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.

Survey Lengths

Surveys vary in length, however most surveys take between 10-15 minutes to complete. You can expect to receive paid surveys in your inbox anywhere from once a week to once a month, depending on your demographic profile.

In order to receive more surveys and more relevant surveys, it's highly encouraged to complete the My Profile section in your account with OpinionWorld.

Dec 22--My email provider did it again and sent a survey from opinion world to my spam folder. I marked it as "not spam" when I found it in my spam folder but my acct. with opinion world has already been deactivated. I emailed them and got a canned response they are out until after the holidays.
I have no idea why my email provide does this now and then. This has happened 3 times in the last 5 years and the first time all emails went to spam, even those from family and friends. I had to go through the BBB to get my accts reactivated so if this happens to you you can go through BBB to get your acct. activated to cash out your points.

Opinion world is sending me surveys often but rarely do they offer points but just entries into drawings. My time is worth more than just entries into something I never win. Then if they do offer points I never qualify. Survey spot is owned by the same company and they were giving points for their surveys they have also started offering drawing entries on more surveys and a lot less surveys offer points.

It is now Nov 2019--A few years ago opinion world did terminate my membership but after filing complaints they reinstated me but my points were less. The site has been working good until this week when I click on a survey and get an error page. I contacted them and got a quick response saying use google chrome or firefox which I do and still get errors. I cannot access the survey using IE either so I believe something is wrong on their side. I did recently cash out and received my reward in a few days. I have never been terminated for cashing out.

My personal experience - You will waste so much of your precious time it's not worth it.

Here's how it works. You're emailed surveys every week to complete. The smart thing they do is include many 'dummy answers' which if you select, then you're redirected to "you do not qualify for this survey". This can happen anytime in the survey but they STILL GET YOUR DATA.

Initially, the first few surveys were successful, as you do more they increasingly make it unsuccessful to complete.

You need to get 1000 points to get a mere £15/150HKD. Each survey gives you 10-50 points on average. On average you'll complete 2/15 surveys they give you. You'll spend way more time doing them than the reward deems worth it.

Finally, actually redeeming the small reward is NOT GUARANTEED!

Please save your precious time and AVOID OPINIONWORLD.

Absolutely crushed this didn’t work out :( the best surveys I’ve come across and paid well. I earned $10 the first weekend I signed up and they paid me in 24hrs! Amazing. Second round done and hit the claim button and BAM I’m terminated. They wouldn’t answer my calls or emails. Absolutely bummed this didn’t work out.

This site cancelled my account the instant i tried to claim my first reward (the instant i clicked the link to claim a $20 gift voucher the program took me to a link saying my account was terminated). I use 2 other survey sites for 3 years and never had this problem. They also made up lies claiming i had a second account and had dishonest account information when i complained by email. This site is dodgy as hell.

Terrible Company

As majority of the other reviewers have already stated, OpinionWorld will terminate your account when you try and withdraw your rewards.

Despite contacting them, they were unable to provide evidence to support the termination. However, they would would still not reinstate my account.
