(Click here to check your eligibility) If you check both the items in the eligibility list, then you are good to go with it. Just download the Google Opinion Rewards app on your smartphone. It’s available for both Android & iOS.

After successful download, you need to provide some of your personal information (Name, DOB & Address) so that Google can get an idea of who you are & what kind of surveys should make sense to you. After setting up everything perfectly, all you need to do is to wait for your first survey. You’ll receive a minimum of 1 survey every week, for which you’ll get notified. Each survey has a validity of 24 hours, if you failed to complete it in the given time frame you’ll have to wait for next week’s survey. Most surveys require 5-10 seconds to fill & while others may take up to 20-30 seconds. You’ll receive your rewards after completing the survey.

How does the Google Opinion Rewards app work?

The idea behind the app is very much simple, Google will push weekly surveys to get your opinion on that & will reward you for it. This reward is a small token against the honest opinion you are providing to Google via those surveys. A survey can be a general survey asking about a particular brand or service, that you are using or have used in past or might give you surveys based on the places you’ve visited or based on your internet activity. Surveys mainly consist of single/multiple-choice questions & sometimes, they might ask your opinion directly without giving any sort of choices/options.

Rewards & Payments!

Believe me or not, this is the only survey app that’ll provide you with rewards instantly. $1.00 is the maximum, you’ll get after filling out a survey. However, the amount of reward will vary with each survey. Each survey is different, usually, the long surveys provide you with the highest reward. The payment scenarios are a bit different on both smartphone OS platforms. In iOS, your rewards will get transferred to your PayPal account after it reaches $2.00 in your Google Opinion Rewards account.

And in the case of Android, you can use those accumulated rewards as Google Play Credit to buy anything off Google Play Store. However, in some European countries, you’ll get rewarded via PayPal on Android, just like iOS. (Check the below screenshot for Indian Google Opinion Rewards users)

I am not getting weekly surveys, this app is fake!

Some of you might be struggling to get surveys on your smartphones & might have uninstalled the app saying it’s fake. However, it isn’t the case since this app is legit & gives regular surveys on the regular basis. You can follow the below-mentioned tips, to start receiving a survey & make some money off your ‘valuable’ opinions.

1- Always keep the Google Opinion Rewards app in the background. Some Android skins tend to kill apps in the background, which is why you are not receiving any surveys at all. Make sure you have added the Google Opinion Rewards app to the white list, so the OS won’t kill it in the background. If your app stays in the background, then you definitely receive a minimum of 1 weekly survey. This will not only ensure that you are actually using the app but also be willing to give opinions.

2- One survey per week is the minimum you will get on this app. However, if you want to get more surveys, you should consider enabling Google Location History for the account you are using to get surveys. This will allow Google Opinion Rewards to send you surveys based on your location. Suppose, you paid a visit to a nearby restaurant, and you’ll definitely get a survey related to that location & if that’s not enough, such kinds of surveys have the maximum payout. (You need to keep GPS on your smartphone)

3- Always try to give an honest opinion by going through each & every question asked in the survey. This will not only make that survey legitimate but also gives Google the correct information to analyze for use.

Wrapping up: Google Opinion Rewards

We know that this app is not something you can rely upon for easy instant money nor this app will make you any rich overnight. Yet the reward you get is pretty enough to get some of the content over the Google Play store. If you are an Android user, you can use the reward (Google Play Credit) for buying Apps, Games, Music, Books, or Movies in Google Play Store.
