REDEEMING REWARDS

You can use credits for anything in the Google Play Store. However, if you do not have enough credits, you cannot split the balance between credits and credit card/carrier billing. Any redemption must be either fully from credits or fully from a credit card/carrier billing.

Google Surveys is Google's in-house market research tool that helps market researchers create online surveys to share with voluntary users who fill out the surveys in order to earn rewards. Users answers are aggregated and shared with the market researcher and answers are completely anonymous unless explicitly stated at the beginning of the survey.

During the setup process, you associate your Google payment profile with your Google Opinion Rewards profile so that Google can apply Google Play credits to your account. Once you go through the introductory survey based on demographic questions and go through a survey tutorial, you will receive notification for your first paid survey. Upon completion, you will be directed to a confirmation page confirming the credit applied to your Google payment profile.

Help Shape the Future of the Internet, Just By Surfing!

Join the Google Opinion Rewards to help Google make its products better and gain insight into the average consumer. Once you've signed up, Google will send you everything you need to set up your devices (TV, tablets, computer and phone). Then, you simple access the Internet as you normally would and earn rewards along the way. If you ever need privacy from the service, you simply enter "Guest Mode" to keep you browsing or preferences private.

Sign up

Sign up and get sent everything you need for Google to monitor your device(s) and track your rewards. Rewards are paid out in the form of Google Play credits. Google Opinion Rewards are surveys run by market researchers. The frequency of receiving surveys may vary, and you do not have to answer every survey you receive.

Earn Rewards

The amount of credits received can vary from survey to survey and is dependent on the number of questions and the amount of time it takes to complete a survey. Answering questions in a certain way is not required to receive a credit. The more honestly a person can answer a question, the more valuable the opinion is, and as a result you may receive more surveys or credit.

PayPal payments are not offered by Google Opinion Rewards - only Play credits are awarded.

Redeem Rewards

To redeem your credit, simply tap on "spend your play credit" on the home screen of the mobile app or by shopping directly in the store. You choose your reward in the form of books, games, music or movies - anything that's on Google Play is yours to redeem!

Note that accrued credits expire 1 year from the date of the credit.

In 2018, Cross Media Panel merged with Google Opinion Rewards. As such, although some of the reviews below appear to be for Cross Media Panel, they now apply to Google Opinion Rewards, as the panel is the same.

Not sure it's worth it

June 11, 2016 by Martin from United States

Google opinion rewards is an app that tracks your location and gives survey questions. Whereas most surveys will not associate your answers to anything that has an effect on your day to day life, Google will associate your answers to your google account. What this means is that, although no-one can see your answers, and the answers will have a direct effect on what ads you see while browsing any site that uses Google's advertising information (such as admob). This is a bit too personal for me. I don't mind providing aggregated data to survey sites, but I'm not sure I want google using my survey information to target ads or at least they need to pay a lot more for that kind of information.

Ok now but used to be great

It's kinda useless to me now that they've gotten rid of paypal as a reward. This was one of the few ways I could earn a little money. The only good thing about it is that u can now redeem for $5 instead of waiting to reach $25. Hopefully they'll rethink about putting the paypal option back up and I'll give them 5 stars.

Don't get surveys anymore

October 7, 2016 by Lisa from United States

I was getting surveys on average of 3 a week and the last two were surveys related to Trump, asking me if the election were today would I vote for him. A week later, I got the same survey again. I answered it the same. I have not received any surveys since then. I sent feedback to them and have not gotten a reply as to why I have not gotten any more surveys.

Forever to redeem, then forever to send

April 5, 2016 by Jen from United States

The most amount of devices you can add at once is 3, meaning $6 at sign up and $3 each week after. To me, 9 weeks on a regular basis is quite a while to try and redeem. Then, it can take them up to 6 weeks to send you your reward after that, which again seems forever as with most other survey places, it doesn't even take that long for them to send something to your physical address!! Lately, I have had to email them every time it's passed 6 weeks *I went to 10 weeks last time* because they never sent the gift card! It seems like a great practice in theory, however it seems that it takes forever to save up and then forever to receive your reward, if they even remember to send it!

...never got a payout

I downloaded the app because it seemed like a legit place to earn money. It was a nice, clean interface, with quick and easy questionnaires. Unfortunately, I never saw a single survey after the first day of downloading the app. I waited a few months and got nothing so I deleted it.
