KEY FEATURES:

Millions of people express their opinions with OpinionBar each year! Since 1999, OpinionBar has been conducting online surveys on a large variety of subjects.

OpinionBar is run by MetrixLab BV, an international online market research company.

Perks of Joining OpinionBar

OpinionBar offers its members the option to take online surveys, some of which are game-like in nature, or even test new products (and keep them!) before they are released. The fun and easy nature of the surveys make it simple to give your opinion on decisions being made by large corporations. You may also be asked to judge the latest websites or TV commercials or to participate in online brainstorms.

Earn Up To €10 Per Survey

Members who take online surveys will earn between €1.00 and €10.00 for each survey they complete. Panelists will be invited to participate in at least one survey per month and most can be completed in a short 10 minutes, although higher paying surveys may take longer. Even if you are screened out, OpinionBar will reward you with €0.10 for your time. Unlike other panels, you receive cash, not vouchers!

Earn Cash or Donate

Once your account reaches a balance of €10.00, members have two options. They may either request a payment via bank transfer or donate their earnings to a charity of their choice. Payments are issued on the 1st week of every month, and may take up to six weeks to show up in bank records, depending on the country you reside in.

Eligibility: Multiple members can join from the same household who are 18+.

SINCE 3/4/18 THE $10 THEY OWE ME SHOWS AS "PENDING". 6/12/18 IT STILL SHOWS AS PENDING. THEY DO NOT ANSWER MY EMAILS. METRIX, THE PARENT COMPANY IN THE NETHERLANDS, ANSWERED FOR A WHILE BUT DROPPED IT. O.B. SAYS ALLOW UP TO 6 WEEKS FOR PAYMENT, IT IS NOW OVER 3 MONTHS. I NEVER GOT THE $1 FOR SIGNING UP, SO THEY OWE ME $11. DO NOT BELIEVE THE # OF "LIKES" THEY HAVE!
-----------------
10-19-17 STILL UNRESOLVED, WORST OF THE WORST. JOINED 12/24/15, HAVE DONE EVERY SURVEY THEY'VE SENT AND ONLY HAVE $8. THEY WON'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS VIA EMAIL, I KEEP GIVING THEM "BAD" ON THEIR OWN RATINGS, CONTRACTED METRIX PARENT CO. CANNOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHETHER I EVER GOT THE WELCOME REWARD, ROTTEN CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY JUST IGNORE THE QUESTION, SOMEONE NAMED PHONG. I EVEN ASKED IF THEY'D GIVE ME MY $8 ($10 THRESHOLD) SO i CAN GET OUT OF THIS MISERY. THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE REQUEST OR THE CONTENTS OF MY EMAILS..
11-28-16 I JOINED OPINIONBAR DECEMBER 2013. THEY HAVE SENT 27 SURVEYS. THEY OFFER $1 FOR COMPLETING THE PROFILE. I'VE NEVER GOTTEN THE DOLLAR AND ALTHOUGH I OPEN ALL SURVEYS FROM THEM IMMEDIATELY,, USUALLY IT'S CLOSED WHEN I GO TO THE SITE. I HAVE SENT THEM ABOUT 20 EMAILS, MY BALANCE IN NEARLY 3 YEARS IS A PALTRY $2.50. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT THEM. CONTACTED METRIC WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE PARENT COMPANY, HAD A CHAT JUST NOW, THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT. THE TIME IT'S TAKE TO FINT METRIX, DO THE CHAT AND POST THIS WIPES OUT MY $2.50 AND THEN SOME. METRIC CHAT SAYS "OpinionBar is having problem constantly."

8-12-16 DO NOT BOTHER TO CONTACT THEM AT [email protected] IT WILL BOUNCE AND TELL YOU TO GO THE HELP SECTION AT THE SITE, WHICH IS USELESS.I JOINED 12-24-15 AND COMPLETED ALL THE PROFILE QUESTIONS.

THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. JOINED 12-24-15, NEVER GOT THE $1 FOR THE WELCOME SURVEY. THERE ARE 10 COMPONENTS, I COMPLETED ALL, THEY DIDN'T CREDIT ME FOR 4. CLEARLY SHOWS I PARTICIPATED IN ALL 10. 17 SURVEYS FROM 12/15 TO 6/16, 11 CLOSED, 6 "PARTICIPATED" BUT NO PAYMENT, THEY DON'T SAY IF YOU PASSED OR FAILED, JUST "PARTICIPATED." I'M DONE WITH THEM.
3-4-18 UPDATE. I JOINED 12-24-2015 AND DID NOT GET THE REWARD OFFERED FOR JOINING. WROTE SEVERAL TIMES, THEY DO NOT ANSWER. AS OF 03-03-18 I FINALLY ACCUMULATED $10 AND SELECTED PAYPAL. 1. THEY ADVERTISE UP TO $10, ALL MINE WERE $1. 2. ALL OTHER 34 GROUPS I BELONG TO PROCESS PAYMENT REQUESTS WITHIN 5-19 MINS. O.B. PAYS ONLY ON1ST WEEK OF THE MONTH AND IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6 WEEKS TO SEE IT ON A BANK STATEMENT. 4. METRIX IS A PARENT COMPANY, THEY DON'T ANSWER EMAILS EITHER. I AM UNSUBSCRIBING AS SOON AS I GET PAID.

I have been a member of this site for awhile now and just requested a payout a couple of weeks ago. Well, I got an e-mail to go and take a survey there today and when I tried to I was told that I am not registered with that site. If that be the case why am I getting e-mails, addressed to me, to come and take surveys? Makes no sense. I sent them an e-mail concerning my problem but received one back saying I needed to be signed in to send them e-mails concerning any issues I have. That is ridiculous. They have created a problem but now I have to create a new account just to ask them questions. My suggestion...avoid this site. Something is not right concerning them and it will end up being a waste of your time.

Update August 5th, 2017: OpinonBar is a legit site. I have had several issues with them. I have found that when it comes to e-mailing the helpdesk it is literally a waste of time but one you should do nonetheless. Here's why...it creates a trail. I have looked up the parent company on FACEBOOK. If you contact them there they WILL respond to you and get to the bottom of the issue that you are having. I had received no payment after several weeks after requesting one. I sent them a message, they got back to me after a couple days and then handled the problem with Opinionbar. So if they owe you money...FIND THEM ON FACEBOOK AND MESSAGE THEM. They will handle it.

Update: April 11, 2018 - I have been a member of OpinionBar for years but for some reason when I tried to log in to take a survey that THEY e-mailed me to take, I was told that none of my information to log in was correct. I requested to change my password and they said my e-mail was not valid. They deleted my account. I do not have multiple accounts with this site, so they took my account down for no reason. I created a new one to see if it was possible with the same e-mail and it went through. I have e-mailed the helpdesk AND the parent company. They have essentially stole the over $8 I had earned toward a third payout with them. I am far from pleased. If my questions are not answered and I am not reinstated the money I have earned I will be deleting my account with them and warning all against working with them.

Like many others, for some reason they have stopped paying but are still sending invites for surveys. My payment has been pending since August 2017. They have not responded to many emails I have sent. They were paying out in the beginning and responding but not anymore.

March 15, 2018 by Pamela from United States

After belonging for many years and never having a problem being paid I now still have a pending payment over 4 months old. I also have enough to cashout again but no cashout button. I have emailed numerous times with no response at all and no payment made. I am, of course, done taking surveys for them but still want to be paid for what I am owed. Any way to contact them beside thru their useless HelpDesk ?

January 1, 2018 by Scott from United States

Like others that have posted here, I requested a payment months ago and they have not paid. Emails are not responded to, yet I keep getting survey invites. I won't be taking any more surveys with them unless they pay.
