Get paid in cash or gift cards just for giving your opinion, but don’t expect it to make you rich.
Prime Opinion is a survey site and app that lets you get paid for completing surveys and playing games. Signing up online is easy, and you could earn as much as CA$7 per survey you complete. When you're ready to cash out, redeem your rewards for cash, a wide range of gift cards or a charitable donation.
But like other survey sites, Prime Opinion doesn't pay enough to replace your regular income. It actually took me almost four hours to earn US$5 — just enough to cash out with a Virtual Visa. You'll also need to deal with the frustration of getting screened out of surveys or having to make in-game purchases to progress. Still, if you want to earn some extra cash online, Prime Opinion is worth a look.
Prime Opinion is a market research platform owned and operated by Prime Insights AB, a Swedish corporation with its headquarters in Dover, Delaware. Prime Insights AB has over 20 million members in 40 countries around the world across all its survey and rewards platforms, including Prime Opinion, Five Surveys, HeyCash, EarnStar and TopSurveys.
Once you create a Prime Opinion account, you can find surveys you’re eligible for online or via the mobile app, or download mobile games and complete certain tasks like levelling up or making an in-app purchase.
You’ll receive reward points for every survey or in-game task you complete, with 100 points equal to US$1. When you’re ready to make a withdrawal, you can redeem your points for cash, dozens of gift cards or a charitable donation.
Yes, Prime Opinion is a legit paid survey platform. This market research site accepts members from Canada and several other countries around the world and allows you to earn cash or gift cards, or make charitable donations for completing online surveys and other small tasks.
Prime Opinion has also received thousands of positive customer reviews across platforms like Trustpilot, Google Play and Apple’s App Store. I’ve also tested the platform myself until I reached the minimum requirement of 500 points to cash out with a Virtual Visa, which I received within 30 minutes.
Prime Opinion doesn’t publicly disclose a set minimum cash-out, likely because it varies by reward. However, I noticed that before I claimed a reward, the lowest minimum cash-out requirement was 500 points. After I used my first 500 points to cash out a $5 Virtual Visa, I noticed I could redeem some rewards with as few as 100 points, though the minimum cash-out for gift cards stayed the same, ranging from 144 to 17,986 points.
After your first withdrawal, here’s the minimum cash out you can expect for some of Prime Opinion’s popular rewards:
You’ll earn a 100-point welcome bonus when you sign up for Prime Opinion, and there are several ways to earn rewards through the platform.
"I signed up for Prime Opinion, downloaded the app and started testing both surveys and games to see how the platform worked. Each survey showed an estimated time and points reward, but before getting started, I had to answer pre-screening questions that typically took around three to five minutes to complete.
A lot of these screening questions focused on my buying habits, and since I’m not responsible for most purchasing decisions in my household or workplace, I was screened out frequently. When that happened, I only received 1–3 points, which felt low considering the time spent. I also noticed I was answering the same screening questions repeatedly, so I wish the platform saved my responses and only matched me with surveys I was more likely to qualify for.
I didn’t qualify for most of the higher-paying or longer surveys, and after nearly three hours of completing pre-questionnaires, I only managed to qualify for six full surveys. In that time, I earned a total of 195 points, which works out to be less than US$2.
I also tried one of the games, June’s Journey. My first task was to complete level 1, which took me about an hour to do. I only earned 76 points for that achievement, so less than US$1. My next task was to make an in-app purchase, so I stopped playing.
Overall, I found Prime Opinion easy to use but quite time-consuming for the amount I was earning. If you’re already playing the games featured on Prime Opinion or you qualify for more surveys, using the platform may be worth your time. Otherwise, I prefer other market research platforms like Ipsos iSay, as I wasn’t screened out of so many surveys."
Prime Opinion says you can earn up to CA$7 per survey. But when I created an account and completed my first survey, the payouts offered on surveys available to me ranged from 9 to 325 points (US$0.09 to US$3.25).
It took me around three to four hours to earn 425 points, which equates to less than US$5. So, while Prime Opinion offers a simple way to earn some extra cash on the side, it’s not enough to provide you with a full-time or even part-time income.
Prime Opinion has picked up mostly positive customer reviews online. Its app scores well on both Google Play and the App Store, while Trustpilot reviewers mention factors like Prime Opinion’s ease of use, the fact that it always has a wide range of surveys and games available and the flexible payout options.
People who leave negative reviews sometimes complain about having their accounts locked or not being credited any rewards for surveys they have completed.

Reddit user feedback for Prime Opinion is mixed — as it generally is for most survey sites. On the positive side, users mention that the platform is legit and provides a way to make money online. But other users complain about regularly being screened out of surveys, and they also point out that you’re not going to be able to earn a substantial amount of money by completing surveys.
Prime Opinion says it will never sell your email or share it with survey clients. Surveys also don’t require you to provide any personally identifiable information, and all responses you give are kept anonymous.
The fact that Prime Opinion has also received plenty of positive reviews on independent websites also helps reassure new users that they are dealing with a legit platform.
It’s free to sign up for Prime Opinion, and the platform doesn’t charge any fees, so Prime Opinion most likely makes money from commissions. It acts as the middleman between businesses that need to conduct market research and everyday consumers like you. It also connects game and app developers with new users, and in return for these services, it receives commissions.
The Prime Opinion app is available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. I found it easy to use, especially when downloading mobile games, as the Apple App Store would automatically pop up. It has all the same features as the website, including:
If you want to sign up with Prime Opinion, here’s what you need to do.
When you’re ready to cash out your earnings from Prime Opinion surveys, you can do so by choosing Claim Reward from your account dashboard.
You can choose from the following rewards:
If you’d like to cash in your rewards for a gift card, there are dozens of cards to choose from, ranging from CA$2–$250. Options include:
Prime Opinion is a legitimate and easy-to-use survey and games platform with a low cash-out threshold, fast payouts and a wide range of rewards. It also offers features like a referral program, daily streaks and leaderboard bonuses, adding extra earning opportunities.
However, I found that completing surveys and playing games on Prime Opinion can be quite time-consuming for the amount you earn. Frequent survey disqualifications, low payouts for screening attempts and the need for in-game purchases to progress made my experience frustrating.
Overall, Prime Opinion is best suited for earning a bit of extra cash on the side rather than a reliable income stream. If you qualify for more surveys than I did or enjoy playing games on your phone, it can be worth trying, but for higher and more consistent earnings, you may want to use it alongside other survey platforms or side hustles.
