Opinion Outpost Information
Opinion Outpost is a survey research panel that is provided by Western Wats, a survey research data collection company based in Utah. The Opinion Outpost website has a western theme, but trust me their market research has nothing to do with that. They work with marketing research companies from all over the world as well as many Fortune 500 companies. The Opinion Outpost market research panel accepts members 18 and older from the US and Canada.
Membership to their panel is free, and they offer points redeemable for cash for members that participate and complete their online survey studies. In addition members that attempt a survey study but do not complete it can participate in their choice of an instant win or sweepstakes game.
How to Earn Money with Opinion Outpost
- Get started by completing the online registration process.
- Then be sure to login to the members area and complete the profile surveys. The more
profiles you complete, the more survey invites you are likely to receive. - After joining you can find information on current studies by checking your email for survey invitations, and by logging into the Opinion Outpost member’s area and clicking on the Available Surveys link. Each survey link will indicate the number of reward points you can earn. It can take up to one month to start receiving survey initiations, so be patient!
- Then just complete surveys and earn points. Most surveys pay anywhere from 10 points to 100 points. If you do not qualify for the survey study, you usually still get a chance to participate in one of several instant win or sweepstakes games in exchange for your effort.
Payment Terms US and Canada
- 10 Opinion Points = $1.00 and you must accumulate a minimum of 50 Opinion Points ($5.00) to request your cash reward.
- Payments are sent via a Check and can take up to 4-6 weeks from the date of redemption for your check to arrive.
- Stay Active on the panel! You must take at least one survey every 3 months or your Opinion Points will expire. So if you plan on not taking surveys for a while, be sure to redeem your point first.
Payment Terms United Kingdom
- 20 Opinion Points = £1 and you must accumulate a minimum of 100 Opinion Points (£5) to request your cash reward.
- Payments are sent via a PayPal.
- Stay Active on the panel! You must take at least one survey every 3 months or your Opinion Points will expire. So if you plan on not taking surveys for a while, be sure to redeem your points first.
Conclusion
Opinion Outpost conducts a lot of survey studies though are other online survey panels, so it is not uncommon to get redirected several times when doing their surveys. This allows them to have many survey opportunities for their members which makes it rather easy to reach the minimum payout threshold.

Don't recommend
I get a lot of suveys from this site, however I do not qualify for any. I tried for months to qualify but I just don’t understand what they are looking for. I don’t bother wasting my time, just click delete when I see an email…..
ONE OF THE BEST SITES
This is one of my favorite survey sites. Presently, I receive from 3-5 invitations a week. I do admit that some of their surveys are too long, but the rewards accumulate so fast, I try to complete most ot them and lately after requesting payment I’ve been receiving my check within 2 weeks. . If you get tired before completing your survey you can stop and continue later as long as the survey is open. I have earned as much as $35 a month sometimes a little more.. The only thing I don’t like is being redirected to another survey company, usually OTX, which I don’t particularly like, for some reason.
OTX has tons of open surveys they offer and sometimes it may take you 20-30 mins to get one that you qualify for. Usually, after trying a few, I just delete it.. With all that, I still think this is one of the better survey sites.
Recommended
Opinion outpost has been one of my favorites. I receive about 5 – 10 surveys a week for which I qualify for about a third of them, the quality is usually pretty good, and the rewards are good, too. The pay out is fast as well: I usually receive a check within 2 – 3 weeks. However, they do host quite a lot of OTX surveys and these should be avoided: with these you never get rewarded for your work. I usually delete these right away to avoid wasting my time on them.
They Don't Want Me, Apparently
I left Opinon Outpost sometime in 2008 after they left me. It had been a favorite, but suddenly the invites disappeared and when I asked member support what was going on I thought their answer was pretty insulting so I left. However, I decided to re-join them in 2009 to see if anything had changed. Well, nothing changed for me. I have received absolutely zero invites for the past nine to ten months. So it is difficult to rate any aspect of the site since I have yet to receive a survey invite. However, it is difficult to say why I am not getting any invites since all Opinion Outpost will say is my demographics have not met their needs. Curiously, my demographic is much desired on other survey sites. So, I have nothing good to say about Opinion Outpost.
Easy, $$, hard to qualify
been with OO for a couple months now and I’ve had an overall positive experience. usually receive 2 – 5 survey opportunities per week. qualifying is not very consistent, but such is the nature of the survey beast. rewards are quick and easy with the ability to redeem points toward an instant balance on Amazon.com – instant gratification is appreciated.
refer a friend feature is also nice. $2 if someone signs up under your account and completes one survey.
Amazing and beyond
I joined MANY survey sites and this is actually my top one! They send me atleast 1-3 survey invites a day and I usually qualify. Whereas, alot of OTHER survey sites will drag me halfway through their surveys just to tell me (when I’m about 90% finished) that I do not qualify…
If I don’t qualify for a survey on Opinion Outpost, they tell me right away (but like I said, I usually qualify). Also, this site def. pays the most for each survey, and the best part is right after you take the survey, you can look at your “Rewards” and it lists your new balance of points. Other survey sites make me wait for atleast 2-7 days for my point balance to change to the correct new amount. And sometimes, these other survey sites don’t even give me my points for specific surveys-but Opinion Outpost has never made a mistake.
The only site I still trust.
I always get several surveys a week from Opinion Outpost, sometimes several in a day. When I complete a survey I am either paid immediately if it is their survey, or as soon as they receive notification I have completed a survey to which they referred me. I have never requested a check from them, which is an available payment option, but prefer to redeem my survey points at Amazon. It is not a lot of money, but keep taking those surveys and it adds up. If you really want to make a lot money, your first step should be to turn off the computer and go to work. But you knew that.
I love this site
I received my checks within two weeks after I request them.
Third Best Survey Panel!
3. Opinion Outpost $381.80 ($5 cash out) (Joined: 2008-02-04) ($381.80 rec’d)
Opinion Outpost is my third best paying survey panel. Out of 571 surveys over the past two years I have qualified for 168, ranging in points from 5 ($0.50) to 100 ($10). Other surveys have either said I was ‘Not a Match’, ‘Quota Met’ or ‘Closed’ (indicating that I did not click on the email invitation soon enough), which is why I frequently check their website for unfinished surveys. Incentives are paid by checks, which arrive in about four to six weeks.
Opinion Points equal $0.10 each, or 10 to a $1, and they are credited to your account within minutes. I have never had to email customer support even once to inquire about uncredited points and they have an excellent survey history section on the website, which gives the exact reason why you may not have qualified. If you do have a question, just click on the Members section and use the Feedback tab for help. To remain an active member take at least one (1) survey every three (3) months.
Profiles, profiles, profiles - fill them out!
I have to admit that I almost dropped this panel – after about two months with the company I was only receiving one or two invites a week, and never qualifying for any of them. When I finally logged in with the intention of deleting my account, I realized I had made a fatal error – apparently I had only filled out two of the profile surveys! Since Opinion Outpost in general gets very positive reviews, I went ahead and filled out the remainder of my profiles and waited to see what happened.
Boy, am I glad I did! Within that next month, I earned (and cashed) out over $11! While I still only get a handful of surveys a week, I have to say that I think Opinion Outpost does one of the best jobs of targeting relevant surveys to me – now that I have my profiles complete, that is.
The survey incentives are almost always well worth the time spent, and I’ve never had any technical issues with the site. Hands down, one of the better ones out there!
ONE OF THE BEST
Opinion Outpost is one of the best survey sites that there is. May not qualify for all surveys, but when you do qualify, you have a streak. I have made over $500.00 since joining in January 2009. When I cash out, I automatically receive my code for redemption through Amazon. I just don’t understand why other companies take so long to process their requests. Again, it is one of the best survey sites available.
WONDERFUL
Opinion Outpost is one of the BEST survey companies that I have ran across. I have received up to 7 or 8 survey requests in one day. Don’t always qualify, but that is par for the course. I love the way they allow you to receive Amazon GC’s or paypal. Redemption codes for Amazon GC’s are immediate. I don’t have to wait several weeks to receive my code. They are instantaneous! Never had a problem with them at all! I love the way rewards are credited immediately upon completion of each survey. Since I join them, I have earned close to $300.00 in Amazon GCs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Opinion Outpost!
One of the top paid survey sites
At first I wasn’t too happy with this site because I wasn’t qualifiying for hardly any surveys, but after about a month things started to pick up a bit. I have cashed out $8.50 so far and recieved my check in just 1 week. Since then,I now have over $27 in my account! I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to make a little extra cash.
Recommend
I have had a great experience with this site. I did over $46 worth of surveys last month and I’m going to be up around $50 this month. I usually do at least a survey a day, sometimes more some times less. Some surveys I get screened out of because I’m not what they are looking for, but its always within the first couple pages so I’m never out any significant amount of time. This is one of the best sites with the highest payouts.
Best by Far
Opinion Outpost is excellent. I’ve been a member for three years and have enjoyed participating in surveys and having the opportunity to provide my input on important initiatives. Opinion Outpost has great panelist support and is quick and responsive. The reward options are great and I like receiving cash rewards. Most panel companies have gimmicks for rewards. They enter you into sweepstakes you have no chance of winning or give you prizes you can’t use.
Absolutely Love Opinion Outpost
I have been a member, by accident actually. I began experiment with the web and apparently I signed up for Opinion outpost almost 3 months ago. Because I did ot want Spam I used my traditional free email account. One day I decided to go directly to Opinion Outpost website to find that I was indeed a member and lost out of like 30 opportunities to have done surveys in a matter of a month. Well I did one 2 months ago, and it has been quite enjoyable. After doing like 3 surveys and watching my acct balance rise to $57. I began researching the legitimacy of the company. To find nothing but great reviews. So in a matter of 2 months I have received around $130.00 Apparently from what I read above I have the good criterias. I get anywhere from 3-5 survey opportunities per day, at times I wish there were more…LOL. I have to admit that after scouring the internet, I do not see any other company that would compare or match up to Opinion outpost. By the way, when I request my checks I get them 4-5 days tops..would be nice if they would offer PayPal, but I cannot complain.
They are doing such a great job that I just referred a dear friend last week, so I will be happy to report that soon I will get the referral incentive. I guess I can respond to the several negative responses above that the key to be successful is that a prompt reply to the opportunities is necessary. I have had times when I get the email and just 15 minutes later the quotas were capped. But I do not get disappointed as they are doing a great job at all areas of what they do.
So thumbs up from me for Opinion Outpost!
The overall surveys are even easy for me to understand,and I never knew what and ,jhow interesting these surveys
did not pay for surveys I completed
I kept my own records of surveys that I took with this company and found that they were leaving out many of them in my survey history. When I questioned them about it, they had nothing to say.
The Best Stie Ever
I just love Opinion Outpost I have cashed out many times and the survey invites are good some of them are of OTX and Its always the same survey and you really never qualify for them and if your on another site the same surveys from OTX will be sent to you ,so I dont know why they teamed up with them, I still have the same 2 surveys and I refuse to take them I guess they will just be sitting there in my Opinion Outpost surveys. Im up to $90.00 and Im going to keep on going and not cash out at this time. And also you get to try things in the mail they send you to test .They send it UPS like ice cream,butter,Juices etc They send you things that you do a survey on so that is good its not like you took a long survey and didnt get anything you get the points and to test a product ,then you just send in your review and its all good . Love this site Cash Out is very Good .Dont complain about things that you cannot change its a free site and its up to you if you want to stick with them or not. Some people want something for nothing and you have to sometimes put in some work to get something back in return.No one said that it was going to be easy. For the ones here that didnt have a good experience with Opinion OutPost well then you should try other sites that really wont pay like this one does. Or better yet Go And get you a real job because all of these surveys sites will not pay your bills its just something for us to do so that we dont get bored on Our Computers .What would we do without Computers and the Internet? Umm I just had to ask.
new user - very happy!
I recently joined OO. I get a few surveys a day. I don’t qualify for all of them, but like others say, they don’t waste your time – they let you know right away. I earned $5.00 in one week. PLUS (here’s the best part!), I just won the instant win game when I screened out of a survey! $50.00 is on its way to me as I write this! I assumed the sweepstakes and instant win were a hoax, but I was wrong. Sign up, you’ll be glad you did!
I am a recent new member of this survey site. After a month I did not qualify for any of the surveys and was ready to drop it . I decided to try a bit longer and started to qualify for surveys. I have now received my first check ( it came in a very short time after applying for it) and am receiving survey invitations almost daily. I like the surveys and love getting so many chances to do them. The rewards are larger than most other sites. I really like requesting a cash reward and being able to receive it in only a week- exceptionally fast. I would recommend this site. Do try it a fair amount of time and be sure to fill out all the profiles – there are more than one- as you will get more surveys.
The best survey site at giving surveys but not loyal to users
This is the best survey site ive joined so far and i have joined about most of them. As a member for many months they sent me surveys almost everyday. Each survey they sent me ranged from $1 to $10. Pretty impressive for a survey site and a dream come true when wanting to make side money. I guess i made about close to 500 dollars on their site, but about a few months ago they suspended my account for unknown reasons and I was pissed. When I rejoined they didn’t send me any surveys ever. Good luck to the people who are fortunate enough to keep their accounts. Thats the only bad thing I have to say about opinionoutpost is that they are not loyal, but they do pay well and are the best survey site when it comes to giving out surveys that pay.
Love, love, LOVE Opinion Outpost!!
I think that Opinion Outpost is the absolute BEST paid survey site around!! I have recomended it to some of my friends and they have started earning extra dollars as well.
Fast payments, nice selection of payment options, and top notch customer service!!!
I wish more survey companies would model themselves after Opinion Outpost.
Great survey site
I like taking surveys from Opinion Outpost, their surveys are the best. I especially like their incentives either a cash-out or Amazon.com gift certificates.
gotta love this site
I just love this site they always send me emails and there surveys are not that long, and when they are then you know that you are going to test one of there products and they come UPS . Im up to $100.00 and Im going to keep going before I cash out. Guess what? Im waitng until Christmas so that I can get me something special. The best site that I have ever signed up with . And they never ever take your name off of there site or they dont take all of your money like a lot of other sites do . This will be my 3rd time cashing out with them . Go for this one everybody , youll be glad you did. Its Ok you all can thank me later. Chow for now
waste of time
I have been registered with this company for four weeks and have so far received on survey which I spent 10 minutes filling in before being told that ‘I wasn’t suitable’ . They also required me to fill in four profiles – so they have loads of info on me and haven’t had to pay me a cent . It seems to be a dishonest way of them getting free info on people
Highly Recommend
Opinion Outpost is my favorite. When you request a check they send it propmtly. Fair compensation. I highly recommend.
The best survey site
Out of the survey sites that I’ve had, Opinion Outpost is the best. And the staff is also the best. I always check for their surveys first before i look for anything else on my computer. I love them.
