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.

This Site Is Owned By Survey Sampling International.They Rip People Off And Do Not Pay Money They Owe People.Do Not Waste Your Time.

unbelievable

April 1, 2016 by rebecca from China

Got my account terminated with more than a 1000pts(which worth more than 150 hkd which is like 20bucks) without any explanation and notices (yes! not even an email) send email to the helpdesk no one ans.

later I checked the policy I signed to in the first place, apparently they have the lawful right to terminate ur account with or WITHOUT any reason and dont need to notify u

Appalling

February 8, 2016 by Amina from United Kingdom

I am absolutely appalled by the number of surveys that I have done which have led to technical error messages from the client site, which have precluded me from receiving my incentive. When you contact the panel, they respond with carbon copy emails, which shows they haven't really considered the SPECIFIC incident that you've raised with them.

It's also worth noting that for many surveys that last 20-25 minutes, you are credited a tiny 50p! Absolutely terrible!

Also, last year, I did an SMS study for about a week, in which I shared my experiences with mobile networks via text. During the screening study, I was told I would get about £5 upon completion of the study. After complaining to the panel about my lack of reimbursement several times, they have done NOTHING about it! How dare they!? This is robbery!

Avoid them at all costs.

complaint against terminating my account

January 31, 2016 by Tarvinder from New Zealand

I have been honestly completing surveys and I need to know why my account was terminated. I need to know the reason please as I don't think I have broken any rules and regulations.

Unexplained Account Termination when Redeeming Points

April 13, 2015 by James from Australia

As the title suggests; I had accrued 5600 points and decided to redeem via Paypal, 5000 points. I login to Paypal enter my account information then i'm redirected to a page from OpinionWorld detailing the Terms and Conditions - trying to login results in a message saying my account has been terminated for no reason. Looks like they really don't want you to have any money.
