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).

December 16, 2018 by Sean from United States

From what was once a reliable and enjoyable survey site of 2015 has now turn into a time-consuming, tedious and unfair panel. This website was a superb place to go to to help companies invent future products for us consumers while we got paid for our time. The payouts were quick and easy. It really did feel like I was valued as a member of OO for giving my honest thoughts w/ various surveys I've taken. For whatever bizarre, idiotic reason, OO now takes WAY TOO LONG to even give you the cash or gift card redemptions you worked hard for and the customer service support is atrocious. It can take up to a week to hear a CS representative to respond to your inquiries about survey errors that occur. Overall, this site is disappointing to even use anymore because I'm getting underpaid opinion points for completing 25+ minute surveys (that only pay literally FIVE opinion points) and the redemptions are unnecessarily long to wait to complete. The panel lost its touch completely over the past 3+ years and it'll never be the same ever again........

Updated Dec 2018. Two weeks after requesting my account be unfrozen, it finally was. But 1.5 mo. later it is frozen again. Subsequently hours spent doing surveys are lost. I'm giving up on this co. and definitely do not recommend it.

Updated Oct 2018. I've reduced my rating from 4.5 stars to 2. I believe the ownership or management of this company may have changed in the past several months. My account has been frozen for some kind of data violations or irregularity with no explanation. I'm even unable to see my account to know how many points I've accumulated. I received an automated message from customer service in response to my query and will update this review depending on the action taken. However, after reading numerous stories about accounts being frozen on this site and several others with no satisfactory explanation, I now believe this is a common practice, and I might lose rewards earned after hours of survey responses. If so, I'll be highly displeased. If you join this panel, I would recommend cashing whenever you have enough points to reduce the chance of loss.
____________________
I've belonged to this panel for about 12 years and am satisfied in comparison with several other panels. Points build up regularly; the reward per survey is average. I've redeemed many times for amazon e-gift cards that are easy to credit to my amazon account or for paypal cash. A fast and easy process.

We took a 30 day survey worth $50. I resent the original email over and over. get NOTHING but excuse after excuse as why I cant get the $50 that was promised in the survey. They did credit me 50 points. This is a lot of bs to me. I do a survey for 30 days everyday and don't get what is promised.

They are participating in some very troubling behavior where they freeze your account when you attempt to cash in your points. My account was frozen immediately upon the first time I tried to cash in my points for a $10 Paypal credit. Helpdesk only provided either automated or scripted responses providing a list of actions I'd never done, such as having multiple accounts, providing inaccurate profile or survey responses, or some vacuous nonsense about "being thoughtful and attentive in responding to our surveys". It took over 10 days to unfreeze the account the first time. They then did it again approximately 2 weeks later and after nearly a month of ignoring my emails, said they would not unfreeze the account again and still failed to provide anything specific I'd done wrong other then requesting to trade in my legitimately earn points.
