Started with this company in August '09. They paid well for surveys and I could get a check from them pretty quickly.
Then they merged with SSI and everything went downhill. Surveys are worth almost nothing now. For the past month or so, I get a survey invite and when I try to take the survey, I get some generic SSI webpage that states I cannot take the survey. The webpage states that I either already took the survey (probably not since I just received an invite); my IP does not match my location (doubtful); I already took the survey and rushed through it so I won't get points (uh, I keep getting blocked from taking the survey); or my account has shown to have a pattern or irregular activity.
I finally had it with being blocked from taking surveys and closed my account today. I could have contacted customer service, but customer service has always been bad there, so why bother.

I signed up for this site in June 2011, after reading positive reviews online. I started out slowly, earning $5 every few weeks. Then the surveys picked up and I dedicated more time to the site. It was great and by 12/19 I had made $290.

At some point during the fall or winter, the site was bought out by or merged with another company. Since this happened I have not been happy with the site. The surveys have a lot of errors. Some start with an error when you click on the invitation. Others let you complete the whole survey and then throw at error at you, instead of crediting you your points. You now get lower payouts. It used to be $1 per 10 minutes. Now it's more like 50 cents per 10 minutes.

Visit their Facebook page to see many complaints about them.

When I first signed up I made like $7 in a day but they didn't let me cash out for amazon gift cards. I decided to give the citi debit card incentive a try & it's worth it. I made like $35 in the first week and was happy but now i'm getting a couple surveys a day and i'm lucky to make $2-$4 per day. I get disqualified on probaly 7 out of 10 surveys and i'm started to get mad at opinion outpost. I feel like it's not worth my time anymore. Last month I could make $5-$10 in an hour which is great for a survey site. I got surveys worth $1.5-$3 each & in rare occasions I got a $4-$5 survey which could be completed in 15 minutes or so. Now i'm getting $0.50-$1.50 surveys which sucks because all the other survey panels have $0.50 surveys and that's why I joined opinion outpost, for good paying surveys! It now takes a week and 1/2 to get a $25 debit card credit so i'm thinking about leaving as soon as I get a job (i'm 15 btw). This is my source of income and i'm getting sick of surveys.

I have been signed up with them for quite a while. I used to take surveys, get decent points for them and cash out regularly. Then they changed their site completely! Now I am struggling to get anything at all. Tried to cash out what little I have for Amazon and that is now not available anymore. Watch out for surveys that only give you entries into some drawing that probably never happens. I get emails all day, but never qualify for surveys. When I do, they are always VERY long for almost no points. I just want to cash out for SOMETHING and leave, but I don't have enough for the Paypal cashout. So frustrated now!

I had good things to say about this company when I started and I even referred people. Then my account was suddenly inactive. Spent a MONTH dealing with customer service, finally confirming that my account somehow was changed to another person's e-mail with MY password (I think this was a data migration error when they changed, but they never admitted that). It took way too long to resolve, but they did resolve it and I got all my points ($40+ worth) back. Things seem to be ok now, but they apparently merged with SurveySpot who sent me a $20 reward that says it's been claimed already and I never got it. I'll stick around for a bit, since they did fix things for me. But if there are any more problems, I'm leaving.

Folks,
I had been a member of these 2 survey sites for over 4 years. Always took my time on the surveys and gave honest answers. I was always invited to focus groups and attended/finished all of them. They will freeze your accounts on both sites if you are a diligent survey taker who tries to complete every survey they offer. If you look on Facebook at their sites you will see just how many people have had their accounts frozen ..it's astounding! Most of their accounts were frozen when they tried to redeem their incentives they had earned. This is true in my case as well..I DO NOT recommend either site anymore.

Use to be good, don't sign up. Once you get points and money built up they find a reason to freeze your accout and you lose out on your money.

This used to be one of the best survey sites. But now it really gone down to one of the worst. Misguided required times for completing surveys and very low rewards. Do not join them.

Opinion Outpost used to be really awesome until they quit rewarding through Amazon. They still have the Amazon logo but when you try to redeem your points through them, its says that they are temporarily not using Amazon. How long is "temporarily"? I would have loved to be able to use this as a Christmas shopping avenue but alas they are not available. Also, OO seems to have a variety of technical issues which causes survey points to not be credited. I have brought this to their attention several times but nothing has been done. I'm becoming disillusioned with OO and will probably stop using them if/when I can find a site that has Amazon codes as one of their incentives.

Before the change in ownership, this was one of the best survey sites out there. Since being bought by SSI, they have turned into one of the worst. The OO experience is now littered with plentiful surveys for sweepstakes entries only and reduced reward choices.

I am leaving at my next payout threshold.

It's fun if your kids are in school and you have time at home. If you get an error message go back later and click on "survey history" and try to go and do the survey again. Sometimes the survey has issues and you can go back and finish it! I discovered this and then got more cash!!

I've been a member since mid 2010 and really enjoyed the site. Here lately things have been going downhill really fast. It used to be get an invite for a 20 minute survey you would get 20 points, now it seems like 20 or 30 minutes for 15. Another complaint is a lot of times you get routed to a survey hosted by a partner site, do the survey and get to the end and you get an error code or a "you don't qualify". Also the best reward they offer is Amazon gift cards but they yanked them in November and said it would be back up before Christmas but we kept on getting excuses. They finally owned up and said it would be in January 2012. Like I said it USE to be one of the best but with all the errors and missing points I'd have to say they have seen their best days pass them by.

I've seen a lot of negative posts here and don't really understand the problems. I go to OO a lot and except for some problems with the transition of their site I've found them to be a good reputable site. They pay pretty good incentives and pay them out quick unlike most other survey sites where you may have to wait for weeks for them to post your points and then months for them to pay you after cashing in!! OO seems to respect the panelists enough to see that they are treated well. I admit they have had some problems with the site turnover and I lost a little bit in the process, but they were kind enough to keep people informed on their FB page about problems and thats a lot more than you would ever get from some other survey sites.

I have been a panelist with Opinion Outpost for well over a year ands enjoyed it; collected about $100 by check. My problem is I was assured by the staff the checks would continue along with PayPal, not that PayPal was replacing them! For my own reasons, I prefer the checks, and have been advised not to put any accounts on the computer! And they may respond to telephone queries, but they ignore their own question submission site! I have unsubscribed.

This company used to pay really well. I could
make $200/yr or more in the past. Now, you're lucky if you get $50 in a year. And good luck getting the money. Once people are reaching payout level, they try to withhold the money by saying your Internet service isn't compatible with their system. Funny, when I was taking the surveys, the system was very compatible with my computer. The surveys are ok, but they're quite long and the payouts aren't that good. I would tell anyone signing up to be cautious and at first sight of problems-RUN!

It used to be a goood site. But, they were either bought out by, or sold to another horrible site (SSI). Now it seems their site is always down or suffering from bugs or glitches. You collect a bunch of points. When you go to cash in for say an Amazon code. The site magicaly goes down. Or the incentive you wanted is unavailable. So, you have spent a lot of time doing surveys for free. Do not join this site.

OO was my favorite site. And up until recently they were great. But now, they have started to offer alot less money per survey. For the exact same surveys that they used to offer two or three dollars for, they are now offering only fifty cents. And you might spend twenty or thirty minutes for that fifty cents. That's my biggest complaint. They are making it not worth it to spend the time.

Then there are way too many times when you just got the email and it says they are full on quota. So you can't do the surveys. And many will wait till you are on the very last page of a survey to tell you that they are full up. That's the worst. Or they wait to tell you that you didn't qualify, even though you finished the survey. Not all of them do this, but there's quite a few that will pull this on you.

I'm already looking elsewhere to see if there's a better site. OO is going downhill fast.

I had been a panel member of OO for years. I was always treated fairly but always a dearth of surveys. It did take awhile for OO to upgrade their website to a point where I could log in and start taking surveys again-it is still somewhat a work in progess. I strongly suggest participates to write down the ID for every survey they start. It will come in handy if you have a problem. Customer service has addressed 95% of the emails I have sent to them. Oh by the way if you do not like a survey's points to time ratio, you need to check on "no thanks" and then go to your dashboard and click on "take a survey." The next survey offered may be more to your liking-a better point to time ratio. If SurveyHead treated participates like OO, I would be making $300.00 a month-$10 a day X 30 days.

This company used to be good. However, they recently got upgraded and they suck now. Right before they upgraded, I requested a check. However, they have no record of the check being sent, yet they took the points out of my account. I can spend a half hour on a survey only to be told I didn't qualify, which never happened before on their old site. The incentives seem to have gone down. I get emails for a lot of 30 minute surveys that only pay 10 points. I often receive emails to surveys and click on them the same day only to be told that they already have enough respondents. I don't recommend this company to anyone. I want to unsubscribe but I'm waiting to see if they send my check or put my points back in my account. They are really slow to respond to emails. I contacted them a week ago.

Just joined yesterday and got $10 into my paypal account as soon as I redeemed my points.
They send me lots of surveys and I qualify for most of them.

I joined this site on October 2nd, 2011. And it's been around two months, and I've earned over sixty dollars. It probably would be more, as there is a problem with qualifying for surveys, often times I don't. Just today I have tried ten surveys and haven't qualified for a single one.
But with the new site, every time you take a survey, even if you don't qualify, even if you don't qualify, you get entered into a contest for $12,000. But I do not know how legitimate this is beacuse the first draw is later this month. But the site has given me no reason to doubt them so far.

They give many different ways you can redeem your money, including Paypal and Amazon, although Amazon is down for the moment.
It's definitely one that I trust and use often.

I have only been a member for a month or so and had a lot of issues at first because I joined when they were restructuring the site. I finally tried to go to their site and sign in with Firefox instead of IE and I don't know if coincidence or not, but it has worked for me ever since! Today, I redeemed for $10 in PayPal and it credited INSTANTLY! I was floored! Highly recommend!

Certainly one of my preferred panels. I get a good number of invitations. Also if you log on you will usually be able to do a few more. You get a fair amount of rejections, but that's inevitable. Payment per survey is better than average and the thing that really swings it for me.... I redeemed 550 points yesterday and instantly got £25.50 in my Paypal account instead of waiting the usual, unnecessary 4 to 6 weeks like everybody else.

Now that they redesigned their website, this is the best site I have used. I receive at least three emails a day. Plus you are given the option to complete more surveys when you are done. This is amazing for me as I am rarely picked with other websites.

I am receiving about $20 each week in Amazon certificates for about three to four hours of taking surveys. The certificates are delivered within five minutes of my request.

The only downside is the time listed for the surveys is usually off. 20 minute surveys have turned into 45 minute sessions. Plus you will have to invest up to five minutes even for surveys in which you aren't not selected and to which you will receive no reward.

I was very skeptical when they switched over to the SSI model, but I find it way better than SurveySpot. Instead of SurveySpot giving you 50 cents for a 25 minute survey, Opinion Outpost gives $2.00-$2.50 for similar survey.
I had a customer service issue with Opinion Outpost recently and THEY WERE GREAT!! I received a product to try and after completing the survey it was worth 100 points ($10). I never was able to access the survey because Synovate did not set it up right, I called and e-mailed and after talking to a very helpful customer service rep, I was credited the whole 100 points. In an funny twist I ended up getting the fixed survey through SurveySpot, and it was worth 50 points ($0.50) to review all five products sent!! Before you bash Opinion Outpost, compare them to SurveySpot's measly rewards and also you can get Opinion Outpost on the phone which is big to me!!

I have had a love/hate relationship with this panel. I have gone back and forth with them about spending 20 or more minutes and then being told I don't qualify. Most of the time the responses to emails (if you get one) seem to be of an automated-like nature. You can't get anyone on the phone! Now that they've switched you can't get checks which was what attracted me to them. When I tried to cash out w/Paypal I couldn't. They said they were suspending all rewards temporarily. They've gone from bad to worse!! If you don't mind wasting alot of your time for no reward this would be the panel for you!

This is the best survey site for me. I started doing paid surveys a month ago and this is the only site I've cashed out on. I've cashed out THREE TIMES for $10.

I cannot count how many times I've gone through a 20-30 minute survey only to be disqualified on the last few questions.
They tell you that there are no right or wrong answers in a survey but at any given moment during a survey, you can be bumped out so there really are wrong answers and you just wasted 30 minutes of your time and they got a free survey out of you.
They do pay quickly when they do allow you to finish a survey but it's not worth it because you're going to be scammed over and over again.

This was one of my favorites , even cashed out several times, but lately I have been getting invites only to be told I do not qualify , well I did one that I honestly thought I qualified for because now they were asking about a product this went on at least 20 minutes in and they was told I did not qualify I was very mad and sent a e-mail and told them they were getting me to do surveys for free and I don't work for free , I never expected to get a response I thought they were like other sites that ignore you to make a long story short they responded and credited me $2.00 of course I was impressed with them not brushing me off , I think when you get directed to a partners site they most likely do not know how much you have invested in time as they take the word of the partner site.

This is a site I originally loved, quit because of website difficulties and am about to quit a second time. I rejoined because the incentives were reasonable. But if you wanna spend hours never being able to login. filling in endless screening information just to get access to surveys you rarely qualify than be my guest. One time i answered the same screening questions 16 times. i just wanna cashout and never come back. a panel is judged by how easy it is to monitor your rewards account and if you can't login or have to login multiple times to see different pages among the site than the panel blows. And yes i have tried multiple internet browsers with no success.

Defiantly a favorite of mine until their recent change. Love the new look, but I find myself not qualifying for anything. I didn't have any issues in the transition, all my points transferred smoothly. Where previously I could guarantee $5-8 a week at least, that's now down to maybe $2-3. The number of surveys and the rewards for them hasn't changed, but it seems the qualification system has.

The only thing I can think of is that this company is too lazy or understaffed to target their respondent audience, and send everything to everyone, hoping they will get enough respondents. I "qualify" for less than 5% of the surveys I fill out. Disqualification, in most cases, occurs after a significant time investment. It is extremely frustrating to spend several minutes per survey, only to be disqualified and then directed to the consolation prize slot machine that half the time doesn't work and the other half gives you nothing.

I have written numerous times complaining about survey issues and have never received a useful response. It is all canned responses and never a solution.

It took me over 1 year to earn $20, for which I just received payment.

Bottom line, if you have a lot of time to WASTE (as the positive reviewers apparently do) and don't mind waiting a year for a $20 paycheck, then this place is fine. But I have kicked them to the curb.

I had cashed out several times for $50.00. So this time I decided to wait till I got $100.00. Well I am at $104.00 and wanted to cash out. Problem is I have not been moved with the rest of them. There is something with SSI that flagged me. Now a year and a half ago on survey spot I was jipped out of $36.00. I do not understand. In the 3 years with OO I have never had any problems. now suddenly they don't want to reactavate my account. The $104.00 was made thuough OO and not SSI so Ib want my money that took 3 months to make.

This use to be one of my favorite survey sites but it has recently changed and not to the good for sure. They have changed the incentives to paypal instead of checks which I do not like. I received a total of 12 survey invites in the past two days and was unable to finish any of them. Took forever to get signed in and complete the screening questions just to be told that I did not meet criteria or survey was having technical problems. It may just be me having these problems but it is very discouraging especially when the site use to be so good.

Opinion Outpost used to be the best until they got with SSI and changed their. When I saw that they were changing to the SSI site, I knew this would be trouble and I couldn't be more right if I tried. They didn't transfer all the accounts claiming that there were concerns with data which is just a way to pass the blame on their members. The people who were fortunate to get transferred have lost money, can't cash out, and getting bad survey links that lead to the old site, and customer support continues to give half assed (excuse the French) answers to everything. They have basically turned into Surveyspot which is the site opinion outpost is mimicking, so the problems will continue.

If you really want to know what's going on with the site, go to their Facebook page and you will see nothing but complaints (complaints which used to be praises) by current members.

I believe the term is: "They Nuked It". I had done a survey last night. Same as always. I go on this afternoon & suddenly the whole site looks like OpenOffice Blur-Blu. OK. I can deal.
Facebook. Oh, that's not good.
Worse, now I am unclear if I can even get my rewards. It's PAY-pal. EVIL!!! Just in time for Halloween!
They had been so good before. Boring, yet steady. I got a check, I tossed it in with the other payments, filled out a deposit slip & was done. You can't even do that with a gift card. Strangely it had displayed a $15 Citi Gift Card yet when I went back after the last survey for the day, that option had vanished.
AND to top it off I had to redo every one of the entry 'personal profile surveys.' And thereafter I got bonked on every survey--'They had already filled the quota.'
It's so sad. "It worked yesterday...."

I've been with this site for a little over 9 months now, and have earned about $150. At first I only qualified for a survey here or there, but have gotten a lot more surveys lately, many of them short (10 minutes) and $1. In the last couple months, I've made at least $30 a month.

Highest reward I've been offered for a survey was $5.50, highest I completed was $5.00.

I'm still getting my rewards (I choose Amazon.com gift cards) regularly with no problems. However, they do have a phone number for customer service, and I would try that if I had no luck with their email replies. (I have done this in the past, but usually email is fine.)

I do disqualify from a large number of surveys, but most of those happen quickly, within a few questions. After disqualifying, they offer you the choice to either donate funds to charity or else do a "Instant Win" ... I have twice won $1.00, instantly credited to my account.

Overall, a very good site.

This was my favorite place to take surveys until recently. Like Lisa, who posted here August 24, 2011, I have not been able to access my rewards, a technical problem it said. This has been going on for 2 weeks now. I emailed them and was told it would be forwarded and looked into. No other replies as yet, so I emailed again yesterday. Too bad, because I have worked for them for years and they have always been great up til now. :(

They pay good and quickly award credits, many pay options available.

I belong to 4 survey panels right now and have tried more than 10 and Opinion Outpost pays about the best(10 pts.=10 mins.=$1.00) at least. The money goes straight into your account when you a finish a survey and no other survey company I have tried does that! No, I don't qualify for as many surveys as I'd like to and there are times when i don't get a lot of invitations, but i feel appreciated because they pay decent, and, no lie,the first check i requested from them came in 2 business days I asked on Saturday it came Tuesday. AMAZING!!

I've been doing thing a long time and Opinion Outpost has risen to the top as my favorite. I qualify for fewer surveys now for some reason, but I attribute that to belonging to a lot of sites. When I do qualify though the rewards are there STAT and are sooooo easy to cash out. Also, their refer-a-friend program is one of the more lucrative out there. Highly recommend.

i have been with opinion outpost for awhile i love the site i have used the amazon and gift card payment methods. I do hate that they have dropped the incentive amounts i do wish that they would raise them back up

I have always liked this site and have been a member for many years. However, this week my account was "frozen" because of "data concerns" and I have no idea why. When I email and inquire I can only get "it is being looked into" for an answer. Does anyone else know what this is about? I would like to continue as a member of this site because it is one of the better ones.

I have belonged to this panel now for over a year. I get about 30 invites a month, I qualify for about 5. I think the money offered for the surveys is fair, and I do like the $20 cash out threshold. It just seems to take me a long time to get there. They credit your payment to your account right away. All in all, I like them.

I'm in a ton of different survey panels, but this is definitely my favorite. I qualify for way more surveys than I do with other panels. 10 points is worth a dollar. Once you got $5 (50 points) you can get a $5 Amazon gift card. At $15 (150 points), you can get a prepaid Visa gift card for $15, and at $20 (200 points), you can get a $20 check. Most of the surveys are worth 10 points, sometimes a little more. The points actually add up, and the prizes don't seem years away.

Opinion Outpost used to be my top money maker. I made 4-5 hundred per year with them for 3 years. Since they joined Survey Spot their incentives have gone to hell in a hand basket. The surveys they used to pay $4-$8 for now pay $1 for 20-30 minutes. Wow, $2 per hour. I don't even bother with them anymore just like Survey Spot. I can't understand how a very successful company can go to nothing in such a short time. If you notice when good companies start cutting the amount they pay, they are gone very soon and never make it back.

I've been using this site for several months, they flood my e-mail with alerts of surveys. Even with the dozens of surveys I supposedly qualify for, when I go to actually take them I'm told I do not qualify...not ONCE in my entire time on this site have I qualified for a single survey. I've spent several hours filling these stupid things out and have not earned a single dime!
don't waste your time this site is total crap!

I have been with Opinion Outpost for about two months now. I have earned enough for $40.00 thus far (cashed out twice, have received one check). I often get several survey invites a day, and although I do not qualify for many of them, the screen-out process is usually only a few minutes. Plus, there is normally an open survey from dkr1.ssisurveys (Dynmex?) that pay $1.00. Sometimes these are way too long to be worth $1.00, but they always tell you how long they will be upfront so you can choose if you want to do it or not. My first payment arrived within a few weeks. Warning: it took several weeks before I started qualifying for any surveys, but after that I qualified for more and more… not sure why. Also, fill out all profiles, and opt out of OTX surveys in your profile.

I've earned about $60 with them so far, or 600 points. Yeah it is frustrating that I don't always qualify for the surveys, and the slot machines stinks, but it still is pretty good and I'm about to cash out for the third time.

I've been with opinion outpost for about three months at first i never qualified for a survey and started to think they were a scam about a week and a half in i started getting approved for everything they have slowed down since.i only get approved for abot a third of surveys and sometimes they come in bunches to date i have earned 227 dollars not much but a lot more than the others if you need cash now dont do it you will get frustrated and prob call them a scam.

I've been with OO for a couple years, they've been a good site for me and for the most part continue to be. HOWEVER since FEB of 2011 they've raised their cashout from $5 to $20 and lowered their incentives by at least 40% on most surveys. On top of that they're now in Bed with SSI (Survey Sampling International, eg Opinion World and Survey Spot) and are using their router for mostly Low paying surveys now $1 for 20-40 minutes work, If this keeps up they'll be the new Toluna. Still a good Sit but not what they once were.

I've had nothing but great experiences with opinionoutpost. They have tons of surveys and it pays moderately well- about $6/hr if you calculate it. I've gotten around $250 from this site over the past couple of years. Most surveys are well done and sometimes if you don't qualify, you can keep trying and take another one. You can also get $2/referral

What frustrates me with Opinion Outpost is they have a notorious reputation for changing the rules as they go along when it comes to their rewards. For instance, in order to received a check a panelist has to have a minimum of 50 Opinion Outpost points in their account. As of February 2011, they changed the rule to 200 points. This means a panelist has to take survey for a minimum of three months in order cash out with a $20.00 check. Also the quality of the surveys has deteriorated badly. They accept too many fraudulent survey companies whom, after completing a survey, tells the panelist that "they no longer qualify" or the survey is full. And their customer service representatives are obnoxious and unhelpful when it comes to complaints.

I am on a lot of sites and this is my fav. Short surveys, qualify for a bunch and they pay in cash! I've made close to $400 in less than a year. The surveys do come in bunches with sometime in between, but worth it.

I take surveys on 4 different sites. Opinion Outpost has the best customer service of all. Within 1 day the inquiry is answered and about 98% of the time in a favorable way.

Legit company for me. They send plenty of surveys and pay promptly by cheque. I never had any problems with them. I don't qualify for as many being from Canada. Seems more geared for USA, but no real complaints.

Opinion Outpost started out great. However, now on a consistent basis, I'll spend 20-40 minutes answering a ton of detailed questions --- then get told their quata was already filled, so no rewards. This happend even though I finish the surveys and get told it was completed. This is occurring about 5 times a week or more. It is becoming obvious that the intent is to get your survey respones for free. Avoid Opinion Outpost -- they are not what they once were.

I've earned about $160 since October of 2009. I have had no problems at all with Opinion Outpost. Rewards are paid quickly.

the only complaint I have is that their referral program kind of sucks. other then that they always pay and I get paid at least once a month

I love this company because I qualify for 3/4 surveys that they send me, which means I don't waste my time filling out surveys and not qualify. Also, their rewards are great - most surveys are worth about $3-5, though the shorter (15 min) are worth about $1.50-2.

The website is very organized, and the surveys work well. Whenever I have had a problem, customer service handles it quickly.

Best of all, the rewards are credited to your account quickly and they rack up quickly as well. I have been a member for 2 months and I have earned $50 total. I get to cash out for $10 on Amazon at least every two weeks. I just cashed out for $10 2 days ago and I already have $8 again!

Great company if you want to see the results quickly.

i joined opinion outpost for about 6 months already, their surveys are straight forward, and they tell you which company the survey is from, so you'll have a decent idea of what to expect.

Their payments are always sent on time.

Important thing for this panel; Take you time doing the surveys! I don't always qualify, but they let me know right away. I have made over $100 so far. Not getting rich, but I always receive my check promptly. You always know which surveys you got paid for too, the list in on their website.

I have been with them for about a year and they have improved quite a bit since I have been a member. There incentives are always very good and now they send me quite a few surveys. It does vary quite a bit but some days I get sent up to 5 surveys and usually qualify for 70% of them.

I usually "test out" of surveys within the first minute so doesn't feel like a waste of my time.

Good customer service too the one time I had to use it!

The checks also take some time to get processed but they always come!


Highly recommend this site over all others I have come across.

I joined in early December and I've already gotten two checks! Got my first check in less than a week, and the second one took about two weeks.

I screen out fairly early or not at all. Can't wait until I get an instant win! :)

I've been with Opinion Outpost for about a year ,at the beginning they just send me about 5 surveys per month and i qualified for 2 or 3 of them . Right now they are sending me about 4 surveys per day for which i dont qualify after spending almost half an hour completing . OO used to be a good company ,not anymore . scam ,scam ,scam they get all your info for free.

Joined in 4/20/06, made almost $500 so far. Qualify for about 50% of surveys. I like the fact that if you don't qualify you can try the instant win game. In 5 years I have only won the $50 prize once, but hey it's $50 free!

I've been with Opinion Outpost since March. I get about 3-5 surveys a day, and usually qualify for half. I've cashed out twice for the amazon gift card code, which is pretty much instant money. I've won the $50 instant win. So all in all, I've made $117 in 9 months. Pretty much amazing!!!

This is a great company. I've only been with them for 2 weeks, and gotten well over 20 survey invites, and have already made $17 in my first 14 days! Customer Service was very helping when I had a technical glitch on a survey and corrected it immediately. This is a great way to earn some extra money, I recommended it 100%!

I have been signed up with this site for 2 months and have already made over 60 bucks. Most of their surveys are 20-30 points which is $2-$3 dollars each. Which is very good for a survey. If you do not qualify they kick you out quick and you are sent to the next one. I recieve OVER 10 surveys weekly and find that I qualify for many of them. Also, when you call the 800 number you actually talk to a person! GREAT SITE!! Requested my 2nd check today!!!

Wasted several hours of my time. Completed at least 10 surveys, was credited with one plus one pending. They may have been legitimate at one time, but you couldn't prove it by me.

I'm only a few cents shy of my first $10 and suddenly I don't qualify for any of the surveys. They are also guilty of asking 3-4 unrelated questions before beginning the survey, or telling me it's closed. Others do this--it's their way of getting 'free' data from us, that is data without having to pay for it. You know,'answer these questions first, to further match you to future surveys'. Then you either go on to the main survey, or get the message that it's closed or you don't qualify. Naughty, naughty, guys. They're OK but I consider them on watch. Lets see if they let me reach and cash my $10.

I spent a great deal of time taking surveys & had earned over $50 in about a year.Then they froze my account because of data concerns, you tell me where this is in the privacy policy, ect, and it is my opinion for crying out loud. I may be tired and answer a few questions half, but you cannot penalize me for voicing my opinions. How dare you opinion outpost!

Been with them about six weeks and usually get 7 or 8 surveys a week, half of which I qualify for. Requested my first check last week and it arrived today!

I have been with Opinion Outpost for well over a year.I had considered it to be the best opinion panel available,So I used it most often.I spent several hours a week taking surveys & had earned over $200 in just a few months.Sounds great until they locked up my account because they don't like one of my answers on one survey out of hundereds that I had taken.For those of you using this panel,You better withdraw your money while you can because they give you no warnings or reasons.If they see that you have alot of earnings they will do what they can to get out of having to pay you.I learned the hard way.So much waisted time.

THIS COMPANY IS NOW A SCAM! They used to be legitimate but now they send invites to surveys they have you COMPLETE IN FULL. Then they tell you that they already had enough panelists or you don't qualify, etc. This is after 40 minute surveys! BAIT AND SWITCH! IF they did this to you report everywher you can.

I am a member of a bunch of survey sites, and OO pays the best. I usually get 1-7 surveys a DAY. I have gotten at least 5 checks, and I had them within days of requesting them.

Here's the best part though.... I had a survey which had a technical error at the end. I emailed them, and they ACTUALLY PAID me for the survey! This is the true test of a good site...you email them, they respond and actually pay you for what you deserve. Can't say that about many other sites.

I cahsed out a $5 within the first week of signing up, ever since then I have left my money to build up. Its been almost a month and I've made about $25 now. I qualify for about 1/3rd of the surveys. Their pay is really decent compared to most survey sites. I find it really reasonable. But don't expect to get rich, or anything. Its like working at minimum wage. The best way to qualify for the surveys they send out is to accept them once they get to your e-mail, their quota is never filled in that fast.

I have been trying different survey companies for about a month. It they don't pay, I don't stay :) Opinion Outpost is one of the few legit companies on the web I've made over $20 in less then a month! Not bad for spending a little time on the web. I'm not going to say their surveys are all fool proof. I did take one survey for about 20 minutes, when I was complete it stated "quota met". It was suppose to give me 20 points or $2. I wrote them about the problem. They responded immediately investigated the problem and gave me an apology and partial payment. A lot of their surveys are 3rd party, the company stated that they did not have my info. But I thought it was fair that they gave me something. How many survey companies do you know that will do that? I like O.O.

I am really surprised with the ratings of OO on this site. Actually, I signed up with them due to the ratings on this site. I wish I had not done so. I took the suggestion of someone on this site that recommend that you skip over surveys hosted by a certain company. I have since done so because I have found that they will screen you out of a survey AFTER they have taken valuable information and time from you. That is totally unfair to the survey taker. Once I took a survey and got to the very end of the survey. The survey screen then read that it had no more questions for me and that I had completed the survey. After I hit the submit button the survey screen then read that they have reached the max for survey takers and that I could try for a sweepstakes. I know for a fact that I finished the survey the little bar at the top read 100 percent, yet they want to give me a chance to win a sweepstakes instead of the measly 10 points they owe me.

Opinion Outpost is a trustworthy company. I have registered with this company for three months. I didn't receive much invitation, but I have received reward for the few that I qualify. I feel that for three or four surveys that you completed, you can get over $10 of cash. It took around 3 weeks for me to get the check.

Accused me of using two different accounts to take surveys which is not true. They canceled my account and screwed me out of $85.00 which took forever to earn. They are lying, cheating scum bags.

I have only joined Opinion Survey a month ago and have already received approximately 20 surveys in my e-mail. Although I have not qualified for every survey, I have already earned a $10.00 cash out, which is double the $5.00 you need to cash out. That's a very reasonable cash out amount. I have also had to contact customer service for a survey I did not qualify for that got stuck in my survey's available to take. They promptly and kindly responded and also removed that stuck survey. I love Opinion Outpost. So far they seem legitimate. I haven't asked to cash out yet, but when I do, I'll write back and tell how that went. After all, that's the ultimate bottom line for taking the time.

I get sent surveys from this company pretty frequently. However, I usually (after entering a great deal of personal information) am told I do not qualify.

This has happened for 23 of the last 24 surveys I've tried to take from them.

It seems like many people have had good experiences with Opinion Outpost... But while it seems like a nice site, I haven't had much luck with it. I've been a member for a month, rarely receive survey invitations, and have only earned $2. I earn more rewards in a week on Lightspeed than I have in a month here!

Why would a survey panel ask of your ethics background. It shouldn't matter. If the surveys are meant for people in the US, then that's all they need to know. No wonder a lot of us may not qualify for surveys but yes it shouldn't take too long to disqualify us. Who has the time to answer a 5 or 10 minute questions and then nothing comes out of it. I got uninterested because the amount it take and all that time I only receive a mere 3 dollars which I can't cash out anyway. Most of the surveys are too long. 20 minutes for a dollar? For that amount of time I can make $5 or even $10 elsewhere.

Been with Opinion Outpost for almost a year now. I've earned (and received) over $300USD and it seems they're getting more and more surveys lately! Good luck to all!

I have been with Opinion Outpost for a little over a month. In July, I received 35 survey invitations and qualified/completed 12 of them.

I requested a $20 check and received it in a week.

I have recommend/referred this site to a couple of people. I love this site.

I have been with them for a while. I usually cash out $5.00 daily with this company alone. I go for the gift card, you recieve it instantly. They have never cheated me!! I recieve at least 2 surveys a day, sometimes more. $2.00 - $3.00 each. 2 surveys, then cash out.Can't beat it.

is consistent and timely.

I think this is the best panel by far. This is solely because once you take a survey you instantly get credited the points. If you qualify and complete a survey they don't screw around. If you don't qualify, the disqualification process is usually quick and you may even opt to give charity some credits or you may enter a sweepstakes. I actually have not qualified for many surveys lately, but I still get to qualify for some here and there. You either get rewarded by check or by Amazon gift card claim codes, which is awesome! Cash-out minimum is only 5$! :)) They sent out survey invites regularly from many different places. Very few survey invites end up being from the OTX company which is good to know. Survey incentives are usually quite reasonable for the survey length offered. So, they are a legitimate company in my book! I totally recommend!

Would recommend. Made 11.50c so far and qualify for most surveys. Only problem is they don't send enough but other than that it's legit and good.

The pros are that this company pays in cash and they send the checks promptly. The cons are that they give you no incentive for trying to qualify for a survey and sometimes I spend over 5 minutes answering very specific questions before I am told I don't qualify. It is very frustrating and I sometimes feel the companies doing the surveys are ripping me off. They often ask qualifying questions (like age, gender, race, etc) after I've already answered a whole series of questions instead of before.

Best survey site that I have found.

Qualifiers are no worse than any other site and survey frequency is good.

Cashout level is low and payments are incredibly prompt.

Although the site is hard to pass screeners sometime. They do payout by check, So far I have received $22.50 and have over 60.00 more, as I did win one of those 50 instant win. Now they do take a while.

I receive around 4 surveys a day from them. I generally qualify for 75% of them. I have made 96.80 in the past few months. I redeem the points for Amazon gift cards rather than wait on a check. The redemption is instant and I receive my gift card code instantly. Great site!

I've been doing OO surveys for a few months now. The turnaround on the surveys is pretty quickly (I get checks every single week, totally between $10 - $20 usually).

I don't like how sometimes you answer a LOT of questions, only to get told you don't qualify or that it has reached it's quota. I qualify for about 65% or more of the surveys they send me. I've also done some product testing for them, which is awesome. I recommend it to all my friends. Good luck!

p.s. I did have an issue where I finished a survey but got kicked out of it at the VERY end and told I didn't qualify. I complained and eventually got paid for the survey. They have only done this for 1 survey that I got quite a way thru only to be kicked out of...so that part CAN be frustrating.

I've been with Opinion Outpost for 2 years. A year ago, I was receiving a lot more surveys, and qualifying for a decent amount. Made fairly good money (for a survey site) and even did a few product tests. Lately though, they don't send as many and they're harder to qualify for. Also seeing a lot more technical issues within the surveys themselves. Definitely a legit site (they always pay, and fast!) But just watch out because they're definitely not as great as they used to be.

I have made with Opinion outpost 117.60 so far I am saving for x-mas and this is a GREAT way to earn money for that.. Thank you so much Opinion outpost.

Now, I can finally rate a survey company as I needed to see what it was like from start to paycheck. They pay well and I received my check for $50 within a week of requesting it! Highly recommended!!

i am really satisfied with this panel. i redeemed $46 last week and received it yesterday.

I've been a member with them since Sept. '09. Made over $100 so far and have done two product tests. Always got at least one survey a day. For the last two weeks, I have only gotten one, and that was to sign up for the Nielsen internet tracker. No Thanks! I emailed cs to see if something was wrong with my account. No, surveys are sent out randomly. Big change in amount sent out!

I went from 0 to $22 in about 2 months on this site, so I was stoked...now it's been since 01/29/2010 since I've gotten an invite. GOOD THING I just read the FAQs section of their site, it says that your points stay as long as you are active, which means attempting to take a survey once every 3 months, so it was almost about to be 3 months since they've sent me a survey, so I just cashed out so I wouldn't lose the money I had already made. Very disappointing, I was really happy about finding this site at first.

I've been doing surveys with this company for over 4 years with NO problems. Payout is very prompt, if I request a check by Thursday afternoon the check is in my mailbox no later than Tuesday.

Have been a member for about a year now, and have never had a problem. The turn around time when you cash out is fast. I have cashed out twice and both times got my check in about a week.

Opinion Outpost is my favorite survey site. They send me like 2-3 surveys a day. It's awesome. No other survey company sends me that many. I usually only qualify for 1 every day or 2, but still, that's better than I can say for all the other sites I've signed up with. Points are credited to my account immediately, which is awesome. Most survey sites I have to wait weeks for that. And payout has always been very fast. You only need $5 to cash out, and I usually get my check within a week. They really need to add a PayPal option though. Going to the bank is annoying.

A few years ago, I did surveys for this site, no
problems to speak of.. I rejoined, and am not too pleased, but I will give them a month or two more before I give them a "no" recommendation. I have gone to their website, taken all the surveys they have listed for me to take, and maybe have qualified for one of them. Like a few of the other panelists, I have spent more than a few minutes before I get canned.

I absolutely love this site, they re definitely on of my favorite sites. I recieve numerous surveys per month and always receive my reward checks promptly!!

I absolutely love this panel. In my opinion, they are the MOST professional of any panel I've had experience with. I receive a good amount of surveys each month (10-20), the incentives for these surveys are more then fair, and their customer service is, without a doubt, the best around. I've had a couple of problems with surveys, and their customer support has been very prompt, professional, and extremely helpful each time. I just cashed out for the first time, so I'll let you guys know how quickly the check arrives, but if their previous service is any indication of their level of overall service, I expect it will be here sooner rather then later. This is definately a panel that is worth the time to sign up for. Try it, you won't be dissapointed!

I have been getting my checks in an EXTREMELY timely manner with O.O. There's also plenty of survey invites every few days, and there's a fair amount that I DO qualify for. Try this panel!

This is a pretty good survey site. They keep you busy with quite a few surveys and you can rack up points quickly! They will credit your account instantly after completing a survey, and they are quick to send your reward! RECOMMENDED!

After taking 30+ Surveys I qualified for ZERO.
I wasted a lot of time taking those surveys, and I don't get credit for any of em. That's just BS. Get used to seeing the statement, Sorry you do not qualify...after taking a 15min "PRE-SURVEY"...Totally BS! Really frustrates me.

After reading the reviews on here I signed up, but after receiving 60 survey and no qualifying for a single one, I quit. Moreover, nearly every survey was for banking or pharmaceuticals. Theoretically, their surveys should pay well, but I can only get burned so many times for giving up.

Been a member with them for over a little over 3 months and have already cashed out $25.80 of a Amazon.com gift card. Overall is a good survey company only wish there was less OTX surveys.

Opinion Outpost used to be pretty good, but now most of the surveys I recieve are from OTX, and everybody knows OTX is just out to scam people. Unfortunately, I will be forced to unsubscribe!

Opinion Outpost is my favorite survey panel so far! I don't always qualify for the surveys, but I've only been a member for about a month and made about $20 already, more than I have at any other panel I have tried. They send a check in the mail and it comes quickly. I've never had a problem with them.

They also have a decent referral program if you're into that, you get $2 in your account whenever someone you referred signs up and completes a survey.

Like the poster below me, I was a member for longer than I can remember. Recently I had several issues with some technical issues with surveys so I contacted customer service for the first time. I then go to log in one day and can't get in and emails go unanswered by them.

I did like this company a lot, but I will say over the course of the past few months the number of surveys has decreased.

There are better options than them. I still plan to file a complaint with the BBB if I don't receive an email as I had at least $50 in my account that I can't get to now.

Opinion Outpost used to be my top earner for two years and I answered all surveys truthfully then one day out of nowhere I log into my account and it says that this account is no longer a member. I emailed them on why they closed my account and they refuse to tell me why. So I make another account and the next day its banned. I suspect bad business practices on what they are doing. It is a shame that a good company has gone bad.

I use to love Opinion Outpost. I was getting a good deal of surveys although I never qualified for most of them. All of a sudden the survey offers just stopped coming.My account is still active but I get no surveys.

I have been with this company over 2 years and have made approximatly $200. Now, without warning and $138.00 in my account they cancel me and keep my money for "poor data".

I was with these people for 2-4yrs earning $200 in US Cheques that arrived in 2 weeks.
The OXT surveys were hard to, if ever qualify for.
The 5-60 points/surveys were fun, you needed 50 for $5 to get a cheque. I had a bad feeling when I had done 50min of a 55min for $15, it said I had finished. I clicked the completed button, but then the survey crashed. I sent email to Customer Service,they said: Sorry, wait for it to close and see if your on the list of payout, I was NOT! I did a $2 beer survey & when I logged into my account to see my $2, it said my account name/password no longer existed. Customer Service commented with a corporate/genaral reply:Sorry, to of upset you Please reply with your email address & we will re-activate your account. So I did, then they said, no I scored low.

Been doing surveys for Opinion Outpost for some time. I find I dont always qualify, but when I do the surveys work, the threshold to cashout is reasonable @ $5 and they send checks pretty fast. In this economy & at this time of the year (when imo there are always less surveys out there must have to do with companies fiscal year starting January 1st)I welcome the chance to earn a few more bucks easily. A few months ago I had an issued w/them, customer support researched the problem & it was resolved in a timely manner. I always get a real person to work with, they genuinely seem to care in my experience

You wont get rich with them, but they remain one of my favorites, would prefer if they didnt use OTX but I just dont do those.

I will agree with some of the previous comments that not everyone gets a lot with this site. I know some people that get few surveys because of their demographics, but I seem to make double digits every month and the instant Amazon code or the check option (and they pay quick) are excellent. This is definitely my favorite site. One thing I found out is that when you haven't gotten surveys in a while to make sure you update your profile surveys.

I believe that Opinion Outpost plays favorite to certain survey takers. From the time that I've been signed up with them, I've only qualified for one survey. Everytime I get into the survey good all of a sudden it tells me I am not qualified. I don't even try to take the surveys any more. I'm sick of their little head games.

Opinion Outpost is the real deal. You actually make money BUT I wouldn't encourage anyone to you this as a way of consistent income. It's just nice to get some extra cash here and there or a amazon gift card and the cast out amount is only $5 which is doable. I would recommend this panel. I get surveys from them like every other day.

I have to agree with a lot of other folks here, Opinion Outpost is pretty good, much better than I expected.
Their website says once you request a check when cashing out, expect a wait of 4-6 weeks. I've been a panelist for just over a month and earned enough points to cash-out and requested a check. Less than a week later, my check was in the mailbox right across the street. Outstanding!

This is by far my favorite GPT site. The compensation is always fair (generally $2-$5 per survey), the money is credited to your account instantly, and you only need $5 to cash out! I made that much my first day. I've been a member for 4 months and made over $100. The surveys are short, to the point, and easy to do.

I signed up with Opinion Outpost 6/27/09 and
by 11/8/09 I had already requested a $50.00 check
from them. The site said it would take 6-8 wks
for my check to come, but the check was here in about 3 weeks. I have another $14.50 in my account
built up, even after cashing out for the %50.00.
Opinion Outpost is one of my favorite survey sites.
They are very legit.
I have had a couple of issues with a cple of surveys, but, I wrote to them and their customer service was quick to reply and get things straightened out for me, so I did get paid for the surveys I had problems with.

One day two years ago, I stopped receiving survey opportunities. I emailed customer service, and they said that there was nothing wrong with my account. However, months went by and still no surveys. I emailed them again, but they again said that there was nothing wrong. So, I closed the account and created a new one. It has been 2 years and I still have not received a survey opportunity.

They must have banned me from all survey opportunities and refused to tell me about it. Now, I'm on the blacklist and they still deny any problems. I know I am guilty of making up answers on some of the surveys, but the least they can do is tell me what happened.

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.

I've posted my favorable review here before, but just thought I'd share this - For all of you who wonder about that "Instant $50 Win" thing at the end of some surveys, I got it the other day, so it can happen! ;p

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.

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

good

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.

I have had problems lately with this company and wanted to see what I could find, and it appears that their poor service lately may be due to the information I found in this article:

http://www.trivalleycentral.com/articles/2009/10/17/maricopa_monitor/news/doc4ace4be4565b9703318150.txt

That is messed up! I will be going elsewhere to take surveys.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So far I've had an enjoyable experience with this company, although most of the time I don't qualify for the surveys. I have checked out twice and recieved my checks about a week after I requested them. I actually won the $50 instant win the other day, so O.O. is definitely on my good list.

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.

I love this site. I've gotten (2) payments. Checks come quick.

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.

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.


JOIN OPINION OUTPOST! :)

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.

This is the best I have encountered so far. I average at least 1 survey a day. no bs just surveys this is the site I have been looking for all along

This is probably one of the best legitimate survey panel out there that actually pays. It is a shame that other fraudulent survey panels dilute the image of paid surveys. I hope Opinion Outpost keeps their cool for centuries because they simply rock!

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 :)

They are worth the time, I am a member since April 2009 and have earned $88 so far :) Referrals also work greatly, you get $1 for every person you referred who ends up joining them.

This is one of the best companies. Close down any OTX surveys as soon as they come up, but other than that they offer many legit surveys, virtually all paid. For no reason what so ever they pay in points, with 10 points = $1, but I have always been credited and they pay promptly.

This is one of the better sites, but they really need to get rid of OTX. i used to qualify for many of the surveys untill OTX started pushing thier way in.

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.

Good survey site. Prompt payment.
Most likely would be the best if not for OTX. Shame a company like OTX can do so much harm to other survey sites. Opinion Outpost lately seems as though they care less if you like OTX or not. I just ignore the OTX surveys, delete them as soon as I see "for OTX".

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.

Highly recommend even though they do quite a few OTX. Had a problem with 1 survey I completed but at the very end did not respond, got a auto response email, then a week later got an email crediting me for the survey. Have cashed out and have over $100 balance. Oh yes,don't scoff at the instant wins at least you get a chance if you don't qualify and keep trying, I won $50.

Have been with opinion outpost for just over a year. Very good site, qualification for the surveys are harder then some other sites. Incentives are great and redemption is one of the best.

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 !

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!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LIKE I DID!

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."

Of all the survey companies and their various sweepstakes offers, I have never won anything until yesterday. I won $50.00 in the Instant Win. It was quite exciting. I have been a member for a long time. It is one of the few remaining companies that I am a member of (due to time constraints). I have had a couple of problems with survey credit, but overall it is at the top of my list of survey companies.

I like opinion outpost- ive always gotten paid and i just won the $50.00 instant win a few days ago. i am looking forward to more surveys.

I have been a member of this site for over 3 Years They have always paid in the beginning was Slow now are a lot faster Just cashed out for 20.00 Didn't take long to accumulate..Qualify for a lot more than i used to ...Great News finally

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! I would recommend this one.

This is by far one of the handful of absolute best! A pleasure being part of a legit panel that pays well!

I don't always qualify for their surveys but this is one of the oldest sites that I have been on. I usually make about $50 a year.

I had only been with them for a week or two and I won $50.00 through their instant win game...needless to say I was thrilled!
I got my check within a week...another great surprise!
I think Opinion Outpost is one of the very best!

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.

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 get about 20 survey invitations per month; I don't always qualify but when I do the surveys are great. (Don't count on this as a source of income, for sure. Extra money or fun money, only.) 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!

I have had the same problem with OPINION OUTPOST, I had 6 surveys I completed and they were pending and a couple of days later the were closed. Then I filed a complaint with survey Police. And to this date they do not send me any surveys. I do not like baby games, and that is what Opinion Outpost is doing.

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.

Ive only joined for 4 months and Ive earned $32.

...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.

One of my favorites. Surveys can be hard to qualify sometimes, but they are paid well. Survey invites are frequent

I don't get too many surveys, but they pay promptly. It is the fastest paying survey company. I received my payment in 7 seven. Definitely a good and legit company.

Opinion Outpost is my favorite. I qualify for a lot of their surveys and the payment is exactly when you expect them. I made a few complaints to customer service-- and I always have gotten a quick response. I've been a member for 2 months and made $51.

So far, this has been a great experience. Lots of surveys, good rate of qualifying, the pay per survey is fine and the payout relatively prompt. If only they would leave out these OTX 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.

Join.

I've been a panel member for about 1 1/2 years and although I don't make alot of money I have received over $120.00 in payment and have more in my account that I can request. Only now I receive alot of the OTX surveys and NEVER qualify for them. Give them a try-good luck!

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!

I've been with them for a month they're the greatest they keep track of your points and surveys and they make it easy to collect its like having a savings account they're my new best friend

I receive a few surveys now and then, ones that would pay well If I could qualify, but I never am able to. Earned nothing in almost 6 months of trying. I can't believe this site is rated so high.

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.

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.

good luck people!! the best this to do is stay away from them!!!

they send me soooo many surveys i cant even count.i have been a member for 6 months and have made several hundred bucks.if it keep going i will have $1000.00 for one year...seriously

I qualify for their surveys a fair amount of the time, they credit quickly, and when I requested my payment I received it well within their estimated time frame. I think it only took two or three weeks at most.

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.

I like this site alot. They seem very legit and most of the time, I will always qualify for the surveys that are sent to my email. They used to pay a lot but seem to be cutting back recently, but that is OK because I think that it's cool that I'm making money for really doing nothing anyway.

I LIKE WHEN I DO GET ENOUGH MONEY TO CASH OUT ON THIS SITE BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WONT GET A SURVEY FOR A FEW MONTHS.

I hate sites with gimmicks

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.

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.

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.

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 do wish Opinion Outpost would stop dealing with OTX those surveys are so hard to qualify for and they ask you a lot of questions before they tell you that you don't qualify. I do like their new website however their surveys are hard to qualify for.

I had a slow time with Opinion Outpost-almost 5 months without a survey-but in the past 3 months, they have been outstanding. I get at least 3 surveys a week that I qualify for, and the money is really adding up! I highly recommend.

it is not all that easy to qualify for a survey from these guys, but if you do the pay is good and they DO PAY YOU. I have been a member for under 6 months and have already cashed out twice for $20 each time

Opinion outpost has the shortest, simplest surveys and they always pay something. No sweepstakes which I'm so happy about, and it doesn't take forever to make $10. I've been with them for less than six months and already cashed in almost $90.

Opinionoutpost is the best Survey company for me. I've gotten more money from them, than from any other survey company. They are honest and pay well for surveys. I am happy to be a member with them.

I am a panelist with at least 20 survey companies and Opinion Outpost is one of the top three. They pay well, have high quality surveys and have very responsive customer service. In the few instances when a fully completed survey was not credited due to a technical problem, customer service corrected these matters.

This would easily be my #1 site if I recieved more surveys.They to are beginning to use OTX which you know to back out anyway and not let them have your info for free.

I do surveys for about 20 different panels, and Opinion Outpost is my favorite. It's easy even for a new participant to use their website, they have paid me fairly promptly EVERY time, and their surveys aren't awful to wade through.

I receive my checks in about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 weeks.

I trust this panel completely and it would be the FIRST one I recommend to someone looking to make some extra spending money taking surveys at home.

I was getting about 20 survey invites a month, but haven't gotten any in over a month. Not sure what the problem is...

HEY GUYS IS ANYONE ELSE NOT GETTING ANY SURVEYS ANYMORE????

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!

Wow. I cant believe all the negitive. This is the only survey site that I like and acualy do. I quit doing all the other ones. I qualify about 75% of the time.

I always get at least 10 surveys a week and never qualify for any of them! I'm not sure what types of backgrounds or ages these surveys are for but I'm sure I should at least qualify for ONE!! Overall I guess i'll stay just to see if maybe one day I will. ;)

they are honest, dont make you wait till u get a gazillion points to payout, not too hard to qualify. very consistent. love em. i've made about $75 bsince joining 3 months ago.

I have been an member with this panel for over 2 years.The surveys are quite frequent.The incentives are fair.Any were $1-$10 per survey.

i have made over 50 dollars yet in just few months but the great thing is that.. i have missed lots of surveys for which i didnt quality. If i had qualified than i m sure.. i have made over 200 dollars so far. Really great site.. But.. everything on the lucks.

I really love this company. Their incentives are higher than most & they send a steady stream of invites. This might depend on your demographics but in my case I get at least 1-2 invites a week, usually more. They have great customer service and have gotten back to me quickly the two times I've had to contact them. I would highly recommend this company.

wish I could qualify for more of their surveys, seems Sr citizens opinions are not important to many survey companies

This is by far the best survey company around in my experience, and I've had a lot. The company is legit, sends a lot of survey opportunities, offers cash only as their incentive, they give quality assistance & support and are just an all around good company to work with. I do recommend that you sign up with them; or if you already have, invest most of your time on their site. It will not take you long to see the results & start earning your money for your valuable time.

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.

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.

For quantity of surveys offered, this is by far the best site I belong to.
Also they don't mess around by offering you "prizes"
or "entries to possibly win prizes" for completion of a survey! They just pay you cash. And you don't wait two or three months to see the check either. When you cash in your points, the check arrives almost always in two to three weeks.

I have been taking surveys for 3-4 months now, and this is by far my fav! I get quite a few survey invites per week, and while I don't qualify for all of them, I have made $75.00 from them so far. Not bad!

Yes, it sometimes is hard to qualify, but I dont find it any harder than a lot of other companies. I get a lot of surveys from them and it does not take a long time to cash out. I like their surveys. Their customer service is good as I had a problem one Friday evening and the person emailed me back and forth a couple of times that evening until we got everything resolved. I would recommend them.

I signed up with Opinion Outpost on March 28th 2008 and by April 15 2008, I had enough to cash out, so I cashed out on April 15th and just yesterday I received my check from them, so far I made 20 dollars from them so I am happy with their site, their surveys and the payout time it takes to receive a check from them.

Opinion Outpost is a legitimate company that does pay cash for surveys... If you want to make $11.00 for 6 months of 3 surveys a week this is the site for you. I personally like to earn sweepstake entries and maybe just maybe win a large amount or a cool prize rather than slowly earn 11 bucks, but they do send the check so they don't deserve a bad review.

I've been with Opinion Outpost for 3 months now and have found to qualify for most of the surveys you have to lie on the pre-qualify, eg: always say you make at least $50,000 per year income, always have 2 children, always be over 40, always have a mortgage, always put in a zip code that is in a big City or major metro area. Don't know why no one has posted this info before, it will help alot of people make more money. If any of you out there have more secrets, please post them for eveyone so we can all share the wealth.

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.

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?!

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.

Opinion Outpost is one of those really great survey sites. Although you don't qualify for ALL of the surveys, I do find that if you fill out more personal info, they will send mostly surveys that you would qualify into.

They send the checks in a very reasonable amount of time, and offer high incentives for those surveys you do.

A+++++!!

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.

i have cashed out with opinion outpost once. Ever since then i seem to never qualify for any of the surveys. Usually they let me get 10-15 minutes into a survey and then decide to disqualify me. i would still recommend them because they do pay.

I find that Opinion Outpost does a lot of OTX surveys. I detest OTX. They are repetitive, you can spend forever trying to qualify and end up being disqualified. However, I have found generally points are posted quickly, and in the odd happenstance points aren't, they will tell you about when to expect them. I gave this a 3 for quality because of OTX surveys, otherwise the surveys are great.

I'm pretty satisfied with them so far each payment is received in about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks so far. I completed my first survey about 5 months ago (7/16/07). Ive been paid 6 times and still have 3 payments in process. They are ok in my opinion. One of my favorites.

Great incentives, and very resonable survey lengths. They always pay on time, and customer service is excellent.

I have found myself frustrated with this company lately.

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.
