Payment and Rewards

Take Surveys, Receive O-Points

Take online surveys about multiple different topic matters, and receive Opinion Points (O-Points) in exchange for your opinions. For each survey you complete, you will be rewarded with O-Points ranging from 100 points ($1.00) to 500 points ($5.00). After becoming a member, complete the background profiling information to have 500 points (worth $5) deposited into your account.

Points per Survey

Typically 100 points = $1. Surveys typically award 125-625 points, depending on the length and complexity of the activity. If you get screened out, you still get awarded with 25 points! You can also accrue points by taking part in quick polls (10 points each).

Choose from Hundreds of Gift Cards

Once your account balance reaches 2,000 points ($20), you can exchange your points for electronic gift cards. Hundreds of gift card retailers are available to choose from including the big ones like Amazon.com, Lowes, Barnes & Noble, and more.

Survey Taking Experience

Participate Often

Once you are a member of the panel, you can expect to receive 1-5 activity invitations monthly.

Participating in Surveys

Surveys take between 10-15 minutes to complete, although in some instances, they can be as short as 5 or a bit longer than 15 minutes. For each survey you complete, you receive points that can be redeemed for electronic gift cards. Each survey will state the amount of compensation at the beginning, so you'll always know what you stand to earn for your participation before you begin.

OpinionsUSA No Place for Moms

June 15, 2017 by Thelma from United States

Hello, I have taken several surveys since joining OpinionsUSA and one particularly which earned me $50 for online participation, for which I know the company has paid, but OpinionsUSA has not paid me.

I requested 2 Tango Card Rewards, 1 for $50, 1 for $10, but neither has been paid, and I have written the customer service through contact over 6 times. No response, just terrible.

My name is Thelma B, and below is data from the screenshot I took proving my earnings and rewards request. My next step is to look into legal action, although a small amount, my time should not be taken for granted.

I thought I'd finally joined a honest site, how wrong I've been. And no, a response has not been lost in my spam folder or inbox. I check both daily and do not stockpile message in my inbox.

Check out my supposed earnings below, I am going to contact the directors behind the surveys I took to find out if they are aware I have not been paid through Opinionsusa.

Still no surveys!!

May 22, 2017 by Sara from United States

I completely understand that surveys are not always available, but it is still suspicious that as I near cash out, all of a sudden surveys stop coming when I used to get them on a regular basis. It has been over 4 months now and it was NEVER that way before. I log in and have never seen a survey available. They have always came via email.

UPDATE 5/21/2017: Still no surveys. I would file a complaint and get the balance that is in my account, but reading another review it seems that they won't respond to it. I may decide to do it anyway. Surveys are taken and people should be paid what they are owed even if they have not reached the cashout level.

No One's Home

April 26, 2017 by Kerry from United States

I joined this panel and it has taken over a year to accumulate enough points for a redemption.--When I get close, they suddenly up the amount of points and since you only get a couple surveys a year,it takes forever.--The final insult is when I sent 7 support e-mails over 2 months directly from their site and they were all returned as un-deliverable.--I've taken surveys on-line for 15 yrs. and this is not a legit company by any standards. I will also file a complaint with BBB and anyone else who listens. --Survey Police, Please investigate and give me your assessment.--Thanks.--

4/25/17-My review received a Opinions USA response saying they did not change the redemption points amount.--That is true but that is just the BASE($20.00) amount needed to redeem for anything. The gift cards pts. needed have escalated twice in a year.i.e.-Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc. $25.00 min, etc.,--The fact that Matthew answered my and 3 other negative reviews which were 2 -3 wks. older, again shows the lack of customer service/response time.--Let's cut to the chase.--I still have not received a personal reply to any of my support e-mails even after Opinions USA took the time to respond on Survey Police's forum.--Is that because of the larger audience? Just shows me again that my value as a member isn't important to Opinions USA.--This is not about money.--My integrity is worth more than $20.00 and I am a firm believer in Karma.--You are welcome to donate my unredeemed pts to a charity.-

No rewards

March 24, 2017 by Sherry from United States

I see that other people have trouble with this same survey company so I'm not the only one who is still waiting for their e-gift cards after cashing in their points. I have sent them 3 e-mails so far, and I have heard nothing back except from a Microsoft e-mail telling me that they wouldn't accept my e-mails. I'm only out 2 $10.00 Kohl's e-gift cards, but, to me, that's quite a bit when you live on a fixed income. I worked hard to get those points, and now I'm out of luck. I belong to a lot of other survey companies and have never had this trouble. If I could find a phone number for them, I would give them a call. Maybe I should try sending them a regular letter through the U.S. mail.

Hi Sherry,

I'm not sure what would cause your emails to fail during delivery, but I'm sorry you have had difficulty emailing us. Are you using: [email protected]?

Most importantly, have you received your gift cards yet? The email with your gift card would have come from "Tango Card" and the subject line should say "OpinionsUSA Electronic Gift Card". Sometimes these emails can end up in peoples Junk Folders, and I always encourage folks to double check that. Either way, please let me know if your issue has been resolved. I want to make sure you receive your reward, and you are not out of luck. We will get it resolved.

Thank you for being a valued member of the OpinionsUSA panel!
