I was a member of this organization for over 10 years. I was unceremoniously dumped by them for alleged violations of their terms and conditions.… Read more
When queried as to which specific condition was violated, they arrogantly refused to answer my query, and proceeded to "steal" almost $50 worth of completed surveys done by myself. When pushed further for information, they arrogantly refused to answer any of my queries. Therefore, do not bother wasting your time and efforts helping this organization, which seems to want to "welch" on their debts to members. If I could give zero stars, I would. An overall "shonky" company that wants you to do surveys for a pittance. There are more reputable survey firms out there, who care for their members and treat you considerately. Certainly NOT Valued Opinions.
Follow-up · No communications whatsoever have been received. No explanation as to why I was dropped, and no, they have point blank refused to pay me what they owe me. I still have no idea why I was removed.
Follow-up · Survey topics were as expected; Home and family, Social, Business and Employment. What you would normally expect from a "Reputable" survey site.
Was member for over 2 years . Sometimes had high payouts . Then couldn’t log in 2 days ago . Also recently had a gift card payment . So now I’m suspended for doing nothing wrong . Don’t recommend. Site is bad to loyal users too . There are better survey sites out there .

I finally cashed out after about 10 years then I did a survey that said it was best done on computer so I came to laptop and did the entire survey and it timed me out at 99% which is a total scam! Beware there are other better survey sites around
Will not supply gift cards and will not reply to emails. I managed to complete enough surveys to accrue an amount I could claim, firstly I had to verify my account, which I did. then it still wouldn't allow me to redeem my gift card as says my account is under review. I waited a week, still no luck, so I emailed and followed the auto generated… Read more
steps that appeared at the time of submitting the email. now it has been numerous weeks with no success and no emails.
Worse than low-wage labor – Terrible service, accumulated 20$ for redemption only to get permanently suspended because failed to verify ID. They didn't even disclose why the verification failed.
Waste of time – I've put so much time into this and did so many surveys. Now I have $30 I want to cash out and they haven't verified my account.... Says 72 hours it'll take. Tried to talk to their Chatbot about it but they have no clue what I'm talking about! I'm fuming.
Absolute scam! – I did lots of surveys and spent the time to do them properly. I sometimes had to give some very personal information which I was assured would stay hidden. I saved enough for my first gift card then when I tried to redeem it, the website would come up with a message saying error. I contacted the site to hear back a few days latter with the words… Read more
‘’sorry for the inconvenience we will look into it’’, still nothing changed.After countless emails I have still heard nothing and am still getting an error message on the site when trying to redeem. DO NOT use this site, biggest waste of time!

I'm afraid Valued Opinions is no more - it seems to have disappeared without a trace about 2 weeks ago. I had about $100.00 of unreedemed award - now all gone. I've learn't a hard lesson, always redeem your survey rewards as soon as you can.
i was with these guys for over 10 years,i just recently deleted the account because the last few years i have tolerated being screened out at the end of surveys and either given no credit or 2c just recently i did one survey because of notice my account will expire,so i did one completed it and they did the same thing,final straw delete!,it's not… Read more
worth the time their is better survey companies out their,but not many.
some other surveys have very high screenouts also and almost a scam because these guys will still be making money from it,a lot more than they pay
Used valuedopinions for years without problem, now all of a sudden when I wanted to redeem for Chrimbo gifts my account is blocked. I have done nothing to contradict *any* terms or conditions, no reason was given, even when asked, these guys just straight up stole my $500 balance. Thieves!
Don't bother signing up, VO is useless. My account was hacked and I sent emails to VO to report it along with screenshots as evidence. The scammer had requested a change of email address and phone number which came to me. I only got an automated reply and no further help. I had 396 points but that will be spent now. VO is totally useless for customer service.

I have come back to Valued Opinions after a few months absence. I simply cannot log in, even though I changed my password correctly. Every time I send them auestions about how to log in again, they send me replies that seem to be AI generated - ie they do not reply to my specific query. I am aboutto give up.
This is a scam! After accruing the minimum $20 for completing surveys, they asked me for my ID and photo. After submitting, their webpage immediately kicked me out and the password I created with them didn't work, even after resetting password. I imagine I will be getting lots of scams related to them soon.
Last week, I had difficulty logging in to this platform of which I have been a member for years. I contacted customer service via email, and have had multiple conversations with them regarding my account. Apparently I have had my account suspended. They have implied that I have lied whilst responding to surveys, but at no point have they been… Read more
able to provide any evidence of this. In addition, I have about $15 in my account to which they have denied me access. Not only have I been unfairly and incorrectly accused of something that they cannot verify, but now they have refused to hand over monies that I have earned. I write this review as a cautionary tale to other people who use this survey site to beware.
I opened my account about a month ago, completed a few surveys and when I try to cash out my rewards I keep receiving an error message stating that my account is "under review" and I need to wait 72 hours. It's now been more than 2 weeks and I’m still unable to access my rewards or even get a response from customer service. Not going to do any more surveys till I get my rewards. Not happy with their service.
Breach privacy law – This survey site ask for upload your personal ID (driver licence or passport) and self photo of yourself through third party Verify to keep these information. Is it breach of privacy law?
Misleading to the extreme – Absolute rubbish. They don't tell you that you must have an Australian photo ID to redeem rewards. Being a permanent resident who doesn't drive left me with no acceptable ID. Their verification system, Veriff, don't tell you that either, they just close your account down with no warning. And that's just one experience with this site. Waste of my time
40c insidious surveys time wasters – I have been with this site for a few years but over the last 8 months I have taken issue with there 40c surveys as I've told them many time 99 out of 100 surveys you do not qualify I have spent sometimes a couple of hours some times up to 26 questions just to qualify and next survey you try for asks the same questions then directs you to a new… Read more
site to answer more questions many time I have complained about this time wasting you can easily spend 2 hours just trying to qualify with no reward asking Valued Opinions to vette these insidious 40c surveys youget a standard robo type reply we value you but not enough to do something about it lift your game and if we're as valued as you claim vette these sites to make sure OUR time isn't wasted
Valued Opinions are hopeless – Don’t waste your time with Valued Opinions. You spend a long time setting up preferences then their server quits 90% of the way through the surveys. You end up filling in surveys and don’t get paid a thing.
Unethical Behaviour – This site is hopeless I spent 25 minutes today Giving out my thoughts only to have them disconnect the site. This is dishonest and unethical in my opinion. I has now happened 4 times

World's biggest scammers – They are the scammers I have ever seen in my life. They took my photo and Id and they vanished into air. The moment I uploaded my details they changed my password and even after updating my password they blocked me to enter. All this is because I tried to redeem my points. Bunch of idiots looting people's time and effort.
Complete Waste of Time – I signed up and spent a few hours completing surveys. After this, I was asked to provide photo ID to verify my account or cancel and lose my rewards. If this is a requirement it should be asked before wasting hours of my time, because I don't want to provide my government ID to some unknown site. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't want to provide ID and it feels to me like a way of getting out of paying rewards.
Cheats – I did their Surveys until I earned $50. I manged to claim $20.Then the emails ceased. And when I tried to login in, they demanded I use a Verification Process that did not work .When I contacted them they rold me I had to use the Verification process. Robbers!!!
Bamboozled – After accumulating $100 worth of Coles gift cards (5 x $20) they postpone your account until you provide your driver ID and a 'selfie' online. DO NOT waste your time. Unethical.
No survey sites ask for you for ID! – What a shame. I was a member of this survey site for years and it was great. I was always paid promptly for completing surveys and received many gift vouchers over the years. However a few years back the site shutdown and thought that was that. Today I thought I would see if they might be up and running again. I was met with a message to verify my… Read more
account and to allow access to my camera asking for an image of my Driver's licence or passport details, a picture of my face included! I don't think so! Be very aware NO survey sites ask for this info, ever.
Stay Away From This Company!! – I have been a member of this survey site for many years. When I attempted to redeem the $$ I had earned they wanted photo ID but they already knew who I was after all the surveys I had completed, they had all my details.. When I refused to give them my photo ID they wouldn't let me have the money I had earned. So I closed my account with them and… Read more
they had the audacity to tell me they had now suspended my account. After checking them out online I know I'm not the only member who is disgusted with them, there are so many people who have been taken for a ride and lost their earnings.
Somebody really needs to stop them from scamming any more people.
Stay right away from this shonky company.
Once OK now Scammers – I've been with this company for a long time and have never come across this verification scam before today. Its discusting that they can do this to people, it's fraud! Will never do another survey for them...
Another none paying rip off survey site – I'd give them zero stars if it was an option. Saved up $30+ worth of points to cash out, completed the ID verification process, said successful, then next page they locked me out of my account. Sent emails with no reply. There are more trustworthy survey sites to use, who will pay out instantly, beware of this one.
