Opinion Outpost is a paid survey site that helps connect survey takers to studies conducted by some of the world's biggest companies. By taking surveys, you can make quick cash from home while helping your favorite brands adapt and grow.

The website is owned by Dynata which is a global sampling and survey company. A pioneer in the world of online market research, Opinion Outpost has been around for more than a decade!

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).

this company has a very nasty habit of letting you go right to the end of a survey and then stopping with quota full !! Why the hell don't they log you as a participant as soon as you get the notice to say you are a good match. Most frustrating survey company out there. They waste so much of your time and if you contact them they will not be interested in anything you have to say. Immoral bunch,

I can honestly say that this is the best and the top survey site out there. I get paid usually every two to three days, nothing beats that.

I would not bother with the other sites if I did not have to. I would only fill out only their surveys if it was possible.

The complaints that I have read has not happened to me and any problems that I had got resolved by their team.

Keep doing what you are doing Opinion Outpost, this is one satisfied member to date.

Updated 12/12/2017: Opinion Outpost replied to my negative review with a canned message about sending an email to their "helpdesk" about my deleted account. Did they not think I had already done that, several times? The "helpdesk" was less than helpful. First my account was frozen, then it was deleted altogether. You couldn't pay me to send yet another email to these people, and nor will I ever sign up with them again.

As many other people have experienced recently, my account was also deleted for "data security" -- which is utter nonsense. I'm a professional, well-educated woman who has no reason to lie on surveys. I've had an account with OO off and on since 2014, and I'm really disappointed in how this company has treated its panelists.

The best opinion site that I do, in my list of opinion sites. I'm still new but I've made about 300 $ in the last 12months. I think thats pretty good for one site. And sometimes I take a few days off. So of I were treating it like a full time job...I'd prob make double on ally fav sites. Definitely try this one as a keeper.

A year or two later and the pay rate is sliding down. The Doors contest is a joke. They told me 1 out of 83 win. Right! Sadly they used to be one of the best.

Update 12/3. While I am seemingly a contrarian, I feel they have headed back downhill again. Payout rates have deteriorated. Their support tool has not been updated for years (although actual support is satisfactory). Surveys too often end up with messages which are cryptic at best (e.g. "Unable to Record Participation blah blah, blah") Also, they have Ears bigger than Bozo! They do pay as quick as any which is a plus.

Update 4/25. They have been better this year though the payouts have gone down. Customer service has been good, but too much time spent answering questions and providing meaningful information only to be dq'd. I'm still happy to be a member and their payout process is the BEST!
I am surprised by the number of recent negative comments about OO. They have tons of surveys, I qualify for more than enough, I get paid via the gift card option in 1 day and they respond to my EMails within 1 day! I love them!

Update 1/19

Maybe two stars now, They have been going downhill in the past three months. Less surveys, more DQ's. more issues. Maybe they'll get better again, but I doubt it!

Update 1/23

By far the most annoying thing which happened twice today
and far too often in the past few months is being near completion of a survey and then being kicked out and saying you don't qualify. I'm not holding out much hope that they will be more from me than a continuing waste of my time and effort!

Customer Support is okay in that they respond, but lately they have been less "gracious". Those who rave about their service, just wait til you get a few "sorry, but" responses.

10/20
Well so much for customer service, several inquiries more than a week passes and have heard nothing. This is totally unacceptable and merits a 1!
