Opinion Outpost rewards panel members Opinion Points for every survey they qualify and complete, Opinion Points are redeemable for cash (check), and recently Opinion Outpost added Amazon Gift Cerfticates which only requires minimum of 10 Opinion Points ($1.00) to request payment, so you can cash out Amazon as soon as you just earned 10 points ($1.00)! Age Requirement: at 18 years old Open to Countries United States, Canada, and UK My Experience Opinion Outpost is very good paid survey site. They send me about 1 - 2 surveys weekly, sometimes more. Their surveys ususally pay between 10 Points ($1) - 50 Points ($5). They host most of the surveys themselves, which generally interesting and take about 10 -15 minutes. I have redeembed a few times, they are a little slow sending out checks, but they do pay and they are reliable. I am glad they now have Amazon gift certificates which will pay much faster. Next time I will cash out Amazon gift cards and will post an update. Overall, Opinion Outpost is a good online paid survey site and I recommend it!

Well I had stopped receiving invites from all the sites until now with Opinion Outpost.
Looks like they still haven't sorted out the old/new sites transition or merger or whatever it is!!
It looks like it logs me in, but clicking any of the site links lead me to the new site main page.
The only explanation i can think of is maybe for opinion outpost is still providing some of their own surveys, but using SSI for most of them.
Other then that I have no clue why they are simply not merged under one site, other then giving them reason to screw members out of their rewards when the do a "accounts review" after merging with a new site, and instantly lock out all duplicates.
I Forwarded my reply to their email telling me why my accounts were locked directly to SSI since replying (as they indicated i could do in the email) comes back undeliverable.
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,

Having an account with more then one of these will eventually get them all locked without notice. Even if you were registered with them before they merged under SSI.
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.

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?
from them. I still have about $15 in my
account, so you earn money with them pretty fast. This is one of my top survey sites.
No product tests with them yet, but they have
paid me well for my time, for the surveys
which I've taken.
They send me surveys regularly, at least every other day.
I don't like all the OTX surveys they send b/c, OTX has you answer questions anywhere from 5-20 minutes and suddenly you don't qualify.
I don't know about you but if I sit and answer questions for 20 minutes, I consider
myself having taken a survey.
So other than Opinion Outpost farming
out quite a few of their surveys to OTX,
I am very happy with them.
This is a site I recommend you sign
up with. {*;*}
I qualify for 2-4 a month.
I have received payment from them.
They pay through check.
It took about 2-3 weeks.
I havent had any problems with them.
They are in my top 15 survey sites.
Update once a month your profiles even if there is no change. Log in from time to time. If there still isn't any change e-mail them once in a while to show you are still interested. The surveys should come. I also had a dead period for weeks with them, then things picked up again.
