They waste a lot of your time. They make it very hard to redeem rewards. So called new accounts that have been created months ago can be under review for weeks after you try to redeem your rewards. Many people said that they did not even any get rewards.

Opinion outpost have spent hours and hours, it's been week and never got any money... Look like real $10.00 but realized it's only a dream with them, hey piggy and junkie - you actually get pocket change to buy drinks and snacks. I will never see anything for putting in hours answering questions. They are fake scammers.

Warn other waste of time and no money

I've been using it off and on for the past couple weeks, and once it got past the grace period of them verifying my account or whatever, it's worked just fine. Granted, like most survey-taking sites, you might have to take quite a few before you get some credit but here's just it: Opinion Outpost has a very low thresh hold for payout. It's not very hard to get to a hundred points at all. I can do it fairly idly within a week at most, typically a few days, compared to Inbox Dollars, which generally takes a month or more to get the basic denomination needed to cash out to Paypal. Now granted, a hundred points is only $10. Unless you put your nose to the grind stone, and are the perfect demographic for every other quiz you take, this probably won't amount to much of a side hustle, but it's a pretty quick and easy ten bucks and you don't have to wait days for the transfer. Using Paypal it's pretty much instantaneous as if you called a friend and told them to send you money via the service.

(usually I don't do this sort of thing, but after using to consistently and getting several easy payouts now, I'm really quite baffled by all the bad reviews, maybe I'm just lucky, but given that I'm not really a very lucky person when it comes to this sort of thing, I wonder what's going on.)

I have cashed out before in the past, but the surveys are 15-25 minutes long. Opinion Outpost once banned me for no reason but they rescinded the ban. They'll ban you, claiming there were "inconsistencies" in your answers but the real reason they ban users is because they cash out too much. If a person cashes out $100 in paypal or Amazon Gift Cards per year, they'll ban you--even if you are truthful.

I have over 600 points and when I go to redeem I get an error message saying my account is under review. I've been a loyal member for several months now. They always have an excuse as to why it's not working and I've been trying for a month and a half to get my reward points. I am disabled and unable to work so little bits and pieces like this I really count on. It really makes me angry that these companies get away with this.

EVERY SINGLE SURVEY I attempted or completed took 3 to 5 times longer than stated. Too many false starts also... took an average of 8 minutes to find out I didn't qualify for a survey, and when I did qualify, a "20 minute" survey was taking me 4 to 5 sessions of 20 minute each over the course of 24 hours (no way to sit still and answer a 20 minute survey that takes 2 to 3 hours. I suspect that my total time invested in my $5 amazon gift card was 10 hours... that's an amazing $0.50 per hour and I would have been better spent watching the worst TV shows on earth. Run. Run Now. Run Away!

I started 5 survey sites, including this one about 7 months ago. I rarely qualify for a survey; I just now made my first $10. Meanwhile, I have cashed out over 5 times on other survey sites. I will probably let this one go.
They have a nice small selection to choose from your points, cash, Amazon, iTunes and things suchlike things.

Do not join as they work with other companies that share your information you will be inundated with spam calls and emails. You have been warned

Furthermore, the likelihood of even doing 1 survey/30 is extremely low. The rejection rate is absolutely absurd.

I can say without any hesitation that this place is a SCAM

They have you answer so many questions and when you think you're done they tell you that we're not a right fit. What a waste of time! Will definitely not recommend this site to anyone.

Or actually not really. I cashed out 2x then they decided there was a code violation...
Yeah right, gonna not rush through your garbage surveys that pay 20 cts an hour when you do it right.
Well no harm done. Keep the remaining 43 cents. Shame on you.
Stealing from decent people even surveys.
Stay away unless you are unemployed in some 5th world country and can't even make 3 dollars a day.

I just took 12 surveys in about 4 hours and only passed 2. What is really frustrating is going through at least 3 of them all the way to the end and being told I don't qualify. That should be done in the beginning so that I am not wasting my time when I could have been taking other surveys. Looks like I will have to go back to lying on the surveys in order to get more rewards, like I use to do.

I signed up, took a LONG profile survey, got only five points, and there were never any surveys available. Then, when I emailed them about the fact that I don't have a mobile phone at the present time, and they require a phone text verification for some things, they suspended my account!

Enough said.

After almost completely finishing 2-30 min surveys I got booted off the website. Very frustrating! 3 hours of my time equated to a $5.00 gift card.

They let you get to the end of the survey then say there's better suited surveys for you. So they waste your time and get their survey questions answered while not rewarding you. Makes me not want to put any effort in anymore, such hacks.

I recently set up an account on Opinion Outpost, completed my profile honestly and accurately, and was immediately suspended indefinitely before even having a chance to complete a survey. I've had zero response from them when asking why my account was suspended. There's better survey sites out there, steer clear of this one.

Avoid becoming a survey participant on Opinion Outpost, it's a waste of time.

I have been or I was with Opinion Outpost since the fall of 2010. I have had my ups and downs with the site, but I have never thought that I would be suspended from doing surveys with the site. I have gone out of my way to take my time during survey, contacting customer service when there were errors, recommending the site to other survey takes and now I am not longer able to take surveys with them. Up until Friday I thought the site was awesome. Over the years I have done surveys, product testings, online forums, focus groups... so on and so forth. I never talked about the surveys I did and made sure my answers were well thought out and accurate. I made a point of taking it seriously. On Saturday, I try to log in and my account was frozen. Tonight I receive an email that says it is frozen because of inaccurate answers and for not being attentive. That is so not me. Also, I would think that since I have been with them for so long they might have thought, maybe her account got hacked or maybe something else happened. Not just up and suspend me so I cannot get the money I had already earned or get proof of what they are talking about. Today I just received products that I am suppose to be taking a survey on in their site. I guess I will contact that marketing group to let them know I can no longer participate. I don't hate Opinion Outpost. I enjoyed them for years. I am just very sadden how it came to an end and I feel like I should have gotten the benefit of the doubt, They said they investigated. I wish I could see what they investigated. Anyway, be careful if you sign up with them, make sure you cash out as soon as you get to a reward amount, be sure to be as accurate as possible.

Opnion Outpost is a fraudulent site for several public and personal reasons, I will start with personal reasons the most important of which is that it suspended my account after I collected 200 points equal to $20 without giving any convincing reasons
Plus I was completing the survey and didn't get its value and when I called the support I didn't get any response from them... these are some personal reasons.
General reasons in short the support is poor and the rewards value compared to many sites is very poor and also they don't have rewards based on games or shopping like other sites plus that when I upgraded my account before I didn't notice any change in the value of the surveys or I became a premium member with them.
In the end, I do not recommend this site because it is a scam and does not value its customers

Was a member, a Diamond member, then out of the blue they suspended me and would NOT give a reason citing privacy issues. Bull Hockey. I emailed them back and they let do more surveys and AGAIN, out of the blue they suspend me for "violating the terms". What terms did I violate this time? Funny I did nothing different in getting to be a Diamond member except get a few years older; also changed my browser, nothing was said about that. This place is good in the very beginning, but do not let your money build or they will suspend you. Watch out for the related site Opinion World. You get suspended at one site, you are also suspended at the other site, without reason.

I had been a member of opinion outpost and ipoll for years without problems. Recently, they kicked me out of both accounts saying "I had not been attentive" in my survey answers. As I have not changed the way I answer surveys over the years, I find this a hollow reason - especially when I had been a member of both for so long. I believe they just decided they needed trim the number of panelists - DO NOT JOIN either of these as they will kick you out for NO good reason and without warning. Do stay away!

Unfortunately I can only give a give it an "ok" rating. There hasn't been many surveys either on the site or through emails and the minimum to cash out is quite high so I am not sure I will ever get there. Their support does not respond to emails/tickets.

This is no longer a legit website, if you have used it in the past they are now using you to gather free information. They will let you do a ton of surveys and gather up points, but they WILL NOT let you redeem those points for rewards. I used to use this service in the past and it was legit, but I have tried recently and they said I was not being honest in my surveys and deleted my account after a had gathered a good amount of rewards points. I have ALWAYS been sincere with every survey I have completed. Attached is an email I got after I sent a question about why I was not able to claim my rewards. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.
