Opinion Outpost gives everyday consumers the opportunities to participate in online surveys and product tests in exchange for cash rewards and gift cards.

Signing up is free and to do so, simply enter your name, date of birth, zip code and email address on the registration form on their website. After that, you’ll be prompted to confirm your email address before you’re able to begin answering surveys.

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 also have the option to add additional information (via profile surveys) to help Opinion Outpost match you with more relevant surveys to you.

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).

one of the worst survey company, has the practice of canceling accounts without any reason.

April 17, 2019 by Sandra from United States

Update:
In first part of this year 2019, I tried to log in and was unable to do so. I emailed support and was at first told account was frozen because I had been out of the country and tried to do surveys from over seas. I told them I had never been out of the country and then was told account was under review to be sure it was not hacked. I was told not to do any surveys until I got go ahead. About two weeks later I was told I could do surveys that the matter was resolved. In March, I tried to log in and again no luck. This time I got a very rude note saying they no longer wanted me as a member. I had been a good member for many years and did not break any rules so I was confused. I wrote back and ask what the problem was but the answer was they no longer wanted me as a member and the reply was very vague and offered no reasonable reason why.
So I would say don't waste your time. Luckily I had cashed in all my points before this happened and did not lose earnings. After reading other reviews it makes me feel better that it was not just my account, and that I no doubt did nothing wrong.

Before 2019:
I have been a member for years. Always get good quality surveys and receive credit quickly. Love the interactive surveys and ones that ask for opinion of survey. The surveys are fun to do.

I'd been a member for years and a few weeks ago when I tried to log in, I was told my account had been frozen. I emailed them about it and all I got was a vague response and no real answer to my question of WHY I had been suspended, only given a few reasons that usually lead to it. Very, very frustrating. I would recommend using Springboard America, Viewer's Voice, and Crowdtap instead.

I was a member in good standing for almost 3 yrs with Opinion Outpost, & had been a member of their affiliate Quick Thoughts for apprx. 5 months when both of my accounts were cancelled. They absolutely refused to discuss it with me & would not under any circumstances give me a reason why. They did send a form letter type of email (when I asked) that gave a robotic statement saying it could have been any one of several reasons they listed. (none of which applied to me) I wanted to know if there had been a miss-communication, mix-up or something that I could clear up. But, they absolutely shut me down. I take surveys from many sites and am conscientious and reliable with all my answers. I am a retiree & actually need this little extra income so this has been a minor hardship for me. Even a criminal gets to know what they are being charged with. Why couldn't I know what perceived (terrible) crime they think I committed? Very strange way to do business. Was I earning too much? Was I discriminated against for age? Makes one wonder.

I just spent most of the day earning $2.30. I think there are kids in Bangladesh working in sweatshops who make more than that.

The worst part about this site is that they lure you in with 'Take this Survey! 40 points for 45 minutes" but then you click on the button and you find yourself spending even more time answering a whole slew of questions that are just to help OO decide which survey you MIGHT qualify for. And if you don't qualify, then all of your answers that you spent all that time providing are DUMPED into cyber never-never-land, so you will have to answer them again on the next survey, wasting even more time. Holy moly, I thought Swagbucks was bogus, but these people are way worse. At least with Swagbucks, they post a list of surveys and the points for each one and you can pick and choose. With this, you are shooting blind. Or dealing with deception. For instance, I was approved for a survey that said at the beginning it was worth 40 points and would take 45 minutes. Miraculously, I qualified for the survey, which took almost 45 minutes and when I finished, it said 'You earned 5 points". I wasted 45 minutes -- and the lead time, however much that was, to qualify for the survey and I earned a whopping 50 CENTS!!!

For those who know the secret to qualifying for the high-point surveys, my hat is off to you. Apparently, those of us who are currently unemployed and trying to bring in a few extra dollars while job hunting and applying for online college courses are not the right sort of people to answer their questions.
