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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Original Post: 5/23/09 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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

I've been a member here for quite some time. I noticed that I had not receieved any surveys lately, so I went to their site to log in. When I do, it tells me that my e-mail address is not in the database. The site allowed me to register again, using my old info. Even after that, it continues to tell me that my e-mail address is not in the database. I sent them a couple of e-mails, but haven't received a reply. Until now, I was satisfied with them.

Original Review 5/10/2008 I registered in March. I already had a few pre-screen surveys, I qualified and I got an envelope in the mail on how to follow a 5 days long survey with my immediate family. I liked that, it’s been an interesting family activity and the pay is about to come. 8$. I still wait for an early payment of 4 dollars that has not arrived yet. Update 11/26/2008 A few surveys, but interesting ones, when I qualify, maybe I’m too old. I have younger acquaintances who get more surveys. I have tried a few products with acop or completed journal entries. Usually I get 4 or 5$ per completed survey. Once I got a 8$ check in my mail. I recommend it heartily. Latest Update Their invitations are different as they come only to prescreen for the survey first, easy way, but if you really qualify they ask easy questions and send 4 or 8 dollars checks. Lately (15th of Dec) they have changed the rule and you accumulate points in your account. Since this happened I did not receive surveys. I had some fun with a few products I've tested at home.

I joined the American Consumer Opinion site early this year and so far have been very happy. I have tested products from dog food to body wash and have gotten small checks from them as promised. This is a good site if you like to test products and give your opinion.

Never enough surveys, about 1/mo. But the surveys are always time-considerate and payment is immediate. They seem to be changing with the types of surveys offered these days. The last couple I have received, I have to qualify. whereas in the past, I was always pre-qualified and so I always made sure to open email immediately. Now, not so much.

First Posted 6/12/2008 ONE OF MY FAVORITE SITES YOU WONT GET A LOT OF SURVEYS HERE AND THEY HAVE RECENTENTLY BENN USING OTX AS THIER SURVEY GIVER SO YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH QUALIFING. WHEN YOU DO QUALIFY FOR A SURVEY THEY ARE USUALLY VERY GOOD AND THE COMPENSATION IS VERY GOOD. I HAVE RECIEVED ABOUT $100.0 IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND I USUALLY GET A CHECK IN UNDER A MONTH I WOULD RECOMEND THIS SITE TO ANYBODY Update 10/16/2008 I HAVE BEEN AMEMBER OF THIS SITE FOR SOME TIME AND IT USED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS BUT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS SOMETHING SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED. SURVEY IBVITES ARE NOT BEING SENT OUT I JUST ANSWERED AN INVITE AND WHEN I GOT TO THE SITE I FOUND 5 OTHER SURVEYS AVAILABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES, AND LATELY I HAVE QUALIFIED MORE MAYBE ONE OUT OF SIX SURVEYS SOMETHING HAS CHANGED WITH THIS SITE AND I DONT THINK IT IS FOR THE BETTER Update 11/29/2008 A VERY GOOD SURVEY JUST GOT BETTER. THEY HAVE ALWAYS SENT ACHECK AS SOON AS A SURVEY WAS COMPLETED I ALWAYS GOT THE CHECK IN TWO TO THREE WEEKS NO MATTER WHAT THE AMOUNT WAS. NOW IN DECEMBER 2008 THEY WILL SET UP AN ACCOUNT FOR YOU AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACCUMULATE YOUR EARNINGS AND WITHDRAW THEM WHEN YOU WANT TO. THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP TWO SURVEYS OUT THERE. I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE. THE SURVEYS ARE HIGH QUALITY AND THE COMPENSATION IS ABOVE MOST. I USUALY QUALIFY FOR ABOUT ONE IN THREE SURVEYS. NOT LIKE SOME SITES THAT I HAVE DROPPED BECUASE YOU NEVER SEEM TO QUALIFY, OR THE PAYOFF IS SO POOR IT ISNT WORTH YOUR TIME.

ACO is by far, one of the best survey sites out there. I get alot of surveysfrom them, 4 a month, maybe more. The surveys are very interesting, and very easy to do, not very time consuming. Customer service is great, they respond quickly, and payments are right on time, and never a problem! If i may, i highly reccommend ACO, one of the best!!

I've been a member of ACOP for the past 12 months but I haven't received a single survey and it has been very disappointing. They say that they're open to International members but I think their targets are only from the USA, Canada and a few some other countries. So, if you're from the specified countries, it seems to be a great idea to join. If not, you can only earn cash in the affiliate program. Hope it will change again like in the old days...

They have very interesting surveys and they pay above average for each survey. However, they only send me a survey about once a month, and I qualify about half the time. It takes about 4 weeks to receive a check from them. Overall, good company, just wish they would send surveys with more frequency.

I have been a member of ACOP for 6 months, and receive a screening survey (which takes less than 5 minutes to complete and determines if you qualify for the paid survey) about once a week. I have only qualified for one survey out of all the screening surveys I have taken. The survey was extremely easy to complete (it only took me 10 minutes), and I was rewarded $4 for it -- definitely one of the best compensations that I have received for a survey given the short time it took to complete. The money came by check in about 4 weeks. This one survey opportunity that I did have was extremely positive; however, I did waste some time completing those screening questions for surveys that I ended up not qualifying for. One thing I like about ACOP is that you are automatically sent a check for every survey that you complete -- unlike most other sites, there is no "Member area" where the rewards you earn are totaled and you can request payment. You just complete a survey, and a check is mailed to you in the next few weeks. Given the easy payment process and the high quality surveys, I would recommend ACOP. However, you should be prepared to spend some time sifting through surveys that you won't qualify for.
