to this site and suddenly the surveys stopped coming. I'd had a couple of cash outs with no problems, so I wrote and asked if there was a problem. This was the reply :
"Unfortunately, the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged, and upon review of your account, we have been forced to suspend your account."
So my account is suspended. Nice of them to tell me when they did it!

My asked them to look again :
"I take this matter seriously. You are paying me decent money for my opinions and I respect that by being honest and straightforward. I am a professional person not some fly by night out to defraud you of a couple of pounds.
Please investigate further as I suspect that something is not quite right. Computer algorithms are not infallible and sometimes human scrutiny and intervention is required as I suspect may be the case here. "
I GOT ANOTHER STANDARD LETTER!!!!!

Since then they are ignoring me. I have a £9 balance on my account, just short of the £10 payout limit. Is this a coincidence? Am I just being cynical??

Their customer service seems to consist of standard responses, perhaps computer generated? And they insult you at the end by adding "Thank you for your understanding"

Well, I'm not understanding and they're not explaining. Strikes me I'm being ripped off and they're a bunch of con artists.

Also they haven't answered why it took over 100 surveys to find me unsuitable or why I am still allowed to take their surveys via other sites - the logo is pretty distinctive.

Inconsistent and uncaring. Avoid them like the plague.

I was just offered a survey paying 25 cents for 30 minutes! Survey Length
30 minutes
Reward
$0.25
Available Until
Sunday 3 March
That's less than 50 cents an hour people. If panelists actually take surveys for this amount, the panels will take this as "permission" to pay us the lowest rates possible.
