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.

Not worth it

January 2, 2019 by Astrid from United Kingdom

I have been a loyal member of Opinion World for at least 3 years and completed surveys on a regular basis. However, I have noticed over the last 6 + plus months that I no longer receive points for surveys I am completing (it tells you at the start what the reward is). I am all for voicing my opinion and it helping charities by offering the donation but I wonder why the point reward has disappeared. It doesn't seem fair when every single time I complete a survey (and this is often), I am not rewarded for it. Thinking of leaving as a result, which is a shame.

I liked this panel until now

December 23, 2018 by Irina from Canada

I have been a member of Opinion world for a very long time and liked this panel until now. Every time when I am trying to access their surveys I receive the same message that I am not able to proceed. Submitted multiple tickets. My tickets are poorly responded after several follow ups... Responses are not informative, same text in each ticket. Looks like nobody even reads my questions...When I switch to my mobile data I can use the website again, but it's not accessible from my home computer and my home Internet connection. They said me one time my IP is blocked because I have 6 accounts, which shocked me, as I have only one. I contacted my ISP and asked what is going on and how that could happen. I requested my ISP to change my IP and they did, but issue is persist. I do not know how to rate it. When it works, it's perfect, but when issue comes up it's hard even to get a proper answer from their customer service team. Phone number indicated on the website doesn't work. Very disappointed.

Account terminated, OK again!

December 19, 2018 by John from Ireland

I had been with Opinionworld for just over a month and had over 3000 points (€30). I was trying to get an Amazon gift card, and it suddenly logged me out and said I had violated their Terms & Conditions! I have read the complete T&C's, and I can not find anything that I have done wrong. No answer to my email!

Update: 17/12/18
I received a reply to my email 10 days after this happened, and they have got my account back up and running again! The 3000 points are still there, and I have cashed them in.

Terminated my account when redeeming points

December 5, 2018 by Nicole from Australia

I have been with Opinion World for a while and I went to redeem points which are the result of hours of doing surveys. When I went to confirm I got logged out and a pop up message saying my account was terminated. I then checked my MyOpinions account and that has been terminated as well. No reply from the help desk they said to email for assistance. What a massive waste of time
