Opinion Outpost is a paid survey site that helps connect survey takers to studies conducted by some of the world's biggest companies. By taking surveys, you can make quick cash from home while helping your favorite brands adapt and grow.

The website is owned by Dynata which is a global sampling and survey company. A pioneer in the world of online market research, Opinion Outpost has been around for more than a decade!

Share Your Opinions to Earn Rewards

Opinion Outpost gives everyday consumers the opportunities to participate in online surveys and product tests in exchange for cash rewards and gift cards.

Signing up is free and to do so, simply enter your name, date of birth, zip code and email address on the registration form on their website. After that, you’ll be prompted to confirm your email address before you’re able to begin answering surveys.

Take Surveys and More

Once you've fully registered, you’ll see a “Surveys” link on your main account dashboard. This will take you to your list of available surveys. You can choose to have surveys emailed to you if you prefer.

You also have the option to add additional information (via profile surveys) to help Opinion Outpost match you with more relevant surveys to you.

Earn Great Rewards for Participating

Sign up with Opinion Outpost to take paid surveys and complete product testing assignments in exchange for rewards. Simply join the site for free and receive invitations to complete online surveys on your computer or mobile device.

You don't have to wait long to get rewarded - if you take a survey worth 50 points, you'll already have enough to redeem a $5 Amazon.com gift card. The following reward options are offered on the site in exchange for participating:

• PayPal payments - with only 100 points (worth $10/£5), you can request that a PayPal payment be made to your account. Bear in mind that only verified PayPal accounts will qualify for payment.
• Amazon e-vouchers - with just 50 points ($5) in your account, you can request an Amazon.com e-gift code.
• Apple Store gift cards - with 100 points ($10) sitting in your account, you can request an app store / iTunes gift card.
• Retail gift cards - with 100 points ($10) in your account, you can receive a gift card to Nike, Domino’s Pizza, The Home Depot, CVS, Chili’s 3-Choice and more.
• Visa prepaid cards - with 100 points ($10) in your account, you can purchase a virtual Visa prepaid card to spend online or add to your smartphone app for offline spending.

Note that rewards will vary slightly by country. For example, Air Miles Reward Miles are available to Canadian members only (receive 50 Air Miles for 100 Opinion Outpost points).

Super-Fast Rewards Delivery

Opinion Outpost is very unique in that rewards are often delivered instantly after requesting them. It's uncommon to have to wait more than a few minutes/hours to receive a PayPal payment or e-gift card that you've requested, though technically they advertise a 3 day rewards processing period.

Take Surveys Often

Paid surveys will be sent to you on a regular basis. You can also visit the website, log in and find a list of available surveys, giving you plenty of chances to make cash. A typical Opinion Outpost survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and the number of points you can expect to receive per survey ranges between 5 to 50 points.

Qualifying Questions

Before you begin your chosen survey, you may have to answer a series of multiple-choice questions. These may appear to be irrelevant to the topic of the survey itself, but are a way for researchers to ensure they're receiving responses from the people they're looking for answers from. Sometimes, you’ll be disqualified from taking the survey after answering these, however there will usually be other surveys available for you to take.

Modern, Interactive Surveys

Opinion Outpost offers fun, interactive online surveys that are attractive and simple to take. On top of offering sweepstakes entries, periodically, they offer games at the end of surveys which give you the opportunity to win additional points and/or additional sweepstakes entries. One such game is called the Opinion Outpost Door Game.

Opinion Outpost App

Opinion Outpost does not offer a mobile app. Although most of their surveys are mobile-friendly and can be completed on your phone, you will still need to access them via your e-mail, or by logging into the website from your phone.

Badges

Opinion Output offers ‘Badges’, which essentially serve as loyalty bonuses. You will start out with a Bronze membership and have the chance to upgrade to Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond based on how active you are on the website and how complete your profile is.

As your badge levels increase, additional achievement points are awarded, which can be found on your Survey History page. These will show up as 'community achievement'. Bear in mind that you can be downgraded to a lower tier badge if you don’t remain active on the website.

Quarterly Chances to Win $10,000

If you are in the USA and you get disqualified from a survey, participate in a survey, or exchange your valuable points for an entry, you will have a chance to win $10,000 in a quarterly cash draw. That means that $40,000 in total is awarded to 4 lucky members every year! If you are in Canada, there are also sweepstakes available in the form of 4 quarterly draws worth $1,250 each ($5,000 yearly).

Refer Your Friends to Earn More

Opinion Outpost's referral program will award you $1.00 every time you refer a friend using your custom link and they complete at least one survey. Earn up to $5.00 in total. Find the "refer a friend" tab when you log into your account to grab your custom referral link to share with friends or extended family members (available to US panelists only).

I did this survey panel for a couple years but after assessing the 4 or 5 that I do,I found this one screens out a lot and you do not get credit or "partial credit for them.Long story short I takes hours upon hours to get 20 bucks - every couple months of doing at least one a night.The average survey (If you don't get screened out) takes about 20-30 minutes.

Been a member for over a year and I can see some bad reviews for this company and that doesn't surprise me, honestly. Think all these sites have people they screwed. There are people praising a site that royally screwed me, but hasn't done it to them so who knows, right?

But OpinionOutpost has been one of only two legit, paying sites I've been a member of. Others are complaining about getting kicked from surveys and does that happen? Yes. But you have to remember, they are a middle man and it is not them that screwed you, it's the company they are working for that shafted you. They just give you the bad news, 'cause there's not really much they can do to help you with it. Their customer service has been a bit blunt or abrasive but they handled my issues and clarified their stance on it.

If you do get "suspected of violating our terms", which seems to happen alot to spite the fact I wasn't .. they just ask me to continue on to the next survey. Other sites ban you for suspecting you of wrongful behavior, immediately and then refuse to talk to you. OpinionOutpost is smarter, it seems and just shrugs off the survey you were flagged for and lets you keep going.

If you are missing points that their console confirmed you are due, or if you cash out and the payment does not appear right away. Give the console an hour or two to properly award points, and their payment thing 12 hours to pay up before you contact them, as their systems get hung up sometimes and take a bit to sort themselves out. Their customer service has acknowledged and confirmed this is the case.

My experiences so far have been entirely positive. Just remember, once they turn you over to other companies, they can't control that company's decision on whether to credit you or dismiss you.

I've been using this site for about a year now, and it's one of the fastest ways I can get Amazon gift cards. I usually have trouble qualifying for surveys, but since I'm always given a ton of surveys, there's always quite a few that I DO qualify for too. Lately it seems like I don't get as many surveys though, but it's definitely still enough to reach at least minimum points within a week.

I'm rather impatient, so I tend to redeem my points once I hit 50 (the minimum to request for Amazon GCs), though I exhaust all available surveys for the day first. Sometimes, when I'm saving up for something specific on Amazon, I redeem once I have enough for that item. Usually I get the codes a day or two after requesting, but occasionally, like today, I receive it almost immediately!

All in all, Opinion Outpost has proven to be one of the best survey sites I've tried so far. Last year I had more trouble with getting inexplicably disqualified right when I'm about to finish a survey, but I haven't had that problem yet this year. Still, there's always tons of surveys I get disqualified from, not always OO's fault though I'm keeping in mind the seemingly random ones from earlier, and the usual wait time for reward redemption, though it's not as bad as some other sites, keeps me from giving it a full 5 out of 5.

Easy to use and lots of daily surveys to answer. Pays on time, too!

it was ok. But now it is asking you to keep updating your profile after you have already done so. Will not let you take surveys. please fix asap. I will report this to the Better Business Bureau and as well as a survey legit site. Would rate higher when fixed.
