American Express Member Opinions

Apologies if this has already been discussed here, I did a quick search and didn't see anything... Just wondering if anyone else takes advantage of the American Express Member Opinions program.

 

MemberOpinions.com

 

If you have a MR earning card you're eligible and basically its just a survey program but it rewards you with MR points that post to your account immediately.

 

The first survey gives you a 550 point bonus and I usually just complete some every day while doing other computer work or watching TV. I usually average close to 1,000 MR points a day with very little effort. Those add up fast!

Re: American Express Member Opinions

That is a new one to me.  I used to do e-Rewards all the time as an easy way to kill 2-5 minutes here and there, but then the partners changed and I stopped using it since I was basically needing an insane number of "dollars" to buy Accor points that I would then transfer to airlines.

 

Looks like this is owned by Dynata, the same company.  Thanks for the heads up!

Ha!  That is the case with all of the opinion rewards programs.  "10 minutes" often takes 20 while "3 minutes" is usually just 2 or 3 clicks and you're done.

At least here, though, there are real surveys. With IHG I'd answer a lot of questions only to have them tell me I wasn't eligible for any.

Re: American Express Member Opinions

Yeah I hated that with e-Rewards.  10 minutes into survey and "We're sorry, but based on your answers..." here's $0.25 instead of the $10.00 we promised.  (Note $10 e-Rewards money is not really $10.)

 

So the site says 8-12 weeks to receive the points but they are already credited to my Platinum Card as bonus points in my MR summary.

Re: American Express Member Opinions

I still frequently get kicked out of surveys I "don't qualify for" and they award me 3 points instead of whatever the normal award i . But usually I don't waste my time too much by then. 

 

And yes as I said the points are instantly awarded after each survey. I saw one yesterday that had a 1,900 point award (I didn't qualify for it though)
