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).

I joined this site three weeks ago. At first I qualified all the time, and in several weeks had almost $45 in Amazon gift cards. But then it suddenly stopped. I never qualify anymore. I try over 10 surveys a day, and haven't qualified for one the past 8 days in a row!!!! Quick hit, and then you are done. I will even do 10 minutes worth of questions, including product review and everything, and then when the survey is completed it tell me "you didn't qualify"!!! What??? I answered every question including how often i use the product, and what i thought about it. I even watched an advertising clip from the company and reviewed the pro's and con's of it for them. And in the end it said i didn't qualify. I am now being used to complete surveys, but get no credit for them in the end. BEWARE!!!! This company will take advantage of you!!! There are MANY good survey sites, but this one you need to avoid like a disease!!!

I have been with this survey company for 7 long years (I joined around 11/27/2007). I stayed with OpinionOupost for so long despite the technical errors and the disqualifications that usually take place 20 to 25 minutes into the surveys. I'm a very patient person and not the kind of individual that complaint for the sake of complaining. But the last straw is the fact that this company is now requiring business or work telephone number to verify "data". They actually want to call you at work! How do you explain to your boss or supervisor that you are taking a personal call from some survey company while you are on company time? So far I have refused to provide that information and in response I get a message that I should update my member profile. OpinionOutpost claims that providing a business or work telephone number is voluntary, and yet, I cannot complete the "Professional Profile" unless I provide those numbers. Here's the exact same message that they use to request your business or work telephone number:

" *SSI would like to collect your business or work telephone number. Please do not provide your residential phone numbers in this space. In addition to any other uses set forth in SSI’s Privacy Policy, SSI may use the business or work telephone number you voluntarily provide to call you to verify the data provided on this page. SSI is respectful of your time and will try to keep the verification process short."

1/15/2014 - Today I closed my account. I simply stopped getting surveys invitations when I refused to provide a work phone number. Those folks at OpinionOutpost are insane if they think I am going to take a call from them at work and risk getting fired. And even if I were to get permissions from my superiors to receive such call, I would not feel comfortable giving that information to a survey company.

It would appear to me that this company gets as much information from you that they can before popping the message up "We're sorry that you didn't qualify for this survey." There are a lot of companies out there doing this now. They don't want honest opinions about anything. They want all of the information they can get from you for free. I would avoid. I canceled my account.

Freezes accounts when trying to cash out. You constantly get the run around from customer service representatives when calling or send a support ticket. In addition takes unreasonable amounts of time for problems concerning your account o be resolved.Very poor customer service.

January 1, 2014 by sheryl from United States

I've only been doing surveys with them for 2 weeks and cashed out 200 points but they froze my account for "data concerns". I was able to get it unfrozen after 4 days, they said don't click so fast... huh? So I should be slower at taking surveys? I took a long survey 4 days ago worth 40 points, spent over 30 minutes on it and no points were credited? I took the whole survey. I emailed them and was told I was credited..... I had 83 points when my started and still had them when it completed so how was I credited? More and more surveys ask you 10 minutes worth of questions and tell you don't qualify and after the email about not being credited they stopped sending me surveys. Meh, I'm done.
