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).

EDIT (April 10th 2021)
2 things.
1: They have done something to their site again. (For me) when ever I go to the main page & click on accept cookies I get re-directed to a blank page. I have to refresh the page to have the sign in page show up. I would try with my browser/s in Safe Mode. I got the same results. I emailed them about it & they said to just clear my cookies & cache. That didn't solve it. It's still a problem to this day.
2: About Mid Feb. 2021 every time I would attempt a survey I would get redirected to a SSI Verify page. It basically says I an unable to take the survey due to various reasons. I emailed them about it. The response was again to clear my cookies & cache. I did that It never fixed the situation. I stayed off the site for about a month & tried again. I get the same results..redirected to the SSI verify page. So after emailing them again, I basically get told more basic things. Like, make sure my browser is up to date, language, date/time is correct. & no, I still cant do any surveys on the site.
I do like this site, Ive been a member for almost 3 years. So being unable to do any surveys since the first week of Feb & not really knowing why is a drag.
My rating was 4 & 1/2, I'll be dropping that to a 2 & 1/2. If the situation changes. I will once again rise the rating back up like I had the last time.
===========================
EDIT
Aug 17th 2020
I dont know if it was something I did within my PayPal or if it was because the site has gone through a facelift. But for some reason I had to Re-link my PayPal account. After I had done that I received payment.

If anyone IS having problems receiving payment (IE: PENDING on your rewards status page) you should wait till you get your points returned to you (30 days) & re-link your PayPal account.

I do like this place. It's sometimes a hit or miss with the amount of surveys for a week. Id say (for me) 5 out of 10 do payout. It's not a massive amount 5-25 points per survey, but you only need 100 points for a $10 PayPal They also changed the way payouts are done. PayPal rewards are now $10 only each time. Which is fine by me.
===================
Some of My Original review
Aug 5th 2020
I dont know what happened to this place. Ive been there for over 2 years now, & have never had a problem with cashing out. Back in June I had cashed out $10 via PayPal. 2 weeks went by & I still hadnt received my payment. I look at my "rewards page" and it still said pending.
The 30days pending passed & my points were returned to me. Ive now tried again (This was 7 days ago) & it still says pending..

If It changes & I get the $10, Ill update this.

While I have few complaints about Outpost's surveys, I am tired of being asked everyday-before I am allowed to take a survey-if myself or any member of my household is suffering from COVID symptoms. Supposedly this is to help track Covid activity. A year into this whole thing, I really don't think any state or federal agency needs help to track COVID activity. I am tired of seeing this question everyday before I allowed to take a survey.

I loved this site to begin with. Great rewards and fairly easy to earn points towards redemption, including special panels that get you big chunks of points. BUT! Watch out - do too well and you get banned. When they added PayPal as a reward I tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to change the email with my account because it has to match. It never worked so I closed that account completely and rejoined with the needed email. During a glitch with my account THEY reopened the old account, refused to close it after no less than 6 requests, told me I was in violation of terms by having multiple accounts (even though it was their fault and I had tried multiple times to get them to fix it), falsely accused me of lying on the surveys I had taken, and then banned me without grounds, all the while snarkily telling me they appreciated my understanding. Interestingly this happened after I made several hundred dollars off of them doing legitimate surveys; I guess they felt I was costing them too much. Their customer service is next to impossible to contact, especially in Canada, they ignore what you ask them to do, and is generally appalling. So if anything ever goes wrong, kiss your points and account goodbye.

I was a member of Opinion Outpost for a couple of years. For a long time, I had no issues and enjoyed my membership. However, at one point, I suddenly stopped qualifying for surveys and had issues with Opinion Outpost paying me what I had earned. When I would go to redeem, I would see a message stating there was a problem that would be resolved, but it was never resolved. So I created a new account, which was a mistake on my part. However, instead of just asking me to close one of my accounts, Opinion Outpost froze both of my accounts and REFUSED to help me, even though I was definitely willing to close an account. They are a HORRIBLE survey site and are not willing to help when there is a problem.

Edit: This issue did get resolved and I have continued to take surveys and earn money.

I racked up £40 some time ago but when I tried to claim it I was told my work was not up to scratch and no appeal. I have only just seen this site so I am two years late...
