American Consumer Opinion, also known as ACOP, is a research powerhouse. They have paid out 35 million dollars in rewards to 7 million members worldwide who have taken over 20 million surveys.

The American Consumer Opinion panel was originally created by Decision Analyst in early 1986. Decision Analyst is a member of the BBB and holds memberships with many prestigious marketing associations.

Join to Take Surveys and More

Take paid surveys and participate in product tests and focus groups with American Consumer Opinion. Join the site by navigating to the ACOP website and become a member by creating an account using your Facebook, Google, or Apple account, or simply your email address.

Once you have entered a few personal details, you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you registered. After you’ve completed this, you will be transferred back to the American Consumer Opinion dashboard and you will see a list of surveys you’ll be eligible to take.

Participate to Earn Rewards

Every survey you see listed on ACOP's website will show the number of points you can earn for completing it. You can either log in regularly to the website to check for new survey opportunities, or opt in to receive emails whenever a new survey becomes available. Alternatively, you may provide your cell phone number in order to be notified by text when a new paid survey becomes available.

Once you've participated in just $10 (1000 points) worth of online surveys, you can redeem your points for a cash reward or a gift card of your choosing.

Rack up Points

Each time you take a survey, you will earn points for your opinions. Screener surveys (short surveys) are worth between 5 – 50 points, or an entry into a monthly draw, and are 20 questions or less. Longer surveys offer points ranging from 100 – 5,000.

Great Reward Options

As a panelist of ACOP, you must have a 1,000 point minimum balance ($10 worth) to redeem your points. Once you have reached this minimum, you may redeem your balance for the following options:

• PayPal: For most countries, use PayPal to cash out your earnings in a simple and easy manner. If you decide to use PayPal as your cash out option, make sure your PayPal email matches the email you used to sign up with American Consumer Opinion.

• Hyperwallet: Like PayPal, Hyperwallet is a user-friendly payment platform that operates in 170+ countries. Allow 8-12 weeks for payment and receive a confirmation email once your money is available.

• Sweepstakes Cash Out: Use your points toward sweepstakes entries that give you a chance to win a variety of lucrative prizes. (Note that once a sweepstakes has been entered using your points, you do not get your points back, even if you are not selected as a winner).

• Charity Donations: Choose to donate your money to a variety of credible charities.

American Consumer Opinion Surveys

ACOP offers online surveys to its members that are interesting and quick, with the average survey taking approximately 10 minutes to complete.

In addition to online surveys, participate in other research opportunities such as product testing, focus groups, and judging the newest advertising campaigns. You can expect to receive invitations for participation from American Consumer Opinion several times a year.

Household Surveys

A few times a year ACOP sends out a survey that pertains to each household. The survey asks what products and services you use on a day-to-day basis. If you participate in this survey, you will be more likely to receive additional future survey invitations, which can translate into earning more points!

Prize Draws

If you attempt to complete a survey but are prevented from doing so (i.e., you are disqualified), you will automatically receive an entry into the Monthly Screener Drawing. Prizes can vary, though they typically consist of $100 Amazon gift cards. Winners lists are published monthly and are accessible directly from your ACOP account dashboard. In any given month, $500 worth of prizes is usually awarded.

Invite Friends to ACOP!

American Consumer Opinion is always looking to grow its family worldwide. If you know a family member, friend or co-worker who would enjoy sharing their opinions in exchange for great rewards, then refer them to ACOP using your unique referral link (available in your account). Each time you successfully refer a new member, you will receive an entry into a monthly draw worth 5,000 points! Currently, recruits from the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and France are permitted.

BBB Accreditation

American Consumer Opinion's parent company, Decision Analyst, is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Arlington, Texas (and has been for over a decade). They maintain a solid BBB rating.

Is ACOP Legit?

American Consumer Opinion is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel run by Decision Analyst - a credible market research firm. The ACOP website has been online for more than 20 years and with millions of survey takers worldwide, BBB accreditation and over $35 million in payments issued to members, ACOP is a safe and legit survey site.

Although some users may have varying levels of success with the website (i.e. users outside of Western nations may not be invited very often to complete surveys), it doesn't mean that the panel itself is illegitimate. American Consumer Opinion is available in 11 different languages in over 200 countries.

Eligibility: International members accepted, aged 14+. Limit of one person per household.

Payment has shown as pending since 8 February and messages have gone unanswered.

I've been with this company for years. On the upside they do pay. On the downside they take forever to pay you. There FAQ says 8-12 weeks. Experience says it will take every bit of 12 weeks even then you usually have to send 1 to 2 inquiries to which they'll give some nonsense about their accounting dept being backed up but you will eventually get it.

So I have been with this survey company for a long time, and finally I had enough points to cash out for a $10.00 PayPal payment and when it reached the 6 to 8 weeks I never received anything. I contacted them and still have not heard anything back. I don't like to waist my time giving my opinion just to get screwed over I like to do surveys but for rewards my opinion and time are not free. I would never have waited my time doing all these surveys had I know they don't give you your reward.

I've been with ACOP for years. This last month has been the final straw for me enough to find out if they are in trouble and thus finding this website. Like a lot of others, ACOP gives me a nice handful of surveys each week. They have screener questions to see if you qualify or not for a survey. I've been noticing that especially lately, most of the screeners are seemingly actual surveys where I'm giving my thoughts and opinions on actual things. Then at the end, abruptly, I'm disqualified for whatever reason. Very discouraging. When I do manage to "qualify", it takes a long time to get rewarded for it. And even longer if you want a payout. In fact...I've been waiting over 4 months for over $10. It claims 6-8 weeks. Waiting for a payout has been painfully slow for the past few years, although now...I noticed when I do email regarding my payment being late, the response time for them to return my email has been a lot longer. It's the same cookie cutter response where the accounting department will send out an email when my money is sent out to paypal. That was 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago and still heard nothing from anybody. It's not unusual for me to have 2 or 3 rewards pending for ACOP due to the slowness of their payouts. I'm not sure what is happening over there, but I'm nervous. Ten bucks is ten bucks, you know but just don't count on it when it doesn't come in when it should.

UPDATE: So last September I cashed out for $10. It just recently was approved this past few weeks, however still haven't received it. It's frustrating for sure, but they do still manage to pay you...eventually. They are just even slower.

I joined American Consumer Panel in Dec. 2016, I was told I didn't have to but..... that Global Marketing was their new partner. All I get is "free" surveys to fill out. I've not gotten one thing from American Consumer Panel. I don't want to work for points I signed up to work for dollars.
