Most of my best friends are students and have been complaining to me as long as I can remember about not having enough money to go out and have fun. Most of you get a maintenance loan which goes on accommodation, food and water, travel and the occasional night out. But then a new game comes out, your favourite singers latest CD comes out. Well today I’m going to show you how to get these things and more, for free…

Of course I use the term “Free” loosely. You will be earning them, but you’ll be paying in vouchers, I’d like to introduce you to my good friend Valued Opinions www.valuedopinions.co.uk This is an online survey company who work for all sorts of companies across the UK (Including more often than not, Waitrose)
These companies rely on feedback to ensure they are giving a good service to customers, so they pay Valued Opinions and other Survey companies to construct a survey which you, the customer complete. At the end of each survey you’ll be given a reward, this can be anything from 25p (Unusual) To £5 (also unusual) per survey. Normally you’ll be sent 50p, £1, £1.50 surveys to complete. They take about 15 minutes to answer if you answer honestly, and given that some questions are in there to trick people out I would advise that you answer in honesty. Look out for questions which read “Please select Satisfied for this question for Quality control”
So first thing to note here is that your information is kept confidential, few surveys ask for more information than your name, age, region and shopping habits, of course some ask about banking and such things, but you can always withdraw from a survey if you’re not comfortable answering it.
So you build up the amount in your account as seen below, my brother has £2.25, when you reach £10 you can select a voucher to use, a physical voucher like one for M&S will take a short while to reach you, but if you save for an amazon Voucher (£15) you will be emailed the code within half an hour and be able to spend it there and then. To see the full range of vouchers available look here http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/rewards
So I’ve been a member of many survey companies, Toluna, Survey Junkie etc, But Valued Opinions is the one that has not only been most usable but also has paid me the most. At last count I think I’ve had around £150 of Amazon vouchers through them, all for taking 15 minutes a day to answer a survey.
So for all you guys and girls looking to earn a little extra, this could be something worth considering!
Until next time, keep saving
