Most surveys offer rewards of between $1 and $7 per completion. A minimum account balance of just $10 is needed in order to request a reward.

You’ll be prompted to fill more information in your profile after you’ve registered - and doing so will improve your chances of being eligible for a wide range of surveys.

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.

Never in life have I seen a company that charges you to redeem rewards! There is no reason for them to pass the cost on to survey takers when Amazon does not charge fees for buying gift cards.

This company also conveniently disabled Facebook comments before applying this change.

Valued Opinions used to be great to do surveys for.Now they want to charge $5.00 extra to redeem a $20.00 visa card.I am disappointed that they are charging this much to redeem a visa card.

I have have had very negative experiences with Valued Opinions. Reward vouchers claimed in November 2012 have not arrived and when questioning this in late January 2013 I am finally told that the replacement was sent in early February 2013. When I did not receive a replacement by early March 2013 I enquired again and was then told the voucher was ordered but not sent in February 2013.
I am then told in early April 2013 that the voucher had been posted on 2/4/13 but as of 14/4/13 nothing has been received and there are now no replies to emails, Facebook messages etc.
In addition, when answering survey questions there is a greater than average (compared to the other 5 on line survey companies I use) chance that you will be screened out of a survey but after answering several questions and at times almost at the end of a survey.
I would suggest avoiding any contact with this company.

I used to really like Valued Opinions. Now they are charging you for the amazon reward. They said it was because they were eating the cost, but amazon gift cards do not cost anymore.

They used to be good but not anymore! They actually charge you now to cash out. It costs 22 dollars now to cash out a 20 dollar Amazon Voucher. Amazon clearly states "No fees ever" however these crooks think they can charge a $5 fee for Visa cards and $2 for amazon then they are dead wrong. It takes a long time to credit the surveys under "pending" however I think Valued opinions is holding the credit to prevent one from cashing out fast. Also you get disqualified a lot and once you are at the end of the survey an "error" occurs. I am done with this corporate greed panel survey company. Goodbye Worthless opinions.
