I have been a member for 8 months now.
After doing many many surveys I have received $105 dollars worth of various gift cards of my choosing.
It's no rush to millions but if you've time to spare, and you'd be wasting it on the internet anyway it's a good time killer that results in a little income.
By far this site, I've found, has a good mix of short to medium length surveys and very few long, time taxing ones. But all in all its better than most. I got the same survey on this site and on ipoll. Valuedopinions offered $8 for it, ipoll was offering $3.
That being said not everyone will qualify for all surveys and its no get rich quick scheme. You won't be getting rich. But it helps knock $20 off a shopping trip

I have been a member of Valued Opinons for many years and over the past few months I have noticed they have really gone down hill. $2 for 40 minutes surveys, then technical errors, also no reward after completing their surveys. I don't know if I will be a member for much longer. Customer Service really is lacking!

That's fair. I don't get tonnes of surveys from them, but I have had the same occur to me on another site that had many a decent review from users. So I don't know what the go is on that one.
Across the board

I've found they tend to typecast members. those who (and for the record i've done exactly this in the past) gotten my answers either wrong or confused if I've had a job/mobile/provider/studying change and haven't updated my profile.

Seems like they then put you in an untrustworthy category, offer you very few surveys until you can redeem yourself to be a consistent panel member. But there's so many sites out there, cut your losses and find the next one that best suits you

I have been a panelist with valued opinions for many years now and have to say lately they are going downhill. My most recent experience was this morning, being invited to do a 2 part survey for 50-60 minutes and receiving $5 as the reward. After 90 minutes I was informed that I had completed the first module for $3, and if I could spare another 30 minutes I would receive the other $2. Which equates to $5 for 2 hours - ridiculous. I have experienced this same issue with them a number of times in the last month or so. Also, being 80% through a survey (15 minutes of my time) to be told I do not qualify. A waste of my time, certainly have not been happy. So be aware, there are some good surveys and well paid ones and at other times dreadful. I will not long attempt any of their 60 minutes surveys, so frustrating!

At least when I have contacted them they do answer promptly, I am just waiting to see what they say about my most recent issue.

I joined this survey site about 18 months ago and am quite happy with it, I have redeemed $200 in Coles vouchers and have another $150 worth in my account ready to redeem for Christmas.
The surveys are interesting, the rewards for time spent are most of the time fair, I have had a couple that I have spent a few minutes on only to be screened out without reward, which is a bit unfair.

I am glad your experiences have been great so far, but my latest has been dreadful. 90 minute survey for $3 - ridiculous!

Thanks for this insight - give ResearchMinds.com.au - they have good customer service and offer a relatively steady stream of surveys.

This survey site started out great, decent surveys, decent rewards, gift cards sent out promptly, however it has now gone downhill dramatically. They offer barely any reward, gift cards take longer to arrive, surveys are longer and after 10-15min of answering questions, you may get told you don't qualify!

Shazzbot1 18 Oct 2014

I agree with you, I was just doing one of their surveys which stated $5 for 50-60 minutes, it took me over 90 minutes and was told I would receive $3. Absolutely ridiculous. I have been with valued opinions for many years and yes, definitely going downhill.

Hi, give ResearchMinds.com.au a go - they have better customer service and also seem to have a steady stream of surveys. They're reviewed on WOMO as well.

Convinced by friends who rave about how easy and rewarding it is to achieve giftcards, I decided to join Valued Opinions. I receive a few emails from the daily regarding surveys and after completion of the survey, you will receive reward points and after a certain amount of points they can be used to redeem gift voucher's with lots of different brands such as Coles, Woolworths, Supercheap Auto etc.

So basically you will be rewarded for taking part in online surveys, which allow companies to know what you think about their services and products.It's a great way to be rewarded for your participation.

I have been with Valued Opinions for many years now and find them to be great. I sometimes receive up to 3 survey invites a day (I don't usually qualify for all of them). You are told exactly how much you will receive and how long each survey will take. Once you reach $20 in your account you can redeem it for many different rewards, I usually order the Coles gift card. I find they are a bit slow in sending the gift cards, it now takes about a month, when it use to be within 2 weeks. But I am just happy to receive something for giving my opinion and I enjoy doing the surveys.

It's nice getting a little extra cash for something you enjoy doing. I definitely recommend you join if you would like to make some extra cash.

I joined about a year ago and get several surveys a week. When I get to my redeemable amount ($20) I exchange my points for a Wish voucher.

It's easy extra cash for just a few minutes at a time.

I have been a member for YEARS and average about $400 a year in voucher from surveys. You need 2000 points for a $20 voucher, which can be for Coles, Woolies, and a variety of others. I always get the Coles ones and save them up until the end of the year and give them to the kids for Xmas shopping.

This survey site has gotten better in some areas but fallen significantly in other areas. The time that they take to send you your gift vouchers have significantly reduced it used to be exactly 30 days before mine showed up, now it is about 1-2 weeks. However their surveys seem to have longer screening times and therefore you could not qualify for a survey after about 20 mins i think was the tops, very frustrating! Their survey also seem to be worth less than what they used to. Still you so get your gift cards so worth the time, especially when you save them up for the busy times of year
