I get very few survey offers but those that I receive are generally short and mainly to qualify for an upcoming survey. A small compensation is given on most. Overall I haven’t really received enough to give an honest opinion.
13. ACOP $67.00 ($4 minimum cash out) (joined: may 2008) ($67 rec’d)
American Consumer Opinion panel, or ACOP, is definitely one of the Top 20 paid online survey companies. They send between one and three surveys per month at most and they are generally for $4 (up to $50 for an interactive survey) for a 10 to 20 minute survey.
You are now able to check your total earnings on their website and redeem your earnings as soon as $4 has been accumulated. Their checks always arrive promptly within four weeks.
They also sport the Better Business Bureau logo on their website, which is a good thing to look for on any survey company website. Any problems can be quickly resolved with an email to: aparks@acop.com
As noted frequently in reviews above, the primary complaint is that ACOP simply does not send out enough surveys, but the ones they do send are short, easy to complete and adequately compensated.
I find this to be a wonderful sight for finding on line surveys and with a helpful costomer care
I would definitely say that American Consumer Opinion Panel (ACOP) is one of the topmost paying legitimate Survey Companies.
I became a member of American Consumer Opinion Panel(ACOP) since May, 2008 and have so far earned $154 from them. They send surveys through emails, and they pay through Checks.
Before sending out the actual survey they send out a Screener Questionaire first, and those who qualify that will receive the actual survey within a day or two.
They offer $4 to $50 as a reward for each surveys we successfully complete. They send out Checks for each survey individually, once the survey is closed, which may take upto 4-6 weeks.
They send us great surveys including Interactive Surveys as well as being a part of Online Discussion Forums. But, we are eligible to take their surveys only if we qualify the Screener Questionaire.
Even they send us surveys which result in evaluation of a Product, which can continue for several weeks, and for evaluating the product we get paid generously.
I would definitely recommend this Survey panel to everybody.
I have only received pre-screen surveys and have begun to suspect that they are using the pre-screen excuse to use your answers without compensation. I signed up approximately 6 mos. ago and have had 4 pre-screen surveys, therefore I rated timeliness of payment as average even though I haven’t received any.
I cannot rate this company in most areas because I have nothing to base the ratings on – therefore I gave them 5’s.
In the nearly three months since I joined I have received 1 survey invitation which I didn’t qualify for, 1 that I received only a sweepstake entry for, and 2 rather long “screeners” with no compensation.
I would not recommend this site. Others seem to have had better luck.

I’ve been a panelist of ACOP over 3 months and so far have pre- qualified and completed 1 survey. They credited me within a couple weeks which is better than average for surveys that don’t instantly get credited to your account.
Now if only the frequency of surveys would pick up I could increase that rating.
Update 6/28/2009
I took another pre-screener and qualified for another ACOP survey. Took it and was credited within 10 business days for $4. I upped their FOS rating to 4 from my last review.
Seems like I had a slow start with them but maybe that’s done. Now let’s see if 2 pre-screeners a month can be reached.
As always time will tell if a site is worth staying with. Most of my other sites have shown it so far. This one seems to be heading that way.
ACOP is a good company. I have not had any problems with them. I have received product samples for testing and compensation. I like the way their website is designed. It is nice to see your history with the company. Payments are made in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to this panel. Surveys may not be as frequent, however, I have qualified for most of them.
I’ve been doing this for over 6 months and its nothing I want to do anymore. They send more screener surveys than real ones. I feel like I’m taken advantage of. I think I should get paid for doing the same survey twice or doing a “follow up” on a survey I already took. Looks like they’re getting ALL the benefits.
American Consumer Opinion is a fair survey site. The quality of the surveys is understandable and kind of long. The frequency of surveys is average. But you get probably 1 survey per week maybe 2 the most. Timeliness of payment I do not know because I never cashout before (thats why I put the 5-average and member area and support). I never contacted them so I do not know if their support system is good or not. But I guess it is. The website itself needs customization because it looks like a scam website even though it’s not. I recommend the site to anyone and give it a try.
These guys are respectful, pay reasonable awards, and are honest up front about the time you will spend. I’ve never had a bad experience in five years. If you qualify for and complete a specific sort of survey, they’ll contact you again.
If you’ve got time to waste, American Consumer Opinion will provide a diversion and occasionally indirectly buy you a 12 of Sam Adams.
I’ve been a member for a year and a half and have only gotten eight invitations. They are all to the same surveys and are screener questions. I have never gotten to complete a survey for this site. I emailed customer service once and it took them a week to reply. Not a fan of this site at all.
