Credits are the currency used by OPINION HEROES. In addition to the opportunity to speak your mind and to have an active impact on products or campaigns, you are also rewarded in the form of Credits. You will receive Credits for all studies that you successfully take part in. Before each study we will tell you how many Credits you would get for taking part. For online surveys the number of Credits depends mostly on the length of the study and on the country you are in. For product tests, focus groups and mystery shopping assignments, there are further aspects that may vary greatly between different studies. Here again, you will always find out how many Credits you will get, before you take part.

You can accumulate your Credits in your profile! How about setting a new record?

If you want, you can also request payment of your Credits. Payment is done quite simply via PayPal. Please make sure that the email address with which you are registered with OPINION HERO is also listed in you PayPal account to allow us to identify you.

For any payments you should also bear in mind the following: Your credits will disappear and if you would like to set a record, you will have to start from scratch.

It can sometimes happen that you are invited to a survey and that you start this survey but are unable to continue after a couple of selection questions, because you do not match the required target group. The same may apply, when the survey is already closed. In such a case, our system will immediately search for a new survey for you. If you are able to complete the survey, you will receive the remuneration for this survey. You will get higher compensation for a longer survey and lower compensation for a shorter one.

Thank you for your answers!

It can sometimes take up to an hour for Credits to show in your account. Feel free to send us a short message, if you still haven’t received any Credits after an hour. Please make sure to send the invitation link for the survey (even if you were forwarded after clicking the link). You will find it in the email we sent you.

Thank you so much for recommending us to your friends!

In order for you to receive the promised Credits, it is necessary that you recruit your friends via the recruit friends feature in your account and that your friends click the link in the email they receive. Otherwise, our system will unfortunately not be able to identify who has recruited the participant.

The Credits promised for recruiting your friends will be added to your account automatically, once your friends have successfully completed three surveys. You can check your friend’s status in your account. Immediately after inviting, the status is indicated as “-1” which means that your friend has not registered yet. Once the account is activated, the status changes to “0”. The status will increase by one for each successfully completed survey. This means that you will receive the promised Credits, as soon as status “3” is reached.

If your friend is indicated as “-1” in your account, even though you know that your friend has registered, please get in touch so we can check this for you.

In order to receive payment via PayPal it is necessary that you have a PayPal account. If you do not have one, you can register for free on www.paypal.com. To enable payout, it is important that you use the same email address for PayPal as you do for our panel! If you already have a PayPal account with another email address, you can simply add the email address you have used for registering with us to your PayPal account. As an alternative, we can also change the email address you are using for your OPINION HERO account.

To receive payment, please take the following steps:

  • Log into your account on our website
  • Click “pay out rewards”
  • Once you have reached the redeemable amount, tick the checkbox
  • Click the “checkout” button followed by “confirm order”.
  • Please remember to log into PayPal to accept the transaction, if necessary. If your email address is not linked to your PayPal account, you are able to add it to your account within 30 days, to receive the money (you will find out more about this below).
  • Please note that our system triggers payments once an hour. We would therefore like to ask you to wait for at least two hours, before contacting us about a failed transaction.
  • Feel free to send us a message if your money did not arrive.

In order for your rewards to be payable, it is important that your email addresses for both accounts are identical. There are a number of things you can do if this is not the case:

  • You can simply add the email address you registered with to your PayPal account. You will find the related settings in your PayPal profile. Your money is not lost, if you have already triggered payment, even though you have registered a different email address in your PayPal account. The money will arrive later on, if you add the correct email address to your PayPal account within 30 days. Please contact us for help, if those 30 days have already passed.
  • We can change your email address in our system. Please send us a short message containing your old and your new email address.

You can redeem 7,800 Credits through payment via PayPal. This is why payout via PayPal is only possible for an amount of at least 7,800 credits. For security reasons and to protect against fraud, the amount can be paid no more than twice a day. We are sorry but manual payment by us or full payment of all your credits is not possible.

There may be a number of different reasons why payment has not been credited to your PayPal account:

  • Is the email address you are using for OPINION HERO identical with the one used for your PayPal account? This is strictly necessary for any payments. If this is not the case, you are able to add your other email address to PayPal within 30 days. Payment will then be initiated.

  • Sometimes you need to accept payout. Please log into your PayPal account and check if there is a list of transactions that you need to accept.
  • If your email address is identical for both accounts and payment has still not arrived after two hours, please send us a short message and we are happy to look into things for you.
