This was one of my favourite when stated out but how can they now claim to be a survey panel - you have to have surveys to complete to be regarded as such. Redemption limits are a clear attempt for survey panels to con people out of valid earnings - I now have many sites I just have given up on with quite sizeable balances on.

When I first started, I noticed that about 95% of the surveys on this site took longer than they estimated. A survey described as eight minutes took approximately fifteen minutes or more on average. Worse, sometimes I spent approximately twenty minutes, provided a great deal of information - picture answering thirty questions about the food you feed your dog - just to be disqualified and not paid. They gather a LOT of personal information from you, though I can't say for certain that it is sold to telemarketers. However, I do get a great deal of calls that I have had to block since joining. To be fair, that could just be a coincidence.

After I had bit of money in my account, it was canceled. When I contacted OneOpinion, I was told that some third party survey companies had complained that they could not use my answers. Since my answers were honest and I always took my time to provide accurate information, I translated this to them not liking the truth as I saw it. Had a bad experience with your power company? Is the local shopping center that everyone visits as awful as the one in my town? Those were some of the types of surveys I completed right before they abruptly ended my membership. I did follow the rules, which are basically not to threaten anyone, rush through the surveys, or use profane language. Easy enough to comply. They did not inform me of what was going on; I just couldn't log in and contacted them.

I am now in the process of contacting the companies that I remember taking surveys about to inform them I won't be buying their products anymore. I cite OneOpinion as the reason why. I doubt many of them will care. However, I have been asked countless questions about my bank and stock brokers; pretty sure it will at least matter to them. Especially if I take my business somewhere else. In retrospect, I shouldn't have answered any financial questions anyway. That was simply wrong on my part, not OneOpinion's.

My recommendation would be not to even join this site. I earned a gift card or two, but it wasn't worth the time. If you do want to attempt this endeavor, please remember to contact them at any point where you feel you have spent a lot of time on a survey and not been paid. It happened to me a lot. If the virtual assistant feature can't help, you should take it to the next level and request an actual person to address your problems. This, at least, is pretty simple to do. You don't always get compensated for your time, but that had improved somewhat before I was "banned" from the site.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review and good luck.

Addendum: Another reviewer made very valid point. He stated that it was when he complained about not being compensated, his account was suspended. I wonder now if they canceled my account because I did begin to complain when an issue arose. I have no way of knowing for certain, but I now believe there is a direct correlation between asking to be given what is rightfully due to being suspended or banned from the site.

I've had this happen to me twice now. Most recently I got up to $27 and went to order a $25 Amazon gift card. The next day when I logged in it said the gift card was refunded. No explanation, no e-mail. So I asked about it. They said my account was "paused." No explanation. Finally I got an explanation - they accused me of "abusing their system" by reporting problematic surveys that had errors or didn't properly award points! Their system allows you to type in questions about recent surveys. It often gives full points for a survey, which seems fair if you've done an entire survey or a substantial portion of one, but the survey then inexplicably disqualifies you or fails to award points that would be a proper recompense for the time spent. One Opinion however thinks that if you use their customer service and report a problematic survey - and then their system automatically gives you points to make things fair - that you've "abused" their system! In other words they want you to not use their customer service to report these surveys (there are many), and object to their own programmed system making things fair. Unbelievable.

Watch out, folks: I've had well over their required 25,000 points for weeks on end now, and they persistently refuse to pay out, giving all sorts of error messages. They cannot be contacted, either (save for computerized messages which, of course, are no good)... Hands off!

October 13, 2018 by Andy from United States

It took a while, but I finally managed to accumulate over 25,000 points, which was enough to redeem. I submitted a redemption request, but about a week later, the points were returned to my account and I did not receive my reward. Now, whenever I try to redeem, I get an error message and the redemption does not go through. It seems that they froze me out shortly after I earned enough points to redeem.

Update - after posting my review I was contacted by an employee of OneOpinion and they told me that my account had been locked out because I had a VOIP phone number. Since then, I was able to get my account unlocked by changing my phone number. I have since modified my review, but I still think that much of my original complaint remains valid - I was never contacted or given any explanation for why I had been locked out, and the situation would never have been resolved if I hadn't posted about my experience here.

Update - September 2018 - They froze my account again with no explanation given. This is the second time this has happened with absolutely no reason given and nothing I did that should have led to this. At this point, I am giving up on this panel.
