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.

4 to 7 months to get paid (after you reach C/O minimum) is unacceptable! Too bad, I enjoyed their surveys.

August 29, 2017 by Kellie from United States

they are CONSISTENTLY late about payments. they do pay and the more u harass them on twitter the quicker it moves.

I've been a member of American Consumer Opinion, for about three months and cashed out at 1000 points (that's $10 paypal money). The money actually got approved into my Paypal account, and when I bought items off the internet, the payment was accepted, so now I know that it's genuine. The only reason in which I didn't give the full 5 stars, is because the payment process is so slow and it takes weeks to a couple of months, for the payment from ACO to be approved. A good survey website and apart from the payment slowness, I'm a happy member.

The frequency of surveys is terrible. Only four this year that actually gave me any points. Most of them make me go through a bunch of questions to say that sorry the survey is now closed.

I've been with this panel since 2013 and only cashed out twice. One in 2013, one in 2015, and I have now another paypal redemption pending... for 5 weeks. Never more than $15. It always took ages for the "pending" to become an actual payout.

I contacted them last night because it doesn't even state on the site's FAQ how long it takes to process a paypal payment. The reply was initially an automated one stating they had received my message, and then a few hours later this one arrived:

Please allow for 8-12 weeks before you receive your payment from the time of cash out. We are currently processing your payment. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks,
Sue Davis

How the heck does it take that long to process a digital payment? I get rewards from other sites shortly after submitting a request or st the most, within a couple of weeks for paypal redemptions.

I will not be using ACOP any more after redeeming the last batch of points. I was stuck at 980 for ages waiting to do just this. It is not worth my time, and it is not worth yours.

This is a good survey site, they send you surveys and they give you a date on when you need to complete them by in order to see if you qualify which is good. The only issue I have is it takes to long for them to payout. I have cashed out several times on another panel and I am still waiting on one payout from these guys it's been well over a month. 8-12 weeks is just a little excessive to wait on a payout.
