Take Surveys and More

Once you've fully registered, you’ll see a “Surveys” link on your main account dashboard. This will take you to your list of available surveys. You can choose to have surveys emailed to you if you prefer.

You don't have to wait long to get rewarded - if you take a survey worth 50 points, you'll already have enough to redeem a $5 Amazon.com gift card. The following reward options are offered on the site in exchange for participating:

• PayPal payments - with only 100 points (worth $10/£5), you can request that a PayPal payment be made to your account. Bear in mind that only verified PayPal accounts will qualify for payment.

Super-Fast Rewards Delivery

Opinion Outpost is very unique in that rewards are often delivered instantly after requesting them. It's uncommon to have to wait more than a few minutes/hours to receive a PayPal payment or e-gift card that you've requested, though technically they advertise a 3 day rewards processing period.

Take Surveys Often

Paid surveys will be sent to you on a regular basis. You can also visit the website, log in and find a list of available surveys, giving you plenty of chances to make cash. A typical Opinion Outpost survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and the number of points you can expect to receive per survey ranges between 5 to 50 points.

Qualifying Questions

Before you begin your chosen survey, you may have to answer a series of multiple-choice questions. These may appear to be irrelevant to the topic of the survey itself, but are a way for researchers to ensure they're receiving responses from the people they're looking for answers from. Sometimes, you’ll be disqualified from taking the survey after answering these, however there will usually be other surveys available for you to take.

Modern, Interactive Surveys

Opinion Outpost offers fun, interactive online surveys that are attractive and simple to take. On top of offering sweepstakes entries, periodically, they offer games at the end of surveys which give you the opportunity to win additional points and/or additional sweepstakes entries. One such game is called the Opinion Outpost Door Game.

Opinion Outpost App

Opinion Outpost does not offer a mobile app. Although most of their surveys are mobile-friendly and can be completed on your phone, you will still need to access them via your e-mail, or by logging into the website from your phone.

Badges

Opinion Output offers ‘Badges’, which essentially serve as loyalty bonuses. You will start out with a Bronze membership and have the chance to upgrade to Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond based on how active you are on the website and how complete your profile is.

As your badge levels increase, additional achievement points are awarded, which can be found on your Survey History page. These will show up as 'community achievement'. Bear in mind that you can be downgraded to a lower tier badge if you don’t remain active on the website.

Quarterly Chances to Win $10,000

If you are in the USA and you get disqualified from a survey, participate in a survey, or exchange your valuable points for an entry, you will have a chance to win $10,000 in a quarterly cash draw. That means that $40,000 in total is awarded to 4 lucky members every year! If you are in Canada, there are also sweepstakes available in the form of 4 quarterly draws worth $1,250 each ($5,000 yearly).

Refer Your Friends to Earn More

Opinion Outpost's referral program will award you $1.00 every time you refer a friend using your custom link and they complete at least one survey. Earn up to $5.00 in total. Find the "refer a friend" tab when you log into your account to grab your custom referral link to share with friends or extended family members (available to US panelists only).

There are some surveys on this website that are amazing and can give you anywhere from 3 to 5$ but then there are others that make your eyes bleed. The 5$ minimum and instant cash out are nice features. Website design is decent as well.

They used to be really good, recently for the last few months, I've been getting less and less surveys, now most I don't qualify for, not sure why that changed because I've been with them for awhile now

I've been sent a lot of surveys but each time I try to do one I do not qualify. I know this happens sometimes with every company, but to take 20+ surveys and not qualify for ONE of them... I give up.

I have been on this freakin site for over a year now and I have been suspended 3 times and the third they closed my account. Every time they suspended my account or was some stupid reason like data concerns or breach of terms. I would completely understand if they were concerned with something but I always emailed them asking what was wrong or what I did. Every time they come back saying they would look into it and that would be fine if they ever told me what I did wrong but they never did when they did email me they just said my account was deleted without telling we a reason way so I could explain our defends myself.

Short version is to just skip over this one because they are always looking for some reason to kick you out.

Of all the survey sites I've tried, this is the one which has the easiest and quickest way to cash out. Once you get 100 points, you can take the cash option which will transfer the money to your paypal account in minutes (10 cents per point).

So far, there's been a lot of surveys available. You don't always qualify for them, but usually, they screen you out before you get too far into them. And for your effort, they'll give you an entry into the $10,000 giveaway that takes place every 3 months. A little tip, if you don't qualify, click "no thanks". It will give you the option to play one of 2 mini games for more entries (wheel) or points (door). (although I'm not convinced the door one is winnable at all because I literally always end up with the yellow token #2).

The downside is that the surveys you do qualify for don't really give that many points for the time they take (I'd had a few 12 minute surveys only give me 5 points). And even then, the time length is not always accurate. A "5 minute" survey can take 15 to 20 minutes. Another issue is that every now and then, you'll end up with a survey that doesn't give any points, just entries into their $10,000 (which you'll get anyway, even if you don't qualify for the survey). This doesn't happen too frequently, but it happens enough to cause frustration when all you need are five more points to cash out.

This brings me to the buggy parts of the site. While most of the time, I have gotten the points promised, there were a couple of instances in which I was told I didn't qualify directly after taking the survey. There were also a couple of times where I got a message telling me that they couldn't credit me points because I was suspected of violating their terms (something about already taking the survey using my computer.) Lastly, the surveys they email to you often just link you back to their "we're all ears" page. And if they don't list a point value, don't bother. Because it probably means the survey will just get you an entry into the $10,000.

However, those bugs don't happen that often and since it's so easy to cash out (especially compared to other sites like this), I'd rate them above average.
