llamallynn Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I had been a member for for over 10 years and my last email invite/survey taken was 9/29. I inquired and got this email and have no idea why. I have only ever had one account, have been conscientious in taking surveys, was a Diamond member, always redeemed for Amazon. I took many surveys for which I never got paid but for most I got paid and in a timely manner. They may just be cleaning out their member list. I am 75 and might be too old for their target groups and instead of me trying to take surveys and not qualifying decided to deactivate my account and blame me for it. I emailed them back this morning and asked what exactly I have done wrong. There is only one lie I tell on their surveys and that is how many people are in my household. My husband passed away about 3 months ago and I am not able to update at their site. I even emailed them about it and they told me to wait. I've never had this happen before and now I know how others feel. "Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged, and upon review of your account, we have been forced to suspend your account. As a member of our program you may only have one account, provide accurate profile information and survey responses. You must also be thoughtful and attentive in responding to our surveys. When we have concerns about any of these program rules we are obligated to take steps to investigate and unfortunately suspend accounts. We do not take account suspension lightly and do so only when account issues have been identified. At this time your account has been indefinitely suspended and you will no longer be able to participate in surveys or claim rewards from our website. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your patience. Kind regards, Pearl Opinion Outpost" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickie Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have noticed that if you are active on a survey site for a length of time, maybe as little as one year, they seek "fresh" opinions and terminate members who have been there longer. They write you a standard lame letter terminating you. This happened to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugb Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 GAve up on both a year ago as both were increasingly lame ducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny55 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Same thing here; I was with them for years; diamond member. After I got that lame email, I wrote them, but never got an answer. Getting rid of older people?? Conservatives?? Frustrating, for sure; I know some were owed more than I, and never got paid, nor got an explanation as to why.

SupremeC Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Ya. I doubt political ideology has anything to do with it. Opinion Outpost is garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinion Outpost is garbage. Totally agree! They’re owned by Dynata, which is a shady dishonest company. They shouldn’t even be in business.

mikedorb Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Opinion Outpost terminated or suspended my account several years ago. I think that is their reputation. I am in my 60's and was with them for a long time so that may have had something to do with it. But I also had a lot of luck completing surveys with them and at one point completed a lot of surveys in a short period of time and shortly after was terminated so the first thing that crossed my mind was they terminated me because they assumed I must have been cheating even though I know I wasn't.
