my email from opinion world - this company is legit people have been paid by them, ive only been a member for 11 days but did all my research beforehand...

Paypal and Survey Payments:

Before going any further with completing our surveys please be aware that in order
to receive ANY rewards, you MUST have a paypal account. Your paypal email address
MUST also be IDENTICAL to the email address you use for Opinionworld. If it is
not, you will not be able to receive the rewards we send to your paypal account,
as we send payments by using your Opinionworld email address. Should you need to
change your Paypal/ Opinionworld email address to match your Opinionworld/ Paypal
one, please do so by logging into your paypal/ opinionworld account, and altering
your email address. We are not able to change your paypal email and you change
your Opinionworld one manually.

Please also be aware that there is currently nowhere for panelists to view their
accumulated 'Account Balance' or 'Points'. You can simply view each payment as and
when it reaches your paypal account, so we recommend that you keep a record of any
payments you are expecting, and please contact us if you do not receive it within
4-6 weeks.

Opinion World does pay very quickly into your Paypal account when you receive & complete surveys which give cash payment. However, my experience is that those surveys do not come very often but there have been other MSErs who have received lots of paid ones from them.
I can only assume it depends whether your profile is what they want.
I have now stopped doing the charity ones as I was receiving those every day but I do look to make sure I'm not missing a paid one!!

i was a member of this for ages, i never got any cash or vouchers. All it said was i do surveys, they give cash to charity its ok if you like to do that, but there is no proof they give cash to anybody!.

I'm exactly the same- for a long while I was with them- I joined while I was at uni and in total was with them for about 5 years. Yes really! Only got one paid survey when I first joined up, did daily surveys for them, all "went to charity". Apparently. I gave up in the end, marked them as spam and left.
But others above have been paid by them, not alot, your looking at £10 in a year, but not a site I would recommend from my experience. Guess the jurys out on them.

have to agree, I ended up spamming OW myself. It was getting a little silly that I was getting daily surveys (which seemed to be getting longer and longer - hence becoming tedious..) for no payment - or at least were *claimed to be benefitting a charity*...even when I unsubscribed, I was still getting invites (with no payment) for months afterwards...but now they've gotten the message and don't bother me anymore...

I have just taken the following from the Pinecone site. I am afraid, you will just have to keep your eyes open for banner ads.

Hope you are lucky as they are one of the better sites. I often receive products to test as well as the cash.

Do you recruit new members through your website or take referrals?
Presently, we do not recruit new members through our website or take unsolicited referrals. However, we will be posting recruitment opportunities through banner ads on various websites from time to time throughout the year. If you see one of these ads, please feel free to sign up with us.


Where can I find the PineCone banner ads?
Unfortunately, there is no one site that I disclose to you. The banner ad placement is not fixed over the life of the campaign. The web sites that our banner ads may appear on are constantly changing during the course of the campaign.

Yes i had seen that but thought it was worth a try!

Thanks anyway
