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.

*REVISED TO 1 STAR*Pretty new member, have already cashed out

November 1, 2013 by si from United States

*REVISED Cashed out two more times after writing the original review. Now they offer NOTHING for LONG surveys (I mean do you know someone who ever won the sweepstakes)*

They do not have a great lot of surveys. That is the half star off.

I definitely prefer fewer and better paid surveys to portal á la toluna or ipsos.

The surveys pay well and you can cash out already for 5 dollar amazon gifts. Which is like 5 surveys. They also offer paypal which I like a lot.

I read that some people mention they do not receive invites.

I do not either. I just log in and check if there are any (;

Click on "take a survey" even if there are none listed in your "my surveys" box.

It seems to use the same payout method as opinion outpost and surveyspot. That means instant and reliable cash out.

I recommend it.

Don't waste your time!

October 10, 2013 by Mimi from United States

I Have been trying to tell them for a few months now that their login in is not working for me. I got bitter emails saying that there is nothing wrong with my login and that they couldn't understand why I was having problems. I asked if I could change my password and more bitterness came saying that there was no reason. I was able to take surveys through the emails sent, but if I tried to login it repeats "please try again." Very upsetting and no help! Do not waste your time!!

Not the best

September 5, 2013 by Michele from United States

Have been with them for a few months and the only surveys I ever get are for 1 prize drawing - I don't bother doing these as I'd like some kind of compensation for my time, a prize draw entry is pretty much useless.

Mainly prize draws

July 21, 2013 by Robert from United Kingdom

95% of the surveys appear to be prize draws which you have little to no chance of winning. The odd one offers some points but not much for the length of time each survey takes.

Can't say I would recommend this site at all.
