Very nice survey site, pays well, and the surveys are not too long and enjoyable! Only drawback, not enough surveys sent.
Customer service is responsive,

There are some good surveys, some not so great. The points are not always easy to get, although you think they would be with a fifty point cashout
Admin, however, is very quick to respond to questions/comments. Overall, this is not one of my fave sites.

For me, I have am having a little difficulty with this one. Although I have heard great things from people advertising this one, I, myself have not received many surveys from the company. I would say that 1 a week is pushing it. The way this one works is, you get points to complete surveys and can turn that into cash. The surveys are a little lengthy in my opinion…but to each their own. I would love the opportunity to receive more surveys (not sure if this is based on demographics). For the few that I have done, I noticed that in some cases points credited quickly, but on another instance…I didn’t get my points for over a month. Some of these have follow up surveys, so it may take longer. I think this is a great company with great potential, however….I think that if there were more opportunities available, with higher point values…I would be able to put it on my “top list”. As of now, I really haven’t accumulated enough points to buy an extra value meal at Mcdonalds. I don’t want to discourage people from joining, because they are legit…however, for me, I haven’t received enough opportunity. On a side note, make sure you stay active during 3 month periods or all points will be lost!

I enjoy the website and layout, however, I do wish there were more surveys!!! The crediting is fast but definitely need more to work on to make it a truly profitable site.

I do not reccommend this survey company.
I have only received 2 surveys in the year i have been a member, and customer service is horrible, they take forever to respond.
I have alot of trouble getting on their site as well.
I do not recommnd this survey company.

Surveys don’t come nearly often enough, but they are pretty well compensated. And with the 5 dollar minimum cashout, just two or three surveys is enough to get your check (which arrives in about 4 weeks). Lowest minimum of any site I’ve seen.

This is one of my favorites.
Good payment, not too long.
only drawback is the frequency.

Although I have not received many suveys from this particular site, I rated it high because the surveys I have received have seemed easy to qualify. The amount of compensation received seems to be right online with the length of the survey. I dont have to answer 20 questions before I’m told that I do not qualify. The admin is very quick to answer questions and work on fixing problems. I find that quite refreshing as many of the others sites you often do not even hear from the admin in response to questions/problems. I have not yet reached payout for this site so I am unable to rate them probably on this regard.

I have to be against this one. While I’ve never used the “member area or support” or have ever received payment (this is why I had to go in the middle on those, as I cannot say one way or the other), the surveys are few and far between. Some weeks you get 2 or 3, then for weeks nothing. Also, I have YET to qualify for a survey!! I have tried COUNTLESS times (always giving the benefit of the doubt) to qualify, but have yet to do so!! I’m very disappointed with this one!

I really like this site. I have qualified for 4 out of the last 10 surveys they sent. They were easy to do and not too long. I probably only get about 2 invites a week on average. I have yet to request a check from them so I can’t comment on their timeliness. I have to say this is my favorite site. You only need to have 50pts to request a check which is very easy to do only 1-2 surveys and you will make that.

It is quite good!
October 10th, 2007
Opinion Outpost is a fun site. It pays well but the frequency of surveys is disappointing. Also, for some reason or another I don’t qualify for most of the surveys I attempt. Member support has been good and timeliness of payment has been above average.

I like this site mostly for the fact that they`re the first one I ever got a check from. You don`t get a whole lot of invites and you don`t qualify a lot. But when you do get past the first 50 points they send you a check right out. I had a rash of three or four good ones in about a week and I got a nice little check in the mail right now. I keep hearing that there are much better sites out thee though.

I’m very mixed on this one. Part of me wants to stay with as I have cashed out once and am close to having a worthwile amount to do so again. On the other hand, I look at the fact I’ve only been able to complete about 20% of the surveys I’ve been sent - and wonder.
I once contacted support and it was not a bad experience, but it never solved my problem, and I wasn’t given any follow up, etc, except “wait and see if it’s corrected later” bah.
They do pay out quickly (points put in as soon as you’re done - assuming no glitches…), and the cash out check arrived faster than the standard “wait a month”.

the fastest payment 2 weeks!!!!
high standards getting harder to qualify for surveys

Been a member for 4 months and have only had 1 survey..Because I never qualify….????????

i waited a long time to get a survey form them know i get some and i usually don’t get them they have an amout of people they want then close the survey sandy from canada

This is the only site I have found to actually pay money and not waste time with drawings etc. I like it. It would be better of course if the frequency of surveys was more frequent and steady. Good Overall.

I have been with this company for 13 months. Over this time, I have been offered 98 surveys, so an average of 8 surveys a month. I have qualified for 20 of them. 27 of the surveys were closed before I could qualify or not, so if I would have acted faster, I may have made more. This has yielded me about $40. Not a lot of money, but for 20 surveys, not horrible.
The surveys all seem to be adequately compensated for the time invested. The surveys are always interesting and easy to maneuver through.
You can request payments after you have just $10 in your account. They pay by check usually within 45 days. Their member support is helpful and friendly.
I really like this survey company and would recommend them to anyone.

Opinion Outpost surveys are interesting and fun to complete, if you qualify.

” Let Me Dispatch All The Opinion OutPost Bashing” I have been a member for 4 1/2 months now. Pleas this “IS” the #1 paid website.First suvery $8.00, & there Check is Real!! This is the only Survey site that shows Survey History & Reward History. I Rate this site 5 Star Ratings. There is only one wrong thing that they could improve on and that is ‘ Sending the Check out Faster To Your MailBox. Please Do-Not say Negative Things About This Website Please!!!

I can’t say anything nice about this site because I think I’ve only gotten 1 survey since I joined, and I didn’t even qualify for it, so I haven’t taken any surveys, nor received any compensation.
March 8th, 2008
I qualify 75% for their surveys. Small cash incentives for all surveys. Checks in the mail in about 14 days. I joined them 3 months ago and got $8.50 and $12.50

Opinion Outpost is one of my newest sites, but I have been with them for many, many months now. They are okay. Their survey invitations are sporatic and I very seldom qualify for them. But, when I do, the payment is generous. I was finally able to cash out and did so about 4 weeks ago. Still have not received payment, but their site says it takes 4-6 weeks. Compared to mysurvey.com & lightspeed, I consider their payment compensation to be slow.

Opinion Outpost was the first survey site I’ve joined, 3 months ago. I have received interesting surveys I’ve completed and already got two checks in the mail in less then 3 weeks from redeeming them. You can redeem your points into cash when you reach 5 dollars. Great survey site!

I have joined this site in Sept. 07 and have a total of 76 surveys that I have attempted to complete. I have only qualified for 11 with a total payment of $23.50. I didn’t qualify for 65 surveys, which seems crazy to me. I don’t know who they are looking for, or what they are wanting, but I find that is a huge number that I am not a match for. I continue to do the surveys because they are good surveys, I just wish that I qualified for more.
May 28th, 2008
This is one of the better ones. I get several surveys per week, qualifying for about half of them. Compensation per survey is great, better than most companies. A keeper for me.
June 9th, 2008
have been doing opinion outpost surveys for several months. i receive about 3 surveys invites per day but only qualify for about 1. the pay is good. just received my first check. took about 4 weeks to get. good company.

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
June 15th, 2008
I have been a member for more than a year now and recieve many invites a month.I may not qualify with all but between the many invites and very good compensation,I would suggest this site as one of the best
June 20th, 2008
I think this is a wonderful survey site. The surveys pay very well and are interesting too. I have been a member for about 2 months, and I have qualified for 6 or 7 surveys. The surveys also pay very well, on average $7. The only thing is that the checks come in 6-8 weeks, wich is a long time. Overall I think this is a great site.
