by Donna, Nov 19 '09

Great site. Wish they used Pay Pal. They recently started issuing Amazon e-credits which you get immediately upon cashout. Cashout is great; only need $5. I have made over $100 since the summer. Only problem is OTX surveys. They now use a lot of them and I will not waste my time even though you get an instant win chance if you don't qualify. I delete OTX surveys directly from my e-mail.

In My Opinion they are Ok
by Lori, Nov 13 '09

I have been a panelist for this company for about a year. It started out slow but the survey's have been coming in pretty regularly. They pay in a timely manner as well. I try to avoid the survey's from OTX. I think that place is a hoax. You are working on their survey's for a good amount of time, then bam they kick you out. I am very careful and thoughtful with my answers. So I know that's not the problem. It's one of the better survey places.

Referral Scam
by Ali, Oct 28 '09

Since May 2009 I've made about $40 with Opinion Outpost. Not a whole lot, but I can cash out quickly and they pay quickly.

Now the other day a friend of mine was asking about joining so I sent him the email through Opinion Outpost's site. I watched my friend open up the email, click my referral link, sign up, and even watched him take his first survey! "Cool," thought I, "An extra $2!"

Lo and behold, there is no record of coming from my account. My friend is all signed up, but I get no referral credit. Customer service was prompt when I asked them about it, but told me no way, no how did it log in their system. Very fishy.

Overall, not the worst site, but don't expect anything from the referral system.

I've been with Opinion Outpost for over a year now & they've always paid out their memebers when you go to cash out...when receiving a cheque it seems to take forever, but being Canadian I get paid in US FUNDS which is cool...They have a good variety of surveys...never had a problem with the company..would recommend to anyone for sure...takes time but the rewards do add up...only thing that sucks is come March of 2010 I believe they no longer will be sending out cheques & you can only receive Amazon Gift Certs to redeem online

by Kevin, Oct 21 '09

I have been with this company for a while and they are in my top 3. I love the new Amazon option where you get an instant code to use immediately no waiting (and there is no charge for doing so). You can also request a check which I always get faster than any other company. I don't qualify for there surveys as often as I like. You will not regret joining them.

by Barbara, Oct 14 '09

This company has given me no problems. I have no complaints. When I asked to receive a check it came in less than a week. There was once a problem with a survey that I received but it was fixed and I was still credited my points and I've never had a problem with not receiving my payments. I've noticed many people complain about OTX surveys and Opinion Outpost does send invitations for those but I like them. I highly recommend this site.

Incentive Switch now charges you for incentive!
by Kevin, Oct 13 '09

Watch it. I just received notice from them that they are changing their incentive program. They try to make it sound like it is to your benefit, but I just found out the hard way that you you get charge to redeem your own incentive! What does this mean? If you redeem for an Amazon certificate code, $20 = $2 extra dollars from your rewards. Previously 200 points = $20 cash. Now 220 points = $20 Amazon + $2 redemption fee. That is rediculous! 200 points should = $20 Amazon. Sorry, but I should not be charged extra for a "reward". I will be looking elsewhere for surveys and I suggest you do too.

One of best survey sites available
by Adam, Oct 02 '09

I've been using O.O. (Opinion Outpost) for 2+ years now. They offer a LOT of surveys, probably 10 new ones a week. Their incentives pay IMMEDIATELY, but they are guilty of having a lot of incentives that have you take the full survey only to disqualify you at the end as "Inelligible" so you waste your time. But that's maybe 1 in 4 surveys so 75% of the time they Pay nicely & Play 'Fair'. Their Sweepstakes is a joke and they haven't responded to 2 of my written requests for a list of winners which they claim they will provide. I thought the $50 instant winner was a joke too having taken 200 hundred surveys now (200 entries) and having never once won and they won't answer any inquiries about winners. I see 1 review above saying they won it so that's good to know. They do have a big problem of listing surveys as STARTED as if you are to complete it, but you've already been excluded from it. Kind of annoying. But again, GREAT incentives and payouts. Would highly recommend.

Not bad
by Thomas, Oct 01 '09

This site is ok if you don't mind being dq alot. It's about half survey closed already and don't qualify most times with their invites. I stay with them because I do complete a small number of surveys. The $5 minimum cash out is a plus. Too bad they sometimes use OTX, best to skip those. I like that they offer points which can be converted to cash for a survey, no forced sweep entry like some places. A decent site to be part of.

This site is a blessing in a sea of sharks! They pay quickly, send a decent amount of surveys, and have respectable customer service, in my experience.

My only complaint is that they have started using OTX. But, at least they let you know up front that it is an OTX-sponsored survey. I usually avoid those.

by Emily, Sep 07 '09

This is one of the better survey sites. However with them switching to using OTX dreaded surveys. Hardly worth the effort. WHY do these good companies use OTX? It causes their reputation to suffer. I have deleted my account do to OTX on Opinion Outpost. OTX ruins a lot of good sites with their crooked way of doing business.

by Daniella, Sep 04 '09

Excellent site!! This is actually the first survey site I've gotten paid for so far (my second check is on it's way :D).

It IS hard to qualify for a lot of the surveys. It takes at least 1 to 2 months to get enough points to cash out. Very frustrating at times, BUT they always pay, and you get paid fast (it only took about 2 weeks to receive my first check).
And the surveys, despite being so hard to qualify for, are generally easy and not too boring. You also have the choice of being placed into a sweepstakes anytime you don't qualify for a survey.

What I really love is that you don't have to wait until you make a gazillion points to cash out. The minimum is 50 points, which equals $5, and it's just cash! No silly prize swapping or stupid lotteries!

They're also quick to respond if you ever have any problems with something. I've never received any rude responses either.

The good things about Opinion Outpost are the amount of surveys they send which is a lot. Also, they pay quickly.
What I intensely dislike about them is that you spend so time answering so many questions, then they tell you that you don't qualify, more so than any other survey site I subscribe to.

good survey site/they DO pay
by nancy, Aug 11 '09

I'm very pleased with this site, they send surveys often, they usually credit at once, its easy to caahout, $5 threshold for a paper check. Wondering why they dont offer paypal, seems cheaper for them than cutting a check.

Sometimes they send OTX surveys and I end up not qualifying but sometimes I can qualify for another and get paid more than I wouold to do an OTX survey at another site.

Their support is excellent, they go out of their way imo to research and help you with any issues you may have.

They also have on occasion sent me products to evaluate & keep, sometimes followed up by another survey, from a different company and I have had only good experiences :)

Opinion Outpost is by and far the best survey site I have found. Their payouts are among the fastest. If you dont qualify for a survey they give you a chance at instant win of 50 bucks which I won and they paid in less than 2 weeks. They are just the easiest and most honest. Since June I have made over 200 dollars which is by far and large the most I have made with anybody.

Now Reading my IP Address
by john, Jul 24 '09

Everything was going great until I logged into my brothers laptop (who was also a member). That shut me down. I e-mailed them, told them what happened and they reinstated me. However, after that they have sent me about 30 surveys and I have qualified for ZERO, NADA. I unsubscribed and will change my IP address and then reapply. They also, sometimes give me a survey company for a survey to do that I am already a member of and that company will also read my IP. So, better be honest with all answers. Opinion Outpost is still the best.

I like this site. Out of 10 surveys you might get qualified for one but it is worth spending that time. They do credit your points on time and are very prompt in sending checks. I have got $50 checks so far.

The only issue is with OTX surveys. After spending 15 to 20 mins they say that you are not a match for the survey. Expect for that everything else good.

I am happy to this this is one of my favorites - They are 100% legit, EVERY single survey has a cash incentive ranging from $1.50 to $12.00 - sometimes more - most are $2-$5, sometimes you get $18 ones. I get a dozen ore more per month, and easily make $20-$40 per month - have always received my checks on time, very nice to deal with and honest !

Good Company brought down by OTX!
by Jeffrey, Jun 28 '09

This panel has good incentives and they are quick to send out payment. However, the problem is with the OTX surveys. After you have spent 15 or 20 minutes doing an OTX, they will either disqualify you, time out the survey, or make a computer error come up. This way they have your answers, but you never get paid. They are a scam company and I wish Opinion Outpost would stop using them. However, until they do, I must warn everyone! --- WARNING! -- IF YOU SEE AN OTX SURVEY COME UP, JUST DELETE IT!!!

Opinion Outpost: good, but...
by Randall, Jun 27 '09

The good: Opinion Outpost has a low pay threshhold of $5, which keeps me coming back to respond to their surveys. If it were much higher I'd often pass. Also, they pay promptly, within two weeks by my experience. Aside from a few occasional tech glitches, it is usually easy to get your information at their site.
The bad: OTX is very frustrating. I have actually earned points on an OTX survey, but most of my points have been from other ones Opinion Outpost uses. OTX will virtually get a survey out of you after several responses over many minutes and THEN will dump you as not qualifying. OTX's typical qualifying round is about as long as some others' full surveys! When I see OTX I think, "Oh, here's a waste of time."

I receive 15 to 20 survey invitations from Opinion Outpost. This is TOO many since I don't qualify for most. Also, many of them are OTX surveys. However, the pay is decent compared to the length of the surverys and you can cash out at just $5. I earn about $5 each month. Checks arrive 5 to 10 days after I request them - which is FAST!

The Best Survey Company
by Kevin, Apr 27 '09

Opinion Outpost is the best survey panel I've ever experienced. Customer service is great either by phone or by email. They always answer their phones. They always respond to emails. I had two credit problems in the past because they was a technical error with the surveys, and they properly credited my account while I was on the phone with them. The survey incentives are very reasonable, and the length of the surveys are very good. Payments are processed quickly and in a timely manner when I cash out. They are simply the best in my opinion. All survey panels should be like this. They have truly set the standard. By far, Opinion Outpost has been the most profitable survey panel for me as well.

Not A Single Problem
by George, Apr 02 '09

I joined Opinion Outpost last summer and have made $113 so far. I have not had a single problem with this company. I have always been paid and the last check for $9.00 came 4 days after I requested it. (This was about 2 weeks ago). I also won $50 in their instant win and was promptly paid for it along with the other $15 I had earned at the time. I have requested 4 payouts since joining, and none have ever taken longer than 3 weeks to arrive. One time I earned $12.50 for watching clips from a movie, which took about 45 minutes. One thing I make sure of is that I am consistant and honest with my answers when trying to qualify for a survey. I think that helps a lot.

I just cashed out for the first time last week and was expecting to wait 4-8 weeks for my check. I just got it in the mail today; one week later! Very impressed. It is super easy on Opinion Outpost's website to track your opinion points and the related cash value, what you have cashed in, and what you haven't. If they stay this way, I'll stay just as satisfied!

No need for OTX
by Joy, Mar 21 '09

I have been with Opinion Outpost for sometime and have been fairly happy with them. However once they started using OTX more often i have become progressively unhappy with this panel. How can OTX be legitimate if you end up "trying" to take 5-10 surveys in a row of which 2 out of 5 or 4 out of 10 are the exact same survey. Now provided you answer the questions to these surveys slightly different. Meaning you answered a question one way and didn't qualify you would then select a different answer and assume you would, well that is not the case. Sometimes OTX won't qualify you regardless of what answer you choose meaning OTX is a scam and you will more than likely have to take 5-10 surveys before you will qualify. Opinion Outpost needs to drop them.

They seriously need to drop OTX...
by Kevin, Mar 20 '09

...because about 75% of the surveys I get are from them, and if you take a second to look around this site you'll realize how shady they are. Other than the OTX surveys you'll usually qualify and receive points for the surveys, IF you take them as soon as they get to your mailbox.

Bottom line, this is probably one of the best survey sites out there, which really isn't saying much. They'd be much higher rated if they ended their partnership with OTX, or at least offered partial compensation for the time you waste doing their scammy surveys.

Had an issue with an OTX survey. Wrote to customer service, had an answer and points credited within an hour.

Many OTX surveys, which is a downer. The plus side is, even if you don't qualify (and you know you won't already), there is the chance for instant win, sweepstakes, and charity donations.

Payment is quick and painless, with a low threshold.

by Kristy, Jan 20 '09

I've made over $45 with this site! I've never had a problem with them either. If you don't qualify for a survey they give you a chance to enter a drawing, instant win, or donate. It would be nice if they had paypal option. But it really doesn't take that long to receive your check. I requested payment on 1/10 and received it in the mail today! Highly recommend this site!

Opinion Outpost - Payments, OTX
by Tarrence, Jan 07 '09

I saw comment from a 'Kevin' titled 'Payments' and I had to respond. I have been with Opinion Outpost for 2 years. Check your facts. If you don't like the OTX surveys then don't respond to those surveys. Moreover give them a call about your check issue. They have always come through for me.
They process check payments fast. I know they had a few hiccups a few months back as part of a new check process, but it's great now. Much faster than other panels. Again the reason I know this is because I call them and they answer my questions.
They are 100% legitimate company owned by Western Wats. They are not owned by OTX as reported by 'Kevin'. I confirmed this today. How did I confirm this? I called their toll free number 877-254-1234 and what do you know they answer the phone. They always answer during business hours (had issues with them returing voicemail messages). Opinion Outpost has always worked hard to resolve my issues.

by kevin, Jan 04 '09

i have been with Opinion Outpost for about a year and a half now and they owe me $175.00 when i do the payout it says our payment service is down till February and that as last October and when i emailed them about it they told me to wait or file a complaint to the BBB or file a suite..

and to there surveys WOW there surveys suck!! the reason that Opinion Outpost uses OTX surveys is that OTX ownes Opinion Outpost as of july 1 2008 that is from an email i got from OTX when i asked about a survey that i did from Opinion Outpost.

After about 4 months of satisfied service for some resons I stopped getting surveys. I used to get 2-5 e-mails for a survey a week. Now it's been about a month and a half and I haven't got a single one. I e-mailed them to ask if I was removed from the panel but they replied "Your account is still active sometimes it may take a while for a survey to be e-mailed to you" That was about a month ago and still no surveys. I think I'm going to unjoin the panel.

A strange site for me
by Ryan, Oct 31 '08

I've been with OO for nearly 3 years and will continue to stick with them though at times I wonder why. I make money hand over fist for weeks at a time then nearly nothing for sometimes months. $542 in 3 years makes me stay. My big complaint with them is many of their surveys are OTX surveys, among the longest, most boring and tedious surveys in the industry. I've never had to contact them unlike several other sites. They have their querks but, they are worth it.

Slow for my first year and a half...
by Lydia, Oct 29 '08

Joined 01/07 only cashed out $8.10 in 08/07 because I didn't qualify for enough surveys. This October, I've qualified for enough surveys that I've made $13.50 and I probably spent a total of 45 minutes taking surveys to make that much.

If you're not in the demographics they're looking for, obviously you're not going to qualify for the survey. Some demographics are in high demand so it'll say they've received enough from them and the survey is closed to you. Some dems are completely different from what you are, therefore they're closed to you. If they're doing a survey on fem protection products, would a man qualify? If they're doing a survey on men's hair loss treatments, would a woman qualify? Would an 18-year old qualify for a survey about Medicare? These are just a few examples of why you might not qualify.

Note: Many of the surveys only work in Internet Explorer. That's why I give one bar off the survey quality, since it means I have to use a browser I don't like.

Made $60.00 so far.
by Ian, Oct 28 '08

I've made $60.00 in a few months, you can cash out at five dollars, and the checks arrive reasonably soon. They redirect you to other companies for surveys, but always give you what they promise. The average payout for one survey is from 3-10 dollars. A lot of the surveys turn me down, but a lot of them also pay me. No "prizes" or stupid lotteries, only real money. some surveys have problems, and others will stay on your list of surveys forever (even when you didn't qualify,) but this site is better than any other one I've used.

No longer getting surveys
by Shawn, Oct 25 '08

In July 2008 I filed a complaint against Opinion Outpost with the BBB. Opinion Outpost failed to respond to my numerous emails as to why after completing certain surveys the payment would be marked as "pending" and then several months later changed to "closed" and no compensation was given. After filing the complaint (by the way Opinion Outpost has several BBB complaints filed against them) I stopped getting anymore surveys from them. Each time I email Opinion Outpost as to inquire why I am not longer getting surveys they reply with the same "preformed" response.

I absolutely love Opinion Outpost! I get plenty of surveys from them (about 10+ a week), and most of them pay very well. I've been invited to try lots of new products for free, and they always showed up. I love the ability to cash out at only $5, but I usually make more than that on just one or two surveys. While the checks take a long time to come in the mail, they ALWAYS show up.

My only complaint is the fact that they are starting to use more and more OTX surveys. They're the most dishonest survey company out there. You fill out the entire survey and then they tell you that you don't qualify and you don't get any points. They've even taken an hour long survey from my son and then told him he didn't qualify!

Opinion Outpost has great format of how they put things together on the site. There is many options people look for but you might not be able to qualify for most surveys. Still, Opinion Outpost is worth trying out. The only thing missing from this site, is earning money for partial accomplishment. The least amount of money needed to cash out is $5.00 which is very reasonable. Even if there is disadvantages, Opinion Outpost is reasonable and worth the experience.

Weigh the pros and cons
by Kelly, Jun 22 '08

Pros:
* They do pay well and very promptly and give a fair number of surveys per month.
* Nice website layout, easy to navigate, easy to keep track of your info.
* Decent customer service and good response times.
Cons:
* Will often give lengthy screeners that appear to be the survey, but then kick you out for not qualifying.
* Lately has had increases in the number of badly coded surveys resulting in error messages and surveys that show as being open, but are unusable.
* Has started to use more and more OTX surveys, which are dishonest and useless - ranked at surveypolice as the worst of all.

Overall, I'm happy with Outpost - but only when compared to other survey sites. I'd like to see it improved a bit, but I'm sticking with them. For all their flaws, they're still one of the better ones out there.

Also they don't mess around by offering you "prizes"

Don't know why no one has posted this info before, it will help alot of people make more money.

Best Paying Site So Far!!!
by Marc, Mar 12 '08

I have been with opinion outpost for approximately 3 months and have made far more here than any other site. It is true that you don't always qualify for surveys. This can get annoying at times. I do feel you should get some sort of reward for having to fill out the the pre qualify information. I have to admit I don't even understand why they make you do so much pre qualify for each survey. Opinion Outpost knows who you are already. You would think they wouldn't make you waste so much time, but it seems all opinion sites do that. Overall when you do qualify you will get a good reward. I have made almost 40 bucks for about 10 completed surveys. Not bad for a few minutes here and there. Oh and some surveys can be quite long and repetitive. They will ask the same questions over and over or even ask the same question in a different way. Oh well as long as they pay who cares.

Great panel, but...
by Leanne, Mar 04 '08

I have to agree that it can be hard to qualify. It seems that more often than not, you won't qualify - and it would be nice to receive a partial reward for the effort, as some other panels offer. It makes you wonder how well the profiles actually work, since one would think that they'd send the surveys to the appropriate demographic, but... On the flip side, when you cash out, Opinion Outpost pays quickly AND there's no messing with gift cards and other prizes. Cash is what you get - and who doesn't want that?!

Hard to Qualify
by Brian, Feb 22 '08

Cash is the best possible reward :) That is why I recommend Opinion Outpost. However, it is really really hard for me to qualify for their surveys. I have probably qualified for maybe 25% of the survey invites I receive (and usually a lot so it gets even more frustrating to try and try and try yet again with no success). Sometimes I don't feel motivated to do them because of that.

Still, maybe it's just my demographic info or whatever.

Opinion Outpost is streaky when it comes to surveys. You could easily go a month without hearing from them and then get 5 invites in 2 days' time. When you do complete a survey, you get a generous cash compensation. All you need is 5 bucks to cash out and the check is at your house in a month. No playing games with trading in points for gift cards or anything like that. Just a fast cash payment. A very solid site.

by Joseph, Feb 05 '08

Very generous with incentives for the amount of time put into surveys. As soon as your survey is completed, it credits then, unless specified. Cash out is $5.00. Within 3-4 weeks checks arrive. After so many surveys, Opinion Outpost quits sending them. I went over 9 months without a single survey until I contacted them. Maybe they throttle panelists. Sometimes, if you check into the website, you'll see a few surveys there. Pay attention to your bulk mail. I've found many directed to it.

they do pay however, and if you qualify for the surveys, you do get a decent incentive.

the problem is you don't qualify for many, and they don't give you a small amount for attempting like epoll, globalmarketplace, mypoints, harrispoll, and many others. They need to update this policy.
