1957horses Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You should complain about that I do AFTER I hang up to my husband, mom, my dogs or bird or any body else that may be there after I hang up, and grumbel for a while to myself.................... Oh you mean to the person/focus who called?? I might say something I might be sorry for after I hang up then I would never get any more calls again so no, not to them.....................

avemaria Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was just in the middle of watching a new TV episode for $5 and out of nowhere it just cut off and went to the 'you don't qualify' screen... this has to take the cake on 'are you kidding me' moments...

TomServo Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 What's the deal with these guys anyway? I only signed up with them as part of a way to free myself from the "Inbox Dollars" boat anchor that had been attached to me for well over a year. Found out (unfortunately after signing up) that this is one of those cheap outfits that only pays by giftcards and not by PayPal or even checks. And then, to add insult to injury, they take a big chunk out of that. Costs you $25 bucks for a $20 Visa card, or $22 for a $20 Amazon card (where you would still lose the other $3 on shipping charges... if you're lucky). The other options being even more useless than these, of course. So I say to myself.... "OK self, just get your $25 in quick, get your card and dump these fools." So they send me this godawful survey that wastes two hours of my time, but is supposedly worth $8.00 which will get me very close to the line. So far so good..... Except now it's two weeks later and they haven't yet "approved" the "reward" for that ridiculous survey. Meanwhile, of course, they still send the daily invites. Pretty obvious what the game plan here is... they want to make sure I'm on the hook for more than 50 cents or so before they "approve" that godawful survey so I don't dump their crooked operation. Damn, I'm getting too good at reading these morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Opinions profits from our survey taking and wants additional profit from our Amazon or Visa reward. My answer is to unsubscribe after I reach payout. I will be a fool but only once.

avemaria Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 they really do think we're stupid.. i wrote in twice about the option to 'save for a higher amount', like 50 or 100 dollars so we could only get hit with the 'admin fee' once instead of 5 times.. they wrote back telling me it's not possible to do that...

fluffy501 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I was doing this survey about charities, was about 80% through and suddenly I clicked next on one page and got the message they've got enough participants and the survey is now closed. No you can't do that Valued Opinions. I've never seen them do that before, I wrote them an angry email about it saying to give me the reward.
