I have written several articles about websites where you can take paid surveys online, but this is another site that has proven to be very good; both of my roommates use it. OpinionOutpost.com is a great site to take paid surveys online. Is it legitimate? How does it work? Keep reading my review to find out.
You can sign up for Opinionoutpost.com at this link. It is actually pretty legitimate. my roommates use it. The way it works is that they send you surveys that you prequalify for. Each survey is worth a certain amount of points. The minimum amount of a points is 20 and each point is 10 cents.
Most of the surveys only take about 20 minutes to do. In comparison, the surveys I have taken on Toluna.com or E-rewards.com can take as much as 45 minutes or more. Some of them were also for significantly less money yet more than twice as much time.
After signing up, you fill out a bunch of “profiles” based upon topics life lifestyle, electronics, finances, etc… This is used to help you prequalify for surveys. When you get an actual survey, you usually have to enter a lot of redundant info that I would hope they could store and auto-enter into the surveys, but that’s not what happens. No site works like that.
So, if you are looking to make money doing paid surveys online, check out Opinionoutpost.com. Let me know if you like it.

opinion outpost is a paid survey website. It has a low minimal payout/redemption of £2.50 directly into your paypal account, which I have found to be great compared to other survey websites.

I have had a different experience:
If you are reading this, you may be like me and thousands of other individuals who pursue survey-based services online where our opinion provides an invaluable resource to product manufacturers, businesses, service providers, etc. and where our time is rewarded with compensation. I, myself, have been a member of many different paid survey services for a few years now and have had both excellent and very unfavorable experiences.
I was shocked and appalled to find out that Opinion Outpost was rated the #1 paid survey service available, yet through my experience this is by far the worst service of which I have ever been a member. I know I am not alone in saying that Opinion Outpost is notorious for taking advantage of their “cherished and valued” members, providing horrific customer service and ultimately giving survey-based services overall a marred reputation.
I was a member of Opinion Outpost for many years only to have my account flagged on several occasions for no apparent cause and/or reason. When your account is flagged you receive no survey opportunities until this flag is removed. I had to contact customer service numerous times about this issue because they never notified me that my account status had ever changed. No explanation was ever given regarding this matter and in the end my evaluation of their customer relations is that they provide inadequate, unprofessional, prejudiced and demeaning customer service with an overall lack of concern.
If this is not enough to make anyone avoid this detestable service and seek out superior avenues, here is a list of more irritably-frustrating experiences which ultimately led me to throw in the towel:
- They require you to sacrifice many hours of your time to provide an enormous amount of personal/sensitive information for which they give you ZERO compensation.
- Time and time again I have answered up to 50 questions for a single survey, providing so much useful data, only to find out that I did not qualify and thus received no compensation for my time and information provided.
- They allow their partners to covertly steal your information without compensation and/or notification… let alone permission. When you confront Opinion Outpost about such matters they respond by asking if you would like them to close your account as this is common practice.
- I can honestly say that I only qualified for 10% of the surveys they ever sent me. This equates to many hours of wasted time, confusion, frustration and utter annoyance.
Through a lot of time and wasted energy I know now that I am better off not maintaining my membership with Opinion Outpost. I hope that this review will save at least one person their precious time, effort and frustration through which myself and many other members have direly suffered.
On a side note: I have personally known other members of Opinion Outpost who have had nothing but problems similar to my own. Only a minute number of individuals have ever been satisfied by their service. I would not be surprised to find out that many of the positive reviews one can find regarding Opinion Outpost were written by employees or affiliates.
Some claim they provide the highest rate of compensation for a free service (?). But at what price?
I agree with some of what you are saying, but I guess that I have had a better experience with it than you have.
Neat site man. Check out my website. It has some cool stuff too.
My favorite survey site currently. Got a balance of about $70 there right now and cashed out once already a few months ago. Worth the time.

Ok so I am thinking about removing my site from Tumbler and get it to a WordPress site. I believe this is a wordpress site right? If it is, may I ask where you got the theme? Thanks a bunch!
