How Opinion World Works

Creating an OpinionWorld account so that you can be sent paid surveys is easy. Simply navigate to their registration page and fill out a few basic details. If you prefer you can use your Google or Facebook account to sign up in a matter of seconds

Once you’ve done that, you’re free to start completing tasks to earn points and claim rewards and can find surveys listed in your account, or you can wait for them to be e-mailed to you.

Payment and Rewards

Rewards for Surveys

You’ll earn between 50 ($0.50) and 300 ($3) points for each survey you complete, depending on its length. Some surveys do not award points, but rather, offer donations to charities. These surveys are usually quite short and can be taken on an almost daily basis! You will be notified before the start of the survey, if the survey is offering you rewards (points) or asking for your opinion for charitable donations, before you begin.

Once you’ve earned a minimum of $10, you can redeem your points for rewards including Amazon.com vouchers, Visa prepaid debit cards, cash via PayPal, restaurant gift cards, and more.

Rewards for Watching Videos and Reviewing Advertisements

OpinionWorld gives you the opportunity to earn points by watching videos and offering your feedback on video advertisements. The rewards are minimal, but it’s a nice low-effort addition to the website that you might enjoy and can help you reach your cash out goals sooner.

Real World Missions

Depending on your location, you might be able to earn points by completing ‘real world missions’ while you’re out and about.

Most missions of this nature involve sharing information about shops and other customer-serving businesses. You'll need to connect your mobile device in order to participate.

Redeeming Points

The minimum points or dollars redemption threshold is $10 USD (or equivalent in Canada), unless there is a lower redemption option available for a certain reward. Threshold amounts vary in countries outside of the US and Canada. The points conversion is 100-1. This means that the value of every point is $0.01. So if you have 250 points in your account, it will be worth $2.50 (though this amount may vary if you are outside the USA).

Members who choose to redeem their earnings by PayPal or for an e-gift certificate, often receive their payments instantaneously, or within a few hours. Physical gift cards usually take approximately 2 weeks for processing and mailing.

Account terminated for no reason

February 28, 2020 by Josh from New Zealand

My account was at last terminated for no apparent reason.

Everything else is fine, but this is something described by every odd person, and its not okay.

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your feedback.

On occasion some accounts are flagged, and following a thorough review a few of those accounts will regrettably need to remain closed as they have breached the user agreement or engaged in activity not permitted on the specific panel.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
The OpinionWorld team
Reliable Panel

February 17, 2020 by William from Ireland

It's a few years since I initially joined OpinionWorld and I participate in surveys regularly, either when I'm sent an email invitation or directly via the website. The frequency of surveys has always been just about right for me. Again, surveys can be taken on most devices without issue. Incentive points (which are fair) are credited immediately on completion of a survey and the rewards scheme is good. I've never had any issues claiming rewards and have always received them in a timely manner. I've found it to be smooth sailing all the way with OpinionWorld and recommend this panel.

non payment for survey

February 13, 2020 by Ella from New Zealand

Happening far too often-opinion world gets you to give some information (usually about 3-5 minutes worth of completion in a survey and then they close off saying that you dont qualify. However they have your information and opinions for free. Feels like they cheat you.
One thing I will say is they always send your reward vouchers so thats positive but i dont like being cheated. they should give reward points for the information you divulge.

Hi Ella,

We're sorry to hear about this, unfortunately members may not always qualify for a survey.

This is because some surveys or clients require a specific demographic to complete the survey, there may be a number of qualifying questions to make sure that you fit in these demographics and are suitable for the survey.

We understand that this can be frustrating at times, if you ensure your profile is up to date this should maximise your opportunities to qualify for surveys that are most relevant to your lifestyle and interests, minimising the chances of you being screened out halfway through.

However, we can assure you that any information you provide us with in an uncompleted survey will never be shared with our clients. But if you take part in a survey for a long time and then get screened out, please reach out to our member support team who will try to find the best solution possible.

Kind regards,
The OpinionWorld team
Took my money

February 4, 2020 by Laurie from United States

I have gotten paid in the past. They give out very little in points. 500 = $5 Amazon card. This last time it said failed. No card, and they did not return my points or email. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM if you will get mad when the don't pay you.
