How Opinion World Works

Creating an OpinionWorld account so that you can be sent paid surveys is easy. Simply navigate to their registration page and fill out a few basic details. If you prefer you can use your Google or Facebook account to sign up in a matter of seconds

Once you’ve done that, you’re free to start completing tasks to earn points and claim rewards and can find surveys listed in your account, or you can wait for them to be e-mailed to you.

Payment and Rewards

Rewards for Surveys

You’ll earn between 50 ($0.50) and 300 ($3) points for each survey you complete, depending on its length. Some surveys do not award points, but rather, offer donations to charities. These surveys are usually quite short and can be taken on an almost daily basis! You will be notified before the start of the survey, if the survey is offering you rewards (points) or asking for your opinion for charitable donations, before you begin.

Once you’ve earned a minimum of $10, you can redeem your points for rewards including Amazon.com vouchers, Visa prepaid debit cards, cash via PayPal, restaurant gift cards, and more.

Rewards for Watching Videos and Reviewing Advertisements

OpinionWorld gives you the opportunity to earn points by watching videos and offering your feedback on video advertisements. The rewards are minimal, but it’s a nice low-effort addition to the website that you might enjoy and can help you reach your cash out goals sooner.

Real World Missions

Depending on your location, you might be able to earn points by completing ‘real world missions’ while you’re out and about.

Most missions of this nature involve sharing information about shops and other customer-serving businesses. You'll need to connect your mobile device in order to participate.

Redeeming Points

The minimum points or dollars redemption threshold is $10 USD (or equivalent in Canada), unless there is a lower redemption option available for a certain reward. Threshold amounts vary in countries outside of the US and Canada. The points conversion is 100-1. This means that the value of every point is $0.01. So if you have 250 points in your account, it will be worth $2.50 (though this amount may vary if you are outside the USA).

Members who choose to redeem their earnings by PayPal or for an e-gift certificate, often receive their payments instantaneously, or within a few hours. Physical gift cards usually take approximately 2 weeks for processing and mailing.

Cash out quick and often

September 7, 2017 by Michelle from Australia

PROS: fast cash reasonably frequently
It took me a while to get into this site and wow do I wish I had started a long time ago. What I think makes a big difference is that you can cash out from as little as $10, which is 500 points. Surveys can really vary in points, anywhere from 50 per survey to 500 per survey. I took a really long survey once that was 500 points, that meant that one survey was worth $10 on its own. I don't expect that to happen too often unfortunately!
Another area where opinionworld stands out is how fast the payout is. I only ever get 500 points = $10 deposited to my paypal account, so I can't comment on other types of payout. But paypal takes one day. Not even a business day. Often I will redeem on a Saturday and the money is in my account on Sunday. I find that truly exceptional as I would only expect it to process on a business day.
There are normally plenty of surveys to fill out, but I would say I am just a semi-casual visitor to the site i.e. not hours a day. Regardless I have made about $40 from just a fairly reasonable amount of effort over the past few months. I know that if I had visited more regularly I would have been able to make a lot more.

Trash. Account was terminated as soon as I tried to redeem

August 27, 2017 by Dan from New Zealand

Was going fine. Earned the minimum amount then attempted to redeem with PayPal. After confirming login with PayPal I was sent back to their site but was logged out. Logged back in, account was terminated. No idea why. No reply to "support" emails.

Don't bother with any of the survey sites associated with SSI ltd, seems to be a common theme among their products.

0.5 out of 5.0 is too generous. It should be ZERO stars.

Colgate trial - no follow up

August 3, 2017 by Pam from United States

No information about follow up for the survey, no record of email addresses, they can't find the trial or survey.

time waster

July 30, 2017 by robert from Australia

the majority of reviews are correct people complete waste of time.. get 90% through a survey only to get told survey answers are full. they get the answers they need then tell you something like this to terminate the survey without points.. another one just stopped working 80% of the way through and i had to stop it myself.....after 40 mins of filling out the bloody thing... stay away

Great Website!

July 18, 2017 by Lauren from Australia

I'm very surprised at the differing reviews that Opinion World has. Perhaps it varies by country, I'm not sure. I've earned $40 this week alone and am halfway to my next $10 in no time at all. They have been extremely efficient in paying me and I always receive my pay within 24 hours, even on weekends. Rewards are quick and easy to collect; surveys are between 60-80 points each most commonly, however I have had surveys before that grant even 150-200 points. It takes 500 points to get $10, so rewards stack up quite quickly.

I'm very grateful to this survey website as it has been the only one I've used (and I've used quite a few) providing genuine and fast rewards. It's a shame to see that people aren't having a similar experience but again this can depend on the country you are in, and your details/the types of surveys, perhaps. As for customer service, I have not had to contact them per date so I do not have experience with them in that area. I am very happy with my Opinion World experience.
