Gift Cards Galore!

MyView is a gift card lovers haven, as they offer dozens of gift card options from many different retailers including Amazon, Wal-Mart, iTunes, Shell, TJ Maxx, and more. Gift cards typically come in $20, $50, and $100 increments. Some gift cards are mailed to members; others are sent by e-mail in the form of an e-voucher. Minimum redemption is $10.

Cash or Charity Donations

MyView also offers the option to redeem your points towards cash or donations to charity. A PrePaid Visa/Mastercard can be collected once your account reaches $100. Donations can be made to many local charities; the choice is yours!

Receive Points for Disqualifications

MyView offers a generous 100 points for when members attempt surveys but are unable to complete them due to disqualification.

Daily Surveys

Daily surveys are often available to members if they log in to their accounts to check for surveys. Most online survey opportunities will be e-mailed, however those wishing to take additional surveys will find it beneficial to log directly into their accounts to check for available surveys.

Sweepstakes Opportunities

Each month MyView gives away $2000 worth of prizes in the form of one $1000 winner and five winners of $200. All panel members have a chance to win!

Teen Friendly Surveys

This panel offers many teen oriented surveys, as you need to be 13+ to join. This is a great way for teens to make a little bit of extra money and to feel like they are making a difference.

Take Polls, or Even Create your Own

MyView offers the opportunity to explore the panelist community through taking polls. You may even create your own poll question if there is something you want to know.

Eligibility: Select countries accepted, 13+

thumbs up for myview

September 17, 2010 by Alexandra from United States

I love MyView… I haven’t been a member for too long but I am yet to experience any issues with their company. For the past couple of days I’ve been qualifying for a lot more surveys than before and despite the fact that some of them are only offering a lottery entry, the cash surveys are many more and according to my calculations if I go on with the same tempo (which I intend to do when my holiday’s off) I will cash out very soon.

My View

September 17, 2010 by Ana from United States

I have been with My View for 6 months now and all that I have earned was $3. My View never has any surveys available and when they do I have a hard time qualifying for them. Do not sign up for my view, at the rate I am going it will take 5 years to finally cash out at $25. This is not a good survey company and now I heard that they take months to payout $25, it should not take longer than a couple of weeks if you are using paypal.

Worth the time.

September 17, 2010 by Nathan from United States

I've been a member of MyView for about 7 months, and I get surveys daily. Usually the surveys are $1-2, but I often get $5 ones as well.

Once I got to $25, they sent payment to my PayPal within a few weeks - I was paid what I was promised, and haven't had many issues.

I'm not sure why this ranks so low, because it is a good site to use.

Overall good experience

September 17, 2010 by Linda from United States

Overall, I've always had good experiences with them. They are very strict with their policies which I can see why so many will be discontent. Once I had my answers for a survey marked as 'questionable' so they didn't give the reward for that survey. When I contacted them they explained their whole data quality policies to me and although I wasn't happy to not get my $1 reward it made sense why they will have such strict rules. I've reached the $25 mark twice and even though they do take a little while to pay but it is easy to reach the payout amount. I was even part of a $45 study in December! I would just say to answer carefully.

Pros And Cons

September 17, 2010 by Melanie from United States

Pros:
1)Frequent survey invites (about 3 a week). 2)I haven't had any issues with not being credited for a completed survey. 3)They pay through paypal. 4)Reward amount is usually about $1-$3.

Cons:
1)It takes a really long time for them to confirm that you've completed a survey. It takes about two months for a completed survey to be credited to you account. 2)About 50% of the survey invites are only for sweepstakes entries. 3) The way that you check your earnings is a pain in the butt. When you complete a paid survey they give you a conformation code. You need to enter one of those codes to view your earnings information.
