WARNING: As of early 2018, many OpinionBar users have been experiencing problems collecting payment and customer service inquiries appear to be going unanswered. Please bear this in mind if you are continuing to complete surveys for OpinionBar.

Millions of people express their opinions with OpinionBar each year! Since 1999, OpinionBar has been conducting online surveys on a large variety of subjects. They have worked with many international brands like UNICEF, Yahoo, Microsoft and Heineken, to name a few. Join OpinionBar and influence the future of business. OpinionBar is run by MetrixLab BV, an international online market research company.

Perks of Joining OpinionBar

OpinionBar offers its members the option to take online surveys, some of which are game-like in nature, or even test new products (and keep them!) before they are released. The fun and easy nature of the surveys make it simple to give your opinion on decisions being made by large corporations. You may also be asked to judge the latest websites or TV commercials or to participate in online brainstorms.

Earn Up To €10 Per Survey

Members who take online surveys will earn between €1.00 and €10.00 for each survey they complete. Panelists will be invited to participate in at least one survey per month and most can be completed in a short 10 minutes, although higher paying surveys may take longer. Even if you are screened out, OpinionBar will reward you with €0.10 for your time. Unlike other panels, you receive cash, not vouchers!

Earn Cash or Donate

Once your account reaches a balance of €10.00, members have two options. They may either request a payment via bank transfer or donate their earnings to a charity of their choice. Payments are issued on the 1st week of every month, and may take up to six weeks to show up in bank records, depending on the country you reside in.

Eligibility: Multiple members can join from the same household who are 18+.

Love this site

September 30, 2020 by Elidia from Brazil

OpinionBar is that kind of site you will not find a lot of surveys to take but these you find you will always be paid a fix €1 if you qualify or at least €0.10 for trying. Payments are sent to your payment and I always received it in time

Losers

The survey you are attempting has been closed...shouldn't they tell us this BEFORE we take the entire survey, instead of after you complete it??? It's no wonder your scores are the lowest!

Issue Useless Invitations to Discussions

June 24, 2020 by Sarah from United States

I recently qualified for an online chat and was looking forward to participating for the reward. I had never done an online discussion type survey so I thought it would be interesting. I got an email confirming my acceptance to participate and was told I would get an email an hour before the session started with a link for access. The day of the discussion, I didn't get the email until five minutes before the session closed, and obviously the discussion was full by the time I could even access it. I sat refreshing my email, thinking they were just running behind schedule, only to find out that they sent out the email too late. What a joke. Don't issue someone an invitation to participate in something and then make it impossible for them to do so through no fault of their own. My advice: don't bother accepting invitations from them.

Not paying

June 10, 2020 by Dayanara Jane from Philippines

I participated in their online discussion last May 6, 2020, the email was sent by Chellene. I was able to finish the discussion but I didn't hear from her anymore after the discussion was ended. I didn't receive any information about the reward and I sent her emails but no response. Now, they are inviting me again for a live discussion tonight. I'm just thinking the same thing will happen and my effort will go again to waste after joining them tonight.

Let's talk about Body Wash

May 5, 2020 by Elyse from United States

I completed this survey with a group on March 12. We were found the survey through Swagbucks, but it was OpinionBar that qualified us & contact us specifically to ask for participation. After completing the survey, the compensation was $20 in Swagbucks points put directly in my account between 4-6 weeks. Clearly those weeks came & went. I had no contact information but found Metrix Lab also on the screenshots I took. I contacted them through facebook & they gave me contact information, tried to reach out to OpinionBar several times with no luck. Then posted another review about them & found another address, sent another message, up to 4 now but still no response. I will continue posting more reviews & writing again to MetrixLab letting them know apart of their company isn't doing their job, then I'll write to the BBB as well as go straight to the top of this company with no hesitation & all of my proof! I've been very patient for way too long waiting for money that is owed to me. Other companies had some issues paying with the pandemic but THEY got in touch before I did & apologized for a delay. I have no problem with issues but to be totally ignored is a different story. I did the work you asked & now you need to pay me. $20 is a LOT to some of us, especially those who were already disabled, home bound, mainly bed bound way before COVID-19! I'd hate to have to spread this story around even more how badly you are taking advantage of the terrible crisis we are all in & using it to your advantage hoping that people have other things on their mind so you don't have to pay. That is not how a company should want to present themselves. Bad press also spreads way faster than good press...I'd MUCH rather spread the good kind...Up to you!

P.S. You DO want to get back in touch with me.
