Payment Proof - My Survey

Rewards from My Survey are administered by PerksPlus. As an initial test, I redeemed S$5 using 280 points, which was the minimum redemption threshold. I was delighted to receive the payment amount of S$5 seven days after requesting for it!

If I had chosen to redeem for a NTUC voucher instead, the rate of exchange would be more favorable at only 500 points for a S$10 voucher. Once I hit the 500 points threshold (currently at 410 points, probably would need another survey or two), I will be requesting for a cash voucher to see how it would work.

Cheers!

Paid Survey - Valued Opinions

[Category] Paid Survey
[Name] Valued Opinions
[Reward] Gift Certificates for major retailers e.g. Golden Village, Robinsons, Cold Storage

[Redemption Threshold] SGD $20
[Referral System] No

[Review]

The Valued Opinions website may not look like it has much to offer, but it looks like a totally legitimate Paid Survey operator in Singapore. Instead of a points system, it uses a cash tracking system which allocates a fixed amount of money to each individual survey. So far, I've joined Valued Opinions for a little less than two weeks and have completed two surveys, both of which offers pretty good money. Typically, your Valued Opinions account will be credited within 28 days of successfully completing a paid survey. Till then, it will be in a pending state.
