 Valued Opinions is owned by Research Now. As a member of Valued Opinions you will be invited to participate in
various surveys matching your current interests. For each survey you
complete, you will receive a reward, typically between $2 and $5 and up
to $50 for specialist surveys which will be credited to your Valued
Opinions account within 28 days. Money is given in exchange for your
opinions and will be stored in your account until you are able to
redeem your rewards.The value of the rewards varies per survey and will be stated clearly on your invitation. Once your account reaches $20 you will be able to redeem your reward in the form of a gift certificate (including amazon gift certificates). I have joined Valued Opinions for a while, I receive about average one survey per week, which is pretty good, but I still haven't reach payout yet - I skipped some of their surveys (the ones takes longer to do) and of course didn't qualify for every survey I tried. Most of the surveys I received pay $2 or $3. Even though I prefer cash reward, Amazon gift certificates is not bad (I shop at amazon a lot). Overall I think Valued Opinion is a good survey site and I recommended! Please feel free to rate Valued Opnions and leave your reviews and comments!

I have had to email them about 20 times regarding surveys I wasn't credited for. They never responded to any of the emails, except one, about a month after the $1.00 credit came through, telling me that my account had been credited. Well, obviously. It took you 2 1/2 months to respond? Seriously?
Recently, it got so bad that I have been keeping a spreadsheet with the survey number, date I took it, and the subject of the survey. I have been a survey taker for at least 15 years, and I have NEVER had to do something like this. I contacted the BBB because my money was either pending for months on end, even though their site says it will be 28 days or so, or they weren't crediting me at all. The BBB, closed the claim because they weren't getting anywhere. I find it appalling that Valued Opinions claim they are a BBB certified business with an A+ rating, yet the BBB did absolutely nothing to help me, and I have yet to be paid the money I am owed, which is now almost $30 dollars.
I am sharing my experience here in the hopes that I can save someone else the frustration and hassle. Valued Opinions is horrible!
I immediately wrote customer service and it took them over a week to respond. When I finally got the response, I was much calmer (LOL my first email was right when I got the shaft) but then their response got me a bit angry again. It said something along the lines of, you were screened out and you must have mistaken our screening pages for the survey as we do have up to 20 pages of screening questions.
Well, I wrote again, telling them I KNOW the difference between the beginning screener pages and when I've been accepted. This was a very long survey where they had me reading entire commercials and giving my opinions, etc. I had been at it for almost an hour and they were even breaking in with the little messages such as, "thanks for continuing, a final few questions." Stuff like that. If I'd been screened out, I asked her, then why was my message that I had been logged out due to time to take survey? (I had not walked away nor had any periods where I stopped the survey at all, it literally had taken that long to complete it).
Anyways, long story short, over another week later, I did get one more response from CS, this time she said she had noticed that I DID complete the survey and that I DID get the 'session logged off' message and she said that message came in error. They did credit my account the full amount of the survey.
I was very happy and wrote her again thanking her. I guess the moral of my novel (lol) is to be persistant when you know you're right and be calm in the emails and always email them back, cause you never know what the outcome may be.
As a note, I've also earned the 20 dollar Amazon GCs too, and its correct, you are given the code immediately, its available on your accounts page as soon as you request it.
