Is ‘Google Opinion Rewards’ Worth It?
Is ‘Google Opinion Rewards’ Worth It?

When it comes to paid surveys, I’ve always found them laughable. You get little return for your time and data. Many will claim it’s a side hustle, but it’s really not. It’s more like getting loyalty point or vouchers for giving greedy companies even more data than you already volunteer to them for free.

That being said, the Google Opinion Rewards app has been on my phone for over 4 years, and I used it almost every day. But why?

Yes, it can be said that Google Opinion Rewards is the same as the others, in the respect that they gain data from you in exchange for credit. However, Google isn’t pushy about it, nor is it tacky like the others.

You can’t just go into it and fill out as many surveys as you want, grinding away until you can afford that foot bath on Amazon. You have to wait for it to notify you when it has a survey for you. They request your service and you decided whether to give it to them or not. I think there’s something respectful and classy about that.

It doesn't ask you overly personal questions, which I like. Nine times out of ten, it asks me what shops I went to that day, and what method of payment I used, if any. Google already knows what shops I’ve been to because of location tracking on my phone. So the only thing I’m giving away is whether I used a debit or credit card to buy something.
