One of my favorite survey site is Opinion Outpost. I have been a member here since April, 2008 and before even 10 months have passed I have earned a whopping amount of $314.60.
Opinion Outpost have great customer service, great survey quality, great frequency of surveys, great compensation amount and everything so great. I have done many interactive surveys through them and had been members of some high paying online discussion forums through them including the one I did last year which paid me $175.
Even in this current state of economy, Opinion Outpost have been diligently offering me at least 2-5 surveys a week, and sometimes even more.
They always compensate and pay for each surveys they send through email. Further, their payment type is through checks, which is also great.
So, I strongly recommend anybody who is not yet a member of Opinion Outpost to become a member very soon and take opportunity of their paying surveys and keep earning. This is really a great legitimate site.
I’ve been a member since December of last year and have alread earned $50 with this panel.
This site provides quality surveys and good rewards for them. Also, it provides something that other sites can’t dare to boast; actual payment for every survey.
Got surveys but never qualified so I quit them, don’t have time to waste when I never qualify
Easy to use and understand their site. It’s hard to qualify into survey in my experience, though. But their compensation is fair and they pay fairly quickly.
this site kicks *ss!! about 5 surveys a week. i live in las vegas nevada, so the checks from utah arrive much quicker than they say. cashing dere chex is a breeze!!
This is an excellent site. The surveys come very frequently and the pay is very good. This is an awesome survey site.
Its weird because i get about 4 surveys a week and everyone says they dont get alot. I just joind like 2 weeks ago and I have 22 dollars. And i dont do it every day. But i think Its a great Site! I just want to know if anyone knows ”
When u request a check do they take a fee out of it?”
You have to fill out your profiles in order to receive surveys. Also, I hadn’t received a survey for some time, and I called their 800 number (spoke to a LIVE HUMAN BEING!), and was told that it appeared someone else had signed up for an account in my house, which violates the terms of condition. In fact, my husband had signed up. We terminated his account, and I started receiving surveys again within a couple of days! I couldn’t say better things about this survey company, they are top notch! One complaint, they sent me a check without a signature on it, which my bank wouldn’t accept, but when I called, again speaking to a nice lady, they promised that they would re-send me a check within two weeks! Fingers crossed, but I have faith.
It is easy to earn money quickly with Opinion Outpost, which is why I stay. I have been a member for a couple years, and have always been paid. The downsides… most of their surveys are hosted through OTX, which I HATE! They don’t pay very well, when you average how many points you get for what are, often, very long surveys. The worst part, however, is that they have WAY too many technical difficulties, which result in your not getting paid. I have, also, been told I wouldn’t be paid for a survey that I spent over 30 minutes working on, “because I took too long”! I can see them penalizing those who rush through surveys and don’t complete them accurately, but I think spending a longer time would show them that I was being careful, to provide them the most accurate answers possible. Anyway, their support for panelists is terrible, and they don’t mind at all if you spend a great deal of time and don’t get paid, because they’re getting paid regardless.
I have been with opinion outpost for a few months now and think they pay the best out of all the survey companies. I have qualified for about half of the surveys sent.
it took me a little time to figure out how to get to the surveys but when i did i started putting the surveys away
This survey site sends frequent survey opportunities. I have had a fairly high percentage of surveys that I have been able to complete. Compensation for surveys through Opinion Outpost is very good, usually about $2 per survey.
When I requested a payout of $28 after about two months I received a check three days later! I requested a check from another company on the same day, and still haven’t received it (it’s been two months). This is my favorite of all of the sites I have visited (about 10).
Opinion Outpost is the best points survey panel and one of the best panels overall
Below I will rate Opinion Outpost on several very important elements that make a great survey panel.
Layout of webpage:Their account section is very good will a full report on all the surveys you attempted. Finding the FAQs and a contact form is very easy just like attempting to qualify for one of their surveys.
Customer Service:I have contacted them three times in the past and their respond is fast. Usually with in a day or two.
Reward System:Their Opinion Points system is a very efficient way of making money. Some surveys are have a very high time over reward ratio meaning the time is low, reward is high.But other surveys have a fair to moderate ratio. It all depends on who is hosting the survey.
Redeeming Rewards:You can redeem cash when you have 50 points in you account, which is really easy to do. The check have about three to five weeks for delivery. I kind that normal for most survey panels. If they had Pay Pal, then this # would been higher.
Overall:If you haven’t all ready joined this panel then you are missing on a lot of cash.
This is a great company! I have been a member for only4 or 5 months and I have made almost $200.00. Surveys vary in points, anywhere from 20 points to 100 points. Twenty points is equal to $2.00. 100 points is equal to $10.00. When you request a check, it comes promptly. Never have had a problem with them. A great survey company.
You’re not going to earn a living off of this, but this is still the best survey site that I belong to. The customer service is particularly good. I answer everything honestly and do not qualify for a good chunk of the invitations. However, when I do, there are few glitches, I get credited in a timely manner and I always get paid. The only negative thing I have to say about them is their tacky Western theme to their website.
One of the honest survey sites that does pay,checks are mailed out once you gave obtained the 5 dollar mark, or 50 points.Surveys are from many different random corporations and often times an opportunity may come up for a product test.I have made just a little over a 150.00 within a years time. Very reliable and checks are legal and legit. What s it going to hurt to try? Nothing but money you could be making.Sign up today!!
so far, i’ll rate this site as a 5 since i only recently joined. not so thrilled so far though. despite the fact that i got 2 invitations already to participate in surveys, i did not qualify for either. and i didn’t find that out until i wasted time filling most of the survey out. they should tell you upfront if you don’t qualify. they shouldn’t waste people’s time. i realize that you can be dismissed during a survey if you rush, etc…but that was not the case for either time for me.
not impressed so far…but i’ll check back. maybe i’ll just not the type of person they are looking for at the moment.
frequent surveys, good profiles, payments are very good in relation to other sies
i have now been a member of Opinion Outpost for a little over two weeks, and i have to say that i am really happy with them. at first, i didn’t seem to qualify for many surveys, but quickly, i started to get a few that i qualified for…and i am quite happy now! the surveys can be long at times, but they are interesting and engaging. so far, i’ve made a little over $10. as others have said, their website isn’t the best, so you may be put off at first and not want to join. but it is indeed a great site and worth checking out. actually, i signed up for two other survey panels before this one and i am not impressed at all with them thus far…so that is telling you something!
I wish i can qualify for more surveys. I like there site. Like to have more surveys . Very good site to sign up.
I have been apart of this panel for only about 2 months and have already made about $30!!! The surveys are all very reasonable in length and pay between $1-$5 each. The frequency of the surveys are pretty good, they average about 2 per day. The speed of payment is hands down the best of any survey site I have joined. Your check requests are processed and shipped in about 3 days and you have a check in hand in less then 2 weeks. This site is quickly becoming my favorite!!
Opinion Outpost has its pros and cons. If you’re willing to put up with them not paying for many completed surveys (claiming at the end that the survey is closed), therefore you’re willing to do many free surveys for them, you can earn some money. There are always surveys available, and they do pay quickly, but their support is TERRIBLE. I don’t see how they can continue to get away with ***EDIT*** long-term members out of payment for completed surveys.
The previous comments above I find to be true they are the quickest paying of all of them but they do have there down falls like the one stated above,being bumped out after you’ve been doing a survey for 30 to 40 minutes,very frustrasting
I was only with this panel for maybe 3 weeks until I unsubscribed. The surveys were alright and I received them often but I never qualified for any of them. I would get a few questions in and it would kick me out. I even took a survey where you could do continuous surveys until you qualified and I didn’t qualify!! It woudn’t be so bad if I still got some points for them . When you don’t qualify you have the choice of either entering in the sweepstakes, donating 0.10$ to a charity or seeing if you instantly win $50. Not Interested. I’m doing this to get awarded for the survey’s I take and earn cash. There are other panels I’m a member of that are more worth my time.
This is one of my favorite online survey site. The compensation paid for each survey is awesome. I love to take surveys in opinion outpost, even though I don’t qualify for most of the surveys but the ones I qualify I enjoy to take those.
I have only been a member for about a month, but have already had over $18 credited to my account, that is alot considering some of the other survey companies. I have been screened out of alot but also accepted by about 1/3 or 1/4 of the surveys. So far I am regretting that I didn’t find this site earlier as I have been taking surveys for a long time and this has had the most rewards so far.
