Payment and Rewards

Join Quickly, Using Your Existing Accounts

If you have a Facebook or LinkedIn account, you can simply connect one of these accounts with MyOpinions in order to join in seconds! Alternatively, sign up the traditional way by completing their registration form.

Take Surveys, Earn Points

Surveys generally take between 10-40 minutes. The longer the survey, the more points you stand to gain! For each survey you successfully complete, you will earn between 10-400 points for your participation. 100 points is the equivalent of approximately $1.00.

Redeem Your Points for Flexi eGift Cards

With 1,100 points ($10), in your account, you can request an instant cashout for a Flexi eGift card. These cards can then be converted into other retailer gift cards including Apple, Woolworths, Myer, Coles, Dominoes, Playstaion, David Jones, JB-Hifi, and many more. Flexi eGift card codes are e-mailed and are available in denominations of $10, $20, $50, and $100. The Flexi eGift card should arrive into the email address you provided within 2 working days of the request.

Get Paid By PayPal, Instead

If you prefer to get paid to your PayPal account, when you have 2,000 points in your account, you may request a $20 PayPal payment. With 10,600 points you can request a $100 payment. The processing time for PayPal payments can vary, while Flexi eGift cars are issued immediately after request.

Dont bother !

December 28, 2017 by Trev from Australia

Not worth the time for rewards received. I was able to cash in rewards once but never again after. After asking for assistance over and over again with out success their support team canceled my account and I had lost all of my rewards. Each time they kept sending me the same copy and paste answer that didn't work.

No Surprises

November 14, 2017 by John from Australia

The only heartening thing I find in reviewing "My Opinions" is that I find I am not the only one wronged by this group. I have been doing "My Opinions Postman" surveys for several years (Points Balance 27,659) and :"Opinion World" since December, 2016). All going well until 10 March 2017. I didn't qualify for all surveys, but suddenly from both "M.O.P" and "O.W" the most common message received told me, "unfortunately we are unable to record your participation in this survey", followed by four suggested reasons, all of which were absolute nonsense. After 10 March, I suddenly found that I did not qualify for a single survey. Wrote to "[email protected]". The reply repeated the previously received four suggestions and added three more - again, absolute nonsense.

Rang the 1-800 number (Connecticut, USA) and explained all to a woman who promised to look into my problem and get back within a few days. No reply after a week, so thought it advisable to cash in my rewards.

Surprise! Surprise! When I try to Log In, I am met with the notice, "Your membership has been terminated as result of the violation of the My Opinions Terms and Conditions." Letter to "[email protected]" and also to "[email protected]" to find out which of the Terms and Conditions I had suddenly violated and how I could redeem my reward points. Have not received an answer, and am not holding my breath.

Does anyone know if there is a contact point in Australia other than the three email addresses I have already used?

Does the Survey Police website offer any support for those of us caught up in this deceit, or is it merely a forum where those of us who feel cheated can let off a bit of steam?

The above was first posted back in May. No surprise that the 26 posts since my original all tell the same story. I followed up the letters mentioned above with a letter to Head Office in Connecticut. No surprise that months later a reply has not been received. No surprise also to find that MyOpinions now ranks at Number 83 out of 83 survey groups listed. The only surprise is that it is still listed at all, which can only mean that there remain unsuspecting people still doing their surveys who have yet to try to collect their rewards.

Horrible

Try to redeem your points and your account is terminated after all those days trying to accumulate them.

Over zealous "security" measures

November 4, 2017 by Kevin from Australia

Like many others here I had my account "terminated" whilst being owed the princely sum of $10. After three emails I finally redeemed this and ceased my membership of all their panels. If you log in from a different device, a different IP address or belong to Your Voice or Opinion World, they flag your MO account as compromised and hence the ridiculous time and effort to redeem your points and to get your account reinstated. Other survey sites have no issue if you log in from different devices so one can only assume their "security" system is far too sensitive and over zealous. Why not send you an SMS code if they suspect that your account is compromised? Instead each time you want to redeem points you have to send them an email and wait days for a reply. My advice is to go elsewhere.
