How Opinion World Works

Creating an OpinionWorld account so that you can be sent paid surveys is easy. Simply navigate to their registration page and fill out a few basic details. If you prefer you can use your Google or Facebook account to sign up in a matter of seconds

Once you’ve done that, you’re free to start completing tasks to earn points and claim rewards and can find surveys listed in your account, or you can wait for them to be e-mailed to you.

Payment and Rewards

Rewards for Surveys

You’ll earn between 50 ($0.50) and 300 ($3) points for each survey you complete, depending on its length. Some surveys do not award points, but rather, offer donations to charities. These surveys are usually quite short and can be taken on an almost daily basis! You will be notified before the start of the survey, if the survey is offering you rewards (points) or asking for your opinion for charitable donations, before you begin.

Once you’ve earned a minimum of $10, you can redeem your points for rewards including Amazon.com vouchers, Visa prepaid debit cards, cash via PayPal, restaurant gift cards, and more.

Rewards for Watching Videos and Reviewing Advertisements

OpinionWorld gives you the opportunity to earn points by watching videos and offering your feedback on video advertisements. The rewards are minimal, but it’s a nice low-effort addition to the website that you might enjoy and can help you reach your cash out goals sooner.

Real World Missions

Depending on your location, you might be able to earn points by completing ‘real world missions’ while you’re out and about.

Most missions of this nature involve sharing information about shops and other customer-serving businesses. You'll need to connect your mobile device in order to participate.

Redeeming Points

The minimum points or dollars redemption threshold is $10 USD (or equivalent in Canada), unless there is a lower redemption option available for a certain reward. Threshold amounts vary in countries outside of the US and Canada. The points conversion is 100-1. This means that the value of every point is $0.01. So if you have 250 points in your account, it will be worth $2.50 (though this amount may vary if you are outside the USA).

Members who choose to redeem their earnings by PayPal or for an e-gift certificate, often receive their payments instantaneously, or within a few hours. Physical gift cards usually take approximately 2 weeks for processing and mailing.

Waste of time

February 26, 2018 by James from Australia

Account terminated without reason when trying to claim. No reply when emailed.

Surprisingly poor treatment

January 13, 2018 by Ronald from United States

After many years of thinking this was a good company, I was allowed to finish a survey and collect my points. When I went to redeem them, I received a termination of my account message without a specific reason. I replied to their HelpDesk (per their instructions) and received an automated response but have never gotten a real response. I had accounts with two of their other survey engines (Survey Spot and Opinion Outpost) and those accounts were also frozen. If you become a member here, cash out your points as soon as you can. Don't let them build as if they terminate your membership (which looks to be common practice from reviews), you lose all banked points.

I wanted to provide an update. I worked with the BBB to contact these folks and after challenging them to provide the specific area of their terms and conditions they feel I violated or provide me the funds I had earned, they agreed to open up all my accounts again. I cashed them in and closed my membership with each (Opinion World, Survey Spot and Opinion Outpost). Each were easy to make money with but the surprising termination after providing my opinions for years was too much risk for me. I would recommend that if you are doing business with them, just cash out at every chance you have.

Used to be one of the best but has now turned dodgy

January 3, 2018 by Elle from United Kingdom

5 weeks ago I would have left a rating of 5 stars for opinionworld but now they don't even deserve half a star.

I've been a member for about 2 years now and it was always one of my favourite survey sites. They used to send multiple surveys, almost daily so I was cashing out 2 or 3 times a month and at £10 a time, this was one of my best earners. Surveys were always 50p to £2.50 each. I also received the odd product test too.

Then 5 weeks ago, they stopped sending me paid surveys. Every single survey invitation I received was only for 1 charity donation. I emailed them about it and they replied with something completely irrelevant to what I had asked - I suppose this makes a nice change compared to other sites that don't even bother to reply. It's been 5 weeks since and all they have sent me is those 1 charity donation invites. I will lose the amount I had in my account as they are no longer sending me paid surveys :(.

It's awful how such a brilliant site has changed for the worse and become dodgy. I was recommending this site left, right and centre before but now I would advise you to keep well away from it. I will close my account.

Membership withdrawn when asked for redemption, please stay out from this

December 15, 2017 by partha from India

After my hard earned 500 points (which are supposed to be equivalent to INR 500), I tried to redeem and immediately my account was closed. This website is a sham and they clearly wont pay. Please stay away...

Terminated my account during redemption

November 21, 2017 by rajesh from India

They terminated my account while redeeming points. I didn't violated any terms and conditions but they terminated my account for no reason. I wrote to their helpdesk and waiting for reply.
