Review: Valued Opinions
(Updated May 2010)

Valued Opinions are one of the best paid opinion survey companies out there, offering gift vouchers as rewards for completing their online surveys. Opinion survey invitations are very frequent and the potential earnings are fair for the amount of time and effort required.

You can claim your gift vouchers (they offer vouchers for Marriott, Amazon.co.uk, Tesco, John Lewis, HMV, Marks & Spencer, Boots, Argos, Waitrose Wine Direct, Ocado, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridges, Outfit, Topman, Topshop and Wallis) when the amount in your account reaches £10.00.

Vouchers are dispatched quickly following your payment request and you should get them through your door within 28 days, although in practice it's usually much quicker.

Once you have signed up, paid survey invitations are frequent and will arrive in your mailbox at the rate of around one per day. You need to fill in their 'hot topics' sections fully and keep them updated as your circumstances change. This will guarantee you will receive invitations specific to your demographic which means you have a lot higher chance of being accepted onto the survey and getting paid.

Most Valued Opinions surveys have a closing date of around 4-5 days. This in practice means you should try and respond to an invitation as soon as you can, before the quota of participants has been reached.

Tracking is excellent and you will nearly always receive your reward after the survey is complete. Technical problems are few and far between. If you do experience a problem with either a survey or payment, help is always on hand and your queries will be responded to quickly.

Your reward for completing a paid opinion survey will be shown on the invite. Typically this will be around the £1-2.00 mark, although higher value surveys are common.

The length of time required to finish the paid opinion survey will also be show on the survey invite. With Valued Opinions, these are usually very realistic. If it says 25 minutes, then you will usually find that the survey will take you 25 minutes to complete.

Your personal data is safe with Valued Opinions and they are never passed on to any third parties (other than for the purposes of the surveys), so you never get any marketing spam or calls.

Overall, we rate Valued Opinions very highly. They are an honest company who fairly reward you for your participation in their varied and interesting market research activities.
