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.

DON'T, JUST DON'T!

July 24, 2019 by Olly from Australia

I read the reviews but was arrogant enough to dismiss them and try myself. I did my job and truthfully answered their surveys. When I accumulated enough points (500) I thought to better collect my reward and BANG, I was kicked out straight away for allegedly breaching their policy. I sent them an email asking the question but have not received an answer to date.

DO NOT SIGN UP

DO NOT SIGN UP
This site uses it's customers. I am an active member of many various survey sites and I have never been treated so poorly!
I wish I had read these reviews from others first!
Not only is it quite slow to accumulate enough points to redeem a voucher and once I had reached 1000 points I attempted to convert it into PayPal Credit. Upon entering my PayPal details the website locked me out and when I tried to log in again I got an error saying my account was suspended.
I immediately contacted the support team and they responded saying they will investigate it.
After a week of no response I tried to log in again, this time getting an error notifying me that my account had been disabled. I prompted the customer service team again and they replied to inform me that my account has been permanently disabled with a "thank you for understanding" at the end.
I will not be using this survey system again and will discourage anyone else of the same.
Furthermore I changed the password to my PayPal account in case they are fraudulent.

GOOD SURVEYS EASY TO EARN POINTS

July 10, 2019 by Fay from Australia

Have been with this site for about 3 years and have redeemed lots of points over the years for Gift Cards and a couple of times with PayPal. No problems with getting Gift Cards promptly and PayPal comes through immediately.
They have changed their procedures and are slowing in their offers off surveys lately so have dropped the stars for this.

Terminated for no reason

June 25, 2019 by Justine from Australia

Just saying the same thing over and over again without actually addressing my questions. I don't think it's a coincidence my account was terminated as soon I got enough points for a reward. Don't bother with them. You will just be wasting your time. I would give it 0/5 if I could.

Terminated

June 8, 2019 by Sean from United States

I too was terminated and given no explanation. I went and checked by opening a new account. And yup! They deleted my account with no reason.

All terms and conditions pretty much say they can refuse to pay you if you read the fine print.
