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).

Spent 3 hours on a survey for 6000 points only to be told it a glitch. Don't the check the surveys.

March 23, 2019 by Suzanne from United States

I was a member in good standing for almost 3 yrs with Opinion Outpost, & had been a member of their affiliate Quick Thoughts for apprx. 5 months when both of my accounts were cancelled. They absolutely refused to discuss it with me & would not under any circumstances give me a reason why. They did send a form letter type of email (when I asked) that gave a robotic statement saying it could have been any one of several reasons they listed. (none of which applied to me) I wanted to know if there had been a miss-communication, mix-up or something that I could clear up. But, they absolutely shut me down. I take surveys from many sites and am conscientious and reliable with all my answers. I am a retiree & actually need this little extra income so this has been a minor hardship for me. Even a criminal gets to know what they are being charged with. Why couldn't I know what perceived (terrible) crime they think I committed? Very strange way to do business. Was I earning too much? Was I discriminated against for age? Makes one wonder.

I was really shocked to see any negative reviews. I had one issue with my account freezing and it was resolved within 48 hours with regular feedback and an apology from the company. If you expect to become a millionaire doing surveys you are a moron. If you are looking for some extra income to supplement your grocery bill and learn to use promocodes what you earn can go a long way. My experience has been 6-8.00 every 2 days. I only use it about 45 minutes a day. Not too shabby!!!

I just spent most of the day earning $2.30. I think there are kids in Bangladesh working in sweatshops who make more than that.

The worst part about this site is that they lure you in with 'Take this Survey! 40 points for 45 minutes" but then you click on the button and you find yourself spending even more time answering a whole slew of questions that are just to help OO decide which survey you MIGHT qualify for. And if you don't qualify, then all of your answers that you spent all that time providing are DUMPED into cyber never-never-land, so you will have to answer them again on the next survey, wasting even more time. Holy moly, I thought Swagbucks was bogus, but these people are way worse. At least with Swagbucks, they post a list of surveys and the points for each one and you can pick and choose. With this, you are shooting blind. Or dealing with deception. For instance, I was approved for a survey that said at the beginning it was worth 40 points and would take 45 minutes. Miraculously, I qualified for the survey, which took almost 45 minutes and when I finished, it said 'You earned 5 points". I wasted 45 minutes -- and the lead time, however much that was, to qualify for the survey and I earned a whopping 50 CENTS!!!

For those who know the secret to qualifying for the high-point surveys, my hat is off to you. Apparently, those of us who are currently unemployed and trying to bring in a few extra dollars while job hunting and applying for online college courses are not the right sort of people to answer their questions.

I joined years ago, loved it then. Lately they banned me. I answered the surveys as truthful as possible as I can. Still they banned me!
