I've been doing surveys for OO for some time now and don't see where they're purposely cheating anyone out of incentives. However, I believe the negativity will bite ya every time. :shake:

Received an invite to a survey (#36097086 - Greenfield Online) WHILE Checking my e-mail and went to start it within minutes of receiving the invite and it already said they had filled their quota after entering my age and minor information. Is this a common occurance with Opinion Outpost?

if you aren't receiving surveys, send them a note, i got this in response "Thanks for contacting us about this issue.
When you take surveys we watch for many variables that help us determine the quality of the data you are giving to us. In your case, several surveys were flagged with a data concern. After looking into this, the severity of the issues has been minimal compared to others.
We do know that our data quality system is not perfect and that at times there are surveys that don't have issues that are flagged as a possible data concern. We are always looking for ways to improve this process. In aggregate we look at your combined scores and use these to determine how often we send surveys.
You will be receiving new survey invites soon. Please be careful when responding to future surveys. There is a chance you may be set to not receive surveys again due to the past issues. We will make a note on your account and review to see if there are data concerns past this point. Please let me know if you have any concerns about this matter."

Got the same message a few days ago except I am banned for life due to saying the truth? I fail 3/4 of their surveys.
I am already behind on cash, and this makes it worse for me.

Opinion Outpost is starting the "error after survey completion" crap so they don't have to pay you for your answers.
I've only had it error out once after I completed a survey and I emailed them because instead of saying completed on my history it said started and when I clicked to try to submit it would say it was completed. They said that occasionally that happens and that after the survey closed they'd check my info against the information the survey people send (saying who completed) and credit me then if I'd completed it. They did. It never showed up right on my survey history but my account did get the points.

I've been getting bombarded with surveys recently. I just can't keep up. It's not only Opinion Outpost but also from Mindfield, Lightspeed, Toluna, and others. I just started deleting them since I don't have time to do all of these. I originally was only a member of like 3 but that was over a year ago and I rarely got surveys so I joined a few more. Now they are constantly sending me surveys and I can't keep up.

They seem to have fixed most of the problem now but I still have three that say started that I know were completed in the last week. At least I didn't lose any of my earnings this time. Last time I lost $8 and it took them forever to re-credit it.

Hasn't happened to me but I keep fully completing surveys and not getting credit for them. Every time I contact them about it they say they must have been closed or filled but when that is the case I almost always end up back at OO with the option to play the instant win and whatnot so I do not believe that is the case, seems rather shady.

Got a email saying how they are phasing out the "check" part.
And that you will either get a online amazon code or a Citi bank debit card and if your points are under 25$ and u choose the card u get a fee taken out
I wish the checks were faster arriving but i dont mind waiting for the checks. I dont like that they are phasing them out

My checks come in a week after cashing out! I bet a mailed debit card will be much longer.

You will also be able to get a virtual debit card and not have to wait for a physical card to be mailed. Not sure how much use that will be for some, but it will be an option.

OO has been really screwed up for me the last couple of days. Got a survey that took me to a blank page, got another invite and this time it worked, watched 3 videos, asked tons of question and it error-ed out. Now it says in my history "Not a match"
Then tried to take another one and it wouldn't even load. I gave up for today.

I've had trouble with them for the past few days too. At the end of a very long 45 min. survey the other night, it messed up so the survey shows as "pending". I emailed them about it and they said it's by a 3rd party and will take 2 to 3 weeks to resolve. Whatever. Then I attempted another survey they sent to me and it went straight to the screen where you put in your email address to confirm that you took the survey. This is the first time I've ever had trouble with their surveys but I think I'll give it a rest for awhile and hopefully they will get things straightened out for me. I very much dislike doing 45 min. surveys anyway and usually don't do them, so it figures I would have trouble - just my luck.

Id rather get a check...it never seems to take long and i can deposit or cash it without any problems.
The virtual debit wouldnt work for me. And the physical debit will charge a fee. And if i use it to pay bills and stuff will i be able to take the money on it out at a ATM? and then how much will i be charged for doing that i wonder

This happened to me a few months ago on a three video survey - never got paid it either. I emailed them but just got the typical canned responses. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, but seeing how this is still an issue it appears the 3rd party company is taking your results and then acting like you DQd. OO probably gets enough payment from the requesting company that it is willing to look the other way, not pay anyone out, and blame it on someone else. Win-win for OO and other company...lose for us.

They've done that to me three times now and their response to me was, 'We have already awarded points to all those who completed the survey; unfortunately, you were not reported by the client to have successfully completed it.' When I brought up the fact that it said PENDING and not QUOTA MET/NOT A MATCH like everything else I don't qualify for/complete, and the fact that there was a points amount listed in the Points Earned column instead of nothing, should have proved I completed the survey, they told me they would 'look into it' and I never heard back from them or received the points.

that has happened to me too..and any amount of writing to them doesn't help..so i just don't bother to tell them. Infact just now i took a survey about frozen foods and i completed the whole damn thing ,and it still says "started" on my pg!

I took a survey, and after it redirected me back to the OO page, it had a red box saying I had already taken it. I wrote them an e-mail saying yes, I had taken it JUST THEN, and they wrote me back saying that it was listed in my history as taken. I checked my history, and sure enough, it was listed for that same day. But the way it was worded, and the red box made it look like I wasn't receiving credit because I had taken it sometime prior to that one time.
Maybe they can get it together. Writing to them doesn't always seem to help, because it doesn't seem like they can see common sense sometimes. I hope y'all can get your stuff worked out with them.

Take a screenshot of the ones you finish . They wont be able to dispute that and honestly if they get a whole bunch of people that had same issue with same survey unless they are a ripoff company they cant dispute it.

So I just did a survey on kids art stuff and it said at the end that I qualified for a 10-15 minute call survey that would be worth another 30 points. It asked me classification questions at the end, but never my phone number. Anyone else ever get one like this? Wondering if they will just call the number in my OO account or send another survey that instructs what to do?

they probably have you flagged. Usually they tell you there are various reasons but if you email them again and ask them to look into it they will usually tell u that your account has been flagged.

Make sure all your profiles are properly filled out, the more details they have the more surveys they send you. Each one tells you in the emails they send you or in the available surveys section how many points each particular survey is worth and the emails tell you the approximate time each particular survey will take to complete.
10 Opinion Points = $1.00
