Opinion Outpost is a paid survey site that helps connect survey takers to studies conducted by some of the world's biggest companies. By taking surveys, you can make quick cash from home while helping your favorite brands adapt and grow.

The website is owned by Dynata which is a global sampling and survey company. A pioneer in the world of online market research, Opinion Outpost has been around for more than a decade!

Share Your Opinions to Earn Rewards

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.

Earn Great Rewards for Participating

Sign up with Opinion Outpost to take paid surveys and complete product testing assignments in exchange for rewards. Simply join the site for free and receive invitations to complete online surveys on your computer or mobile device.

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.
• Amazon e-vouchers - with just 50 points ($5) in your account, you can request an Amazon.com e-gift code.
• Apple Store gift cards - with 100 points ($10) sitting in your account, you can request an app store / iTunes gift card.
• Retail gift cards - with 100 points ($10) in your account, you can receive a gift card to Nike, Domino’s Pizza, The Home Depot, CVS, Chili’s 3-Choice and more.
• Visa prepaid cards - with 100 points ($10) in your account, you can purchase a virtual Visa prepaid card to spend online or add to your smartphone app for offline spending.

Note that rewards will vary slightly by country. For example, Air Miles Reward Miles are available to Canadian members only (receive 50 Air Miles for 100 Opinion Outpost points).

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).

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY. I WAS WITH THEM FOR ALONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THEIR EHTHICS AND HOW THEY CONDUCTED THEMSELVES WAS EXCELLENT. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR OR SO WHEN THEY WERE SOLD TO A NEW COMPANY THEIR REWARDS, SURVEYS AND HONESTY AS SUFFERED. YOU GET THE RUNAROUND WHEN EVER YOU QUESTION ANYTHING, YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM A SURVEY ON THE LAST QUESTION OF THE SURVEY, NO MORE CHECKS OR VISA REWARDS FROM THEM. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT BOTTOM LINE THEY ARE NOT GOOD TO DEAL WITH. AND OH YES THEY WILL KICK YOU OFF THE PANEL IF THEY DO NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SAY WHEN YOU QUESTION THEIR PRACTICES.

I have been having non stop problems with this site. They keep banning me for dumb reasons. Last time they claim I had 2 accounts and was going too fast, so I reasoned with them and followed the rules. Now on Monday I went to cash out and guess what suspended AGAIN. Ive been writing and writing them. Now then send me a rambling email saying I was in the wrong and it will take a few days to get an answer. WHY when its such a simple problem. I did nothing wrong. I have been following their dumb rules. I feel they are using this excuse to get rid of me because they are tired of paying me. They are so unfair and their rules are so dumb. Stay away from them, yes they may seem better than the other sites because they pay faster but their rules suck and apparently they ban for no reason. Its not worth the headache!

I don't understand why they are given such great reviews! I decided to give it a try due to all of the compliments posted and from the beginning it took forever to accumulate any points. I hear they changed their point system. It doesn't even come close to paying minimum wage plus you can spend a great deal of time screening out. I had my account built up to 6.00 and then they said something about their fraud team and froze my account. Now I not only wasted my time to get to such a low payout but they're not going to pay me at all! Has anyone else had this experience?

Well, I've been with these folks and surveyspot for a while, and although you get a lot of survey invites, they really pay awful per survey. Well, it equates to less than $1 for 20 minutes and more often than not, they grossly UNDERestimate the amount of time it takes for a survey. They'll tell you it's 15 minutes and then it'll take you $30. The points will take too long to cash out even with getting a lot of invites so I'm closing this account....

With this service I spent more time answering two to five questions and then being told I don't qualify for this survey. Waist of my time compared to other sites. Have been trying to use but now it will let me get almost to the end of one answering 80% of the questions and then tells me sorry you didn't qualify. Seems to me they got most of the info they were looking for without paying.
