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.

I have been a member for a couple of years. Last year when I finally got enough to get a check it didn't take to long to receive it. This year it has been 8 weeks and I still have not heard anything. It takes forever to get enough points to cash out and most surveys I do not qualify for. There are better survey sites out there.

I have been with ACO for several years and they have always paid quickly and very easy to request payment. Lately there has been lots of surveys I didn't qualify for but didn't spend too much time on them.

When I first started I thought this wasn't a legit website but I gave it a chance, the surveys started to come in and every survey I could do I did. When I first hit my 1000 point mark I cash out for a check it took 5 months to get the check. Now this year I cashed out 2 checks and a Tango card this year so far. All in total I made 82 and something points. Now it takes 2 months for my stuff to come to me, than the first time it did. I guess it depends everyone has different experiences. I really would love to test a product out that would be nice. I have on other survey sites oh well. Sometimes you just gotta hang in there IF you can with this survey site.

For lack of better words but straight to the point,THEY SUCK. I have been a member of their panel since 2008. Never got many surveys and only cashed out once for $13.82 in all that time. My wife whom is 13 years younger than me, I'm 58 just signed up with their site and then a month later I could no longer log into my account which I had a few points in and their response is that i either violated their rules or had a different email address.I had or did neither.I told them i wanted concrete answers in which their reply was it looks like someone in your household has the same home address, I did not see that in the rules. Most panels told my wife that only one per household was allowed.They let her earn points and then ousted me. I told them that I would go to the survey police with this as I've been with them since 08 and they didn't respond back so i believe they just didn't care. I also believe that they are discriminatory.

I have sent several emails to them and my cash out is only $13.10, I have been waiting for months to get my check. I get a bunch of lies I believe of oh we will put you on the top of the list for payment. That list must be mighty high, I still haven't received payment. If you search the scam area it says this is a great place and all legit. In my opinion, it is only legit if they actually pay their participants. I just keep deleting every invite I get and as soon as I do if ever get my check I will unsubscribe.
