Opinion Outpost| Earning Money from Online Surveys

I've been taking online surveys for as long as I can remember. To help track my earnings and cash-outs, I started a spreadsheet in 2007 where I logged my available balance each month for each site. While spending your time taking online surveys won't make you rich, they are a handy way to pad your budget and pick up some spare cash. Plus, they occasionally come with the benefits of hearing about new products before they are released to market - and even getting to try them sometimes!

I will highlight a website below that I've had success in using in the past, along with some details about my experience. Keep in mind that your experience may vary based on demographic data, location, survey availability, etc. 

EXPERIENCE

I've been taking surveys with Opinion Outpost since at least October 2007. My account was actually terminated in July 2017, April 2018, and June 2019 by the company. This occasionally happens if an account has been flagged for issues like rushing through a survey, data inaccuracies, etc. Generally, I have been able to resolve these issues by reaching out directly to customer service. In the most recent incident, I had to open a case with the Better Business Bureau to get my account and balance reinstated. I know I am guilty of occasionally multi-tasking while participating in these surveys, so please be aware that taking surveys while distracted can cost your your membership and points balance. 

EARNINGS

I have primarily redeemed for PayPal and Amazon. Over the past 13 years, my average annual redemption was $26.91. In total, I've cashed out $349.80.

Points are worth $0.10, so you will need 500 points to cash out $50. 

RECOMMENDATION

Despite the issues I mentioned with my account, I would still recommend Opinion Outpost. While there has been some restructuring to their program over the past several years, they still have a long track record in the business. Customer service is generally helpful, and a PayPal or Amazon cash-out is gold currency in the survey business.
