How it works
The Opinion Panel extends many opportunities for its members to get paid for various types of research:
Evaluations
TOP's evaluations are designed to provide a realistic consumer experience when rating a product or service. Because the member acquires the product or signs up for the service without special access or privilege, they are able to genuinely assess the complete experience. In exchange, members are compensated for their time and effort; the compensation amount and acquisition costs (where applicable) are always disclosed before the member begins the evaluation. Typical compensation - null |
Studies
TOP also offers traditional research studies. Members who meet the study screening criteria are eligible for any associated reward upon completion of a simple questionnaire. No purchase is involved in a TOP study. Typical compensation - $1.00 |
Reward mail
If you're like most people, you already check your e-mail several times a day. Our Reward Mail offers the opportunity to get paid for doing just that! Reward mail messages contain advertisements that we will pay you to view and interact with. Typical compensation - $0.10 |
Deals
Members who wish to "top up" their earnings can get cash back on purchases made through listed deals. Often times, deals constitute products the member might normally purchase anyway. By shopping through the TOP Deals page, members can get cash back they would have otherwise missed out on. Typical compensation - Between 1% and 10% cash back |
What's involved in an evaluation?
Would you like to join the TOP survey team and earn great rewards just for sharing your opinion? You've come to the right place!
Here is how it works:
- We will invite you to try a new product or visit a popular web site. There are typically new opportunities every week.
- If you are interested, you can request the product or visit the web site and follow the evaluation steps. We will provide you with detailed steps on what to do and what to evaluate.
- After evaluating the product or web site, we will invite you to fill out a simple online survey. This is where you share your experience and tell us how effective the product or web site was. Your answers are completely anonymous.
- Earn points for every evaluation you complete. Once you start, you'll see how easy it is to quickly accumulate points. These points are redeemable for great rewards, like gift cards from popular stores, so you can choose the reward that's right for you. It's that simple!
