American Consumer Opinion, also known as ACOP, is a research powerhouse. They have paid out 35 million dollars in rewards to 7 million members worldwide who have taken over 20 million surveys.

The American Consumer Opinion panel was originally created by Decision Analyst in early 1986. Decision Analyst is a member of the BBB and holds memberships with many prestigious marketing associations.

Join to Take Surveys and More

Take paid surveys and participate in product tests and focus groups with American Consumer Opinion. Join the site by navigating to the ACOP website and become a member by creating an account using your Facebook, Google, or Apple account, or simply your email address.

Once you have entered a few personal details, you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you registered. After you’ve completed this, you will be transferred back to the American Consumer Opinion dashboard and you will see a list of surveys you’ll be eligible to take.

Participate to Earn Rewards

Every survey you see listed on ACOP's website will show the number of points you can earn for completing it. You can either log in regularly to the website to check for new survey opportunities, or opt in to receive emails whenever a new survey becomes available. Alternatively, you may provide your cell phone number in order to be notified by text when a new paid survey becomes available.

Once you've participated in just $10 (1000 points) worth of online surveys, you can redeem your points for a cash reward or a gift card of your choosing.

Rack up Points

Each time you take a survey, you will earn points for your opinions. Screener surveys (short surveys) are worth between 5 – 50 points, or an entry into a monthly draw, and are 20 questions or less. Longer surveys offer points ranging from 100 – 5,000.

Great Reward Options

As a panelist of ACOP, you must have a 1,000 point minimum balance ($10 worth) to redeem your points. Once you have reached this minimum, you may redeem your balance for the following options:

• PayPal: For most countries, use PayPal to cash out your earnings in a simple and easy manner. If you decide to use PayPal as your cash out option, make sure your PayPal email matches the email you used to sign up with American Consumer Opinion.

• Hyperwallet: Like PayPal, Hyperwallet is a user-friendly payment platform that operates in 170+ countries. Allow 8-12 weeks for payment and receive a confirmation email once your money is available.

• Sweepstakes Cash Out: Use your points toward sweepstakes entries that give you a chance to win a variety of lucrative prizes. (Note that once a sweepstakes has been entered using your points, you do not get your points back, even if you are not selected as a winner).

• Charity Donations: Choose to donate your money to a variety of credible charities.

American Consumer Opinion Surveys

ACOP offers online surveys to its members that are interesting and quick, with the average survey taking approximately 10 minutes to complete.

In addition to online surveys, participate in other research opportunities such as product testing, focus groups, and judging the newest advertising campaigns. You can expect to receive invitations for participation from American Consumer Opinion several times a year.

Household Surveys

A few times a year ACOP sends out a survey that pertains to each household. The survey asks what products and services you use on a day-to-day basis. If you participate in this survey, you will be more likely to receive additional future survey invitations, which can translate into earning more points!

Prize Draws

If you attempt to complete a survey but are prevented from doing so (i.e., you are disqualified), you will automatically receive an entry into the Monthly Screener Drawing. Prizes can vary, though they typically consist of $100 Amazon gift cards. Winners lists are published monthly and are accessible directly from your ACOP account dashboard. In any given month, $500 worth of prizes is usually awarded.

Invite Friends to ACOP!

American Consumer Opinion is always looking to grow its family worldwide. If you know a family member, friend or co-worker who would enjoy sharing their opinions in exchange for great rewards, then refer them to ACOP using your unique referral link (available in your account). Each time you successfully refer a new member, you will receive an entry into a monthly draw worth 5,000 points! Currently, recruits from the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and France are permitted.

BBB Accreditation

American Consumer Opinion's parent company, Decision Analyst, is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Arlington, Texas (and has been for over a decade). They maintain a solid BBB rating.

Is ACOP Legit?

American Consumer Opinion is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel run by Decision Analyst - a credible market research firm. The ACOP website has been online for more than 20 years and with millions of survey takers worldwide, BBB accreditation and over $35 million in payments issued to members, ACOP is a safe and legit survey site.

Although some users may have varying levels of success with the website (i.e. users outside of Western nations may not be invited very often to complete surveys), it doesn't mean that the panel itself is illegitimate. American Consumer Opinion is available in 11 different languages in over 200 countries.

Eligibility: International members accepted, aged 14+. Limit of one person per household.

Absolutely nonsense. Now, one may easily understand the tempo, if this sort of comment is made.
This is the most common reply to be found in case of all the American Consumer Opinion panelists. So, that's the reason for such low rating.
Reason: Payment can only be expected(only expected) after 8 months. Though they have mentioned it as 8-12 months. Mine is already 15 months elapsed.
One will literally have to CRY before these people. Your mails will not be responded, if it is confined to delayed payment.

I have been a member for years and have never had a problem. It is a little slow to accumulate points here but they always pay out.

September 23, 2017 by Madeline from United States

I cashed out on October 28, 2013 for a Paypal redemption. After many e-mails regarding this, I finally heard that they are "working on" getting payments out and that there has been a delay. Now what? I am happy to report that ACOP has come through with my Paypal redemption. I do not know why they were having payment problems, but I am happy that they came through.

I did not review ACOP earlier because very little was happening. Most surveys were brief screeners that earned 5 points. It takes 1000 points to earn a payout, and I just achieved that a few days ago. I selected the Paypal option, so I was surprised to get the message that it will take 8-12 weeks to be paid! Paypal takes 1 business day. I am disappointed... 6 months to earn $10, then another 2-3 months to receive the money. It doesn't seem worth it.

This place is THE WORST! The surveys are fine, but once you go to cash out, they will give you the run around about mailing your check. I cashed out on 5/31 and just received my check this week (9/12). What's worse is they only sent the check because I complained to the BBB. Stay away from this company if you want to actually be paid for your time.
