Opinion Outpost is not what it use to be. It was one of my favorite sites to do surveys. Too many 5 point surveys now (5 points for 15 minutes is not good). They use to credit 20 points for 25 min surveys now its 10-15 points. There aren't as many surveys either. I am hearing quite a few complaints from different survey forums and I'm hoping OO is listening.

I haven't been able to access my account for a few months. This is one of the answers I got from them.

Hello Henry,

With regard to each of your accounts not being moved over yet. We'd like to inform you that we have been listing down the email addresses of those who have emailed and called us about this, and have actually been sending the SSI Migration team a list of PIDs and email addresses by batch every week for processing. But because they have well over thousands of accounts that need to be looked into before moving any account over to the new system, the process is taking longer than was expected. Rest assured, they are being looked into by the team. As for a specific time frame as to when all these accounts will be moved over, we are unable to say. We are hoping in the coming weeks or so. We are truly sorry about all that has been going on since the merger and are doing all that we can to make things happen and get things going as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Rona

It would appear that I too have now become a victim of opinion outposts sudden "freezing of account" for no apparent reason.
Just days after completing a multi-part study worth like $15 alone I found my account was frozen.
Sent an email to their support only to get an generic "we will get back to you soon" response.
Waited a month with no reply, sent another email, same response.

On another note, I am not 100% positive but I think opinion outposts new site is partnered with survey spot, with them running few of their own study's anymore.

Great paid survey site, one of the best imo. They pay better than most, and many payout options. http://OpinionOutpost.com/join/9934842

I love this site I think overall it is my favorite site. I usally get at least 2 surveys a day. I recently did a focus group on dry shampoo and I got 100.00 for about 3 hours. You need to sign up for this site.

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?

Very good review of Opinion Outpost. I've made tons from this site as well (normally over $50-75 a month).

Excellent survey site. Probably the best. I've made over $70 with them since Sept. 09. I've had two product tests as well. Lowest survey amount I've had has been 80 cents, highest paid was $6.50! Only bad point is the OTX surveys. Most of them are too hard to qualify for, though I have gotten through maybe five since Sept.

Have tried signing up on this site numberous times. After filling our e-mail, etc, always get a message "site is unavailable at this time." Have been trying for 2 months.

Hmm... What am I doing wrong on their site then? Member there for over 3 months an not 1 survey for me.

Hard to qualify but pays very well. Very few surveys in one month then 3 in one week. They also have OTX surveys which I do not attempt. It seems that Greenfield gives them their better paying surveys rather than to their own Greenfield members (shame on Greenfield). I probably only qualify for about 25% of surveys but average $5 a survey.

I have the same problems as Soly. I haven't gotten an invite in about 5 months and I just get the generic reply when I send an email that sometimes I people don't meet certain criteria....

Hi, have you checked your junk folder and blocked address book yet?

charee,
did they also tell you that everything was OK with your account?!?!? I even did all the profile surveys from their website again!

I registered to the site about a year and a half ago. I used to receive surveys every week or so, but in the last 4 or 5 months I havent received a single survey from them!!! I asked them if my account had a problem and they told me that everything was OK. Does anyone have the same problem???

i became a member 9 days ago, i have received 11 surveys, qualified for 5. i just cashed out yesterday with 12 dollars just to see if its real. In about 4 weeks im supposed to get the check. if its true, then this site is the best survey site ever! So many surveys, and they all pay well. simply increadible.

Thank you guys for sharing your experience!

In my experience Opinion Outpost send 3 to 4 surveys a week though it is tough to qualify. In the 4 months of my membership I have earned $50. I have had problems receiving checks and they do take time, but I have received all that was due
