American Consumer Opinion, also known as ACOP, is a research powerhouse. They have paid out 35 million dollars in rewards to 7 million members worldwide who have taken over 20 million surveys.

The American Consumer Opinion panel was originally created by Decision Analyst in early 1986. Decision Analyst is a member of the BBB and holds memberships with many prestigious marketing associations.

Join to Take Surveys and More

Take paid surveys and participate in product tests and focus groups with American Consumer Opinion. Join the site by navigating to the ACOP website and become a member by creating an account using your Facebook, Google, or Apple account, or simply your email address.

Once you have entered a few personal details, you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you registered. After you’ve completed this, you will be transferred back to the American Consumer Opinion dashboard and you will see a list of surveys you’ll be eligible to take.

Participate to Earn Rewards

Every survey you see listed on ACOP's website will show the number of points you can earn for completing it. You can either log in regularly to the website to check for new survey opportunities, or opt in to receive emails whenever a new survey becomes available. Alternatively, you may provide your cell phone number in order to be notified by text when a new paid survey becomes available.

Once you've participated in just $10 (1000 points) worth of online surveys, you can redeem your points for a cash reward or a gift card of your choosing.

Rack up Points

Each time you take a survey, you will earn points for your opinions. Screener surveys (short surveys) are worth between 5 – 50 points, or an entry into a monthly draw, and are 20 questions or less. Longer surveys offer points ranging from 100 – 5,000.

Great Reward Options

As a panelist of ACOP, you must have a 1,000 point minimum balance ($10 worth) to redeem your points. Once you have reached this minimum, you may redeem your balance for the following options:

• PayPal: For most countries, use PayPal to cash out your earnings in a simple and easy manner. If you decide to use PayPal as your cash out option, make sure your PayPal email matches the email you used to sign up with American Consumer Opinion.

• Hyperwallet: Like PayPal, Hyperwallet is a user-friendly payment platform that operates in 170+ countries. Allow 8-12 weeks for payment and receive a confirmation email once your money is available.

• Sweepstakes Cash Out: Use your points toward sweepstakes entries that give you a chance to win a variety of lucrative prizes. (Note that once a sweepstakes has been entered using your points, you do not get your points back, even if you are not selected as a winner).

• Charity Donations: Choose to donate your money to a variety of credible charities.

American Consumer Opinion Surveys

ACOP offers online surveys to its members that are interesting and quick, with the average survey taking approximately 10 minutes to complete.

In addition to online surveys, participate in other research opportunities such as product testing, focus groups, and judging the newest advertising campaigns. You can expect to receive invitations for participation from American Consumer Opinion several times a year.

Household Surveys

A few times a year ACOP sends out a survey that pertains to each household. The survey asks what products and services you use on a day-to-day basis. If you participate in this survey, you will be more likely to receive additional future survey invitations, which can translate into earning more points!

Prize Draws

If you attempt to complete a survey but are prevented from doing so (i.e., you are disqualified), you will automatically receive an entry into the Monthly Screener Drawing. Prizes can vary, though they typically consist of $100 Amazon gift cards. Winners lists are published monthly and are accessible directly from your ACOP account dashboard. In any given month, $500 worth of prizes is usually awarded.

Invite Friends to ACOP!

American Consumer Opinion is always looking to grow its family worldwide. If you know a family member, friend or co-worker who would enjoy sharing their opinions in exchange for great rewards, then refer them to ACOP using your unique referral link (available in your account). Each time you successfully refer a new member, you will receive an entry into a monthly draw worth 5,000 points! Currently, recruits from the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and France are permitted.

BBB Accreditation

American Consumer Opinion's parent company, Decision Analyst, is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Arlington, Texas (and has been for over a decade). They maintain a solid BBB rating.

Is ACOP Legit?

American Consumer Opinion is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel run by Decision Analyst - a credible market research firm. The ACOP website has been online for more than 20 years and with millions of survey takers worldwide, BBB accreditation and over $35 million in payments issued to members, ACOP is a safe and legit survey site.

Although some users may have varying levels of success with the website (i.e. users outside of Western nations may not be invited very often to complete surveys), it doesn't mean that the panel itself is illegitimate. American Consumer Opinion is available in 11 different languages in over 200 countries.

Eligibility: International members accepted, aged 14+. Limit of one person per household.

I have been on American Consumer Opinion for a long time, but that is about to end very soon. I requested my last payout on October 8, 2014. It is now the new year January 1, 2015. It states that payment by paypal should only take 6 to 8 weeks. It is way beyond that now. I have been very patient. I emailed them about two weeks ago and just got a generic response that they are having problems with accounting and that they will email me once my payment is sent. I have stopped taking their surveys. All I want is my money now and then I am cancelling the account. I am on other survey panels that have better payment practices to where they literally pay same day of cashout to up to 2 weeks. It's not worth the time anymore. I looked over my payment history and realize I have barely made anything with them. I've been signed up since 2008 and I have only made $59 which includes the payment I am waiting for. I should have stopped wasting my time a long time ago. Do not sign up!!!

UPDATE: January 6, 2015 - Just checked my email and finally I have been sent the measly $18.00 that I was owed. I sent them an email the other day and yesterday I messaged their facebook page. I think you have to pretty much harass them to get them to pay you. Thank God I have been paid. Now I will close my account with them forever! I suggest those who have not been paid continue emailing, stalking, whatever you would like to call it until they pay you. You deserve to be paid for the work you put in. Don't close your account until you are paid! Just don't do any surveys for them in the meantime. Good luck!

Took me a month and a half to reach the ten dollar payout threshold for payout. Not bad however, the surveys take more than a month and a half to be approved, probably longer. I do not know because as I was waiting for them to be approved. They locked me out of my account. The website does not even recognize my email. First time any survey website has stolen my hard earned money, because that is what it is, theft. I feel disrespected and violated. Stay away from this trashy firm.

Not too bad, but I don't have as many surveys as I do on other sites.

This site is taking forever to get enough points for a payout. I started with them last summer. This is written after the new year.

Over 12 months and still no payout. Not sure what their game is anymore, but they need to be SHUT DOWN immediately. I'd really like to give them a NEGATIVE five stars, they're that slimy in their business practices.
