We are registered for Shopper Thoughts which is basically market research for Tesco and we earn points for each survey we complete.

 

However, have just seen an ad for a site called Valued Opinions which claims to allow you to earn vouchers for money off in high street stores by completing online market research. Apparently privacy is guarenteed and e mail details never passed on.

 

Money is tight here and I am tempted to register but wonder if anyone on the Forum does this and if its really worth it Feedback, anyone Thanks!

I do those surveys and so far (about a year) had around £40 in Sainsburys vouchers but the surveys are hideously dull and many times you get 10 minutes into a survey before it decides you are not suitable which is very annoying.

 

On the whole I don't think they are worth my time but other people may not be as impatient as me

[merlina]

yes - I do valued opinions

It takes awhile for the cash to mount up and they've recently added a charge to claim your vouchers, which is very annoying as you lose another £1.50 for each claim.

There's also the annoyance factor of half-completing surveys before they decide you don't qualify for them.

 

But I did save up enough vouchers to almost pay for a posh new mobile phone last year and this year I've bought a new posh sonicare toothbrush, so it's probably worth it

My friend did secret shoppers to earn a few extra ££

 

It involved going to a local shop and writing your views on your experience. She earned between £10-25 per visit.

I did try, but thought it just wasn't worth it to be honest.

I am sure they also send you through the survey then after a loooong while say you are not suitable, but still use your results, to save themselves from paying out

I do mystery shopping & mystery dining now, which is more fun & you get a free meal out

I'm registered to do surveys for nectar points - get LOADS of invites (usually at least one a day), but I think I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of surveys I've been "eligible" for - often spent ten minutes filling out questions only then to be told I'm not eligible. As Cinnamon says, by the time you get to that point, I reckon they've already got the info they wanted.

I do still do them, but only if I'm at a loose end (or struggling to sleep!) I don't go out of my way to participate anymore.
