5 Surveys, Branded Surveys, HeyCash

Paidviewpoint is a paid surveys website where you can earn PayPal cash and gift cards for answering online surveys.

PaidViewpoint is operated by aytm.com (Ask Your Target Market) and with your help, AYTM is revolutionizing the market research industry by making quality market research easily accessible and affordable to businesses large and small everywhere.

How PaidViewpoint Works

paidviewpoint website

Earn Cash Taking Surveys

Paidviewpoint gives survey takers around the world the opportunity to participate in paid studies on their surveys platform. Becoming a member is free and only takes a few minutes.

PaidViewpoint is built upon 4 principles:

  • Cash for every completed market research survey. No points, chances or tickets.
  • No screen outs without a cash reward once you've been invited into a survey.
  • A carefully crafted survey taking experience that's clear, fun, and engaging.
  • Respect for your privacy and never selling your personally identifiable information to anyone.

Take surveys from a visually attractive, engaging platform where you can uniquely customize your survey taking experience by choosing from three website themes (light, dark, and retro).

New Member Cash Bonus

When you join PaidViewpoint, you'll be invited to complete two welcome surveys which each pay 50 cents each. They’ll ask you to fill in registration and demographic information to better match you with survey opportunities. Completing both surveys means a new member cash bonus of $1.00.

Joining is free, easy, and can be done using your email address, or by connecting your Google or Apple account. No activation code is required to receive the $1.00 sign up bonus—once you fully register and complete both of the short surveys, you’ll see the amount instantly credited to your account.

Survey Taking Experience

How PaidViewpoint Determines How Much You'll Earn Per Survey

Select the surveys you're interested in taking based upon the expected reward range or survey length. It’s your choice which surveys you end up taking!

Every survey gets a fixed amount of cash allocated to the respondents who participate in the study. That pot of money is divided up between the respondents based on their TraitScore. Adjustments are then made to level the playing field so that newer members of PaidViewpoint are treated equally compared to longstanding members. Additionally, the respondent pool is divided into groups, with the higher-level groups getting paid more for each survey answer.

Payment Options

PaidViewpoint offers online surveys in exchange for cash and gift cards. All cash-out payments are made through PayPal or their partner, Virtual Incentives.

  • Receive your first payment once you reach a $15 USD balance in your account. Your second reward redemption can be made with $10 in your account, and all subsequent redemptions can then be made with just $5 worth of earnings in your account, if your account is in good standing.
  • Receive your reward within 72 hours of request.
  • Reward options include PayPal payments (all countries), or regional e-gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, and more (for members in the USA, UK, and Canada).
  • If you are located outside the USA, you will be paid to your PayPal account in US dollars. Gift cards will be converted into your local currency (from USD).

Maximize Your Gains with Active Participation

Here's a tip: Stay engaged! Make a habit of logging in to the PaidViewpoint website regularly to seize the best-paying survey opportunities. No need to wait for emails—dive right in and watch those earnings grow.

Use a Magic Link to Access your Account

PaidViewpoint offers the convenient option of being able to log into your account using a 'magic link'. Instead of having to type in your password to access your account, simply enter in your email on the PVP website and PaidViewpoint will e-mail you a magic link that upon clicking, will automatically log you in to your account.

How to Get More Surveys

Getting Notified for New Surveys

PaidViewpoint doesn't always send an email notification to members when a new survey becomes available. Instead, surveys are posted to user dashboards. Upon logging in, you’ll see a message at the top of your user dashboard listing the number of surveys available. PaidViewpoint recommends logging into your account regularly to be able to take these higher paying surveys, as opposed to waiting for an email invitation.

Increase Your TraitScore and Earn More

PaidViewpoint's patent pending TraitScore system was invented to assess and promote the candor and consistency of survey respondents. The higher your TraitScore, the more you can earn per Research survey. A high TraitScore allows you to receive the maximum number of surveys per month.

Member's Tip! Don't wait for PaidViewpoint to e-mail you surveys. Log in to your account regularly to find full surveys (non-trait surveys) posted there first.

Survey Lengths

Survey lengths vary, but are typically between 5-6 minutes. All surveys have limits placed on the number of characters in a question (120-240) and in survey answers (90-120) to give a Twitter-like feel. The number of answer choices is limited. Long, classic, complex, matrix-type questions are forbidden and the number of open-ended questions (where you have to type in answers) is limited. The maximum number of questions in a survey is limited on average, to around just 10 questions long.

Daily Surveys

You can wait until new surveys are posted to your dashboard, but you can also take "Trait Surveys" and earn between $0.03 and $0.10, on most days. These Trait Surveys not only serve to regularly increase your earnings, but they also help increase your TraitScore. Note that receiving trait surveys regularly may depend on your region.

9000 TraitScore Importance: Achieve a TraitScore of 9000 to become part of the top 10% of members who earn more for each research survey!

Survey Variety

The surveys on PaidViewpoint are designed to be brief and to the point, mostly with multiple-choice questions. It's all about keeping things simple and enjoyable for you.

Surveys Are Meant to Be a Breeze

At PaidViewpoint, every survey you see is tailored to you, and is based on your profile. That way, you're never wasting time on surveys that aren't a good fit.

PaidViewpoint App

If you prefer to take surveys on your phone and like having direct access to your surveys account, you may consider downloading the PaidViewpoint app. You can complete surveys directly from the mobile app, check your account balance and cash out your earnings when ready. The Paidviewpoint app is available on both iOS via the App Store and on Android, via Google Play.

Community Features

paidviewpoint referrals

Earn More Though Referrals

PaidViewpoint offers a generous referral program where you will earn 20% of what your referrals earn for taking research surveys. In other words, earn 20% from your referrals when they take surveys other than "Traits Surveys.” You’re allowed an unlimited number of referrals and can earn up to a lifetime maximum of $25 per referral. If you can refer friends from the USA in particular, you will likely find you can earn more.

VIP Community Builders

For members who can generate large numbers of referrals, PaidViewpoint offers a VIP Community Builder Club. The benefit of the club is that you'll be credited with 20% of a referred user's earnings immediately after they complete a survey, without having to wait to be credited until a referral cashes out their earnings.

To get this privilege, you must have 100+ active friends or referrals. “Active” means your referrals have been a member for more than 30 days and must be visiting the site and completing surveys on a regular basis.

Is PaidViewpoint Legit or Scam?

Is Paidviewpoint Legit?

It's barely appropriate to even question whether Paidviewpoint is legit or a scam. PaidViewpoint is operated by AYTM (Ask Your Target Market) - a legitimate and well-regarded market research company with millions of members worldwide. They offer legitimate surveys to their respondents and pay them on time.

Although some users may have varying levels of success with the website (i.e. international users may find it difficult to find full paying surveys; surveys that pay more than $0.03 'trait surveys'), it doesn't mean that the panel itself is illegitimate, never mind a 'scam'. Paidviewpoint is a safe, secure, online surveys website.

Eligibility: Available in 50 countries worldwide. Must be 13+ (16+ in the EU) to participate.


Note: McAfee antivirus has been known to mistake PaidViewpoint as a "phishing" website. You can ignore this warning.

It is my most favorite survey site! Might take some time to get to cash out, but the surveys are interesting and have easy questions to answer. Look forward to them almost daily!!

Great if you can stick around for awhile

Re: Paid ViewPoint Mobile Survey Site

BRIEFLY:
1.). Surveys are few and far between
2.). Avg cash out time period is every 1 1/2 yrs.
3.). Surveys are very short
4.). Surveys lack interest and are redundant
5.). Nice UI, optimized for mobile use
6.) Payout threshold is $15, paid w/in 72 hrs.
7.). Via Paypal, Amazon or Walmart GC

MORE EXPLANATION:
Their surveys are very quick and painless. They ask a lot of redundant questions confirming personal traits.... more so than necessary. In all my time (3 1/2 yrs.), I've had very few surveys with much substance.

Their surveys are few and far between. They email you occasionally with surveys but it's best to check in and see if there is one. I forget about them, honestly. Then I'll get an email from them out of the blue with notification that I have 4 surveys waiting.

Their surveys only take a matter of minutes with no prescreening questions so that I like very much. They have a nice UI and are very mobile friendly.
The payout ($15) takes a long, long time to reach. This is only the second time I'm cashing out in almost 4 years. But, I don't check in with them daily. I forgot all about them until the recent email. In that sense, it's was a nice surprise to see that after all this time I was now able to cash out. You can cash out to PayPal, Amazon or Walmart GCs and they will give you that via email within 72 hours of cash out.

Since their surveys are so short and easy, I keep them around and don't mind answering for them when they pop up. I just know that now it will be another 2 years before I can cash out again.

I don't think the trait scores have anything to do with the frequency of surveys. I've never noticed any increase and I'm at 10000, the top.

I'm just happy for the $15 cash out today. That was a nice surprise a long time building up.

Thanks! Jen

great surveys

I really love this website it is very easy to use and the payout is quick.

Easy, but not a lot of cash

July 19, 2017 by Adam from United States

The good: surveys are 100% always directly within this site, so you never have a problem of being sent to some other site that bugs out or doesn't redirect back to pay you properly (and this site itself has not yet ever bugged out during a survey; in fact, the site *itself* is way shinier and with way more of an eye towards usability than most). You also 100% only get sent surveys you qualify for, and surveys are *short*. The longest survey I've ever seen was maybe 6-7 minutes, and it paid pretty well.

The bad: you don't get that many surveys. Importantly, while they *say* they'll email you about new surveys (it's in the UI and everything), apparently, and apparently *intentionally*, which is super weird, they basically never do. I don't understand why they would do that, but having discovered a way to periodically check a page for changes (running that checker *dramatically* increased my earnings on Prolific, which also never lets you know when new surveys post), I turned it on for paidviewpoint as well, and yeah, that helps a lot. (The one I use is called Distill Web Monitor, and it works flawlessly for paidviewpoint. Only works *mostly* for Prolific.)

Also, while the site itself is super shiny, they don't seem to have much of an editing presence on the surveys that come in. Some of the surveys have been great, some have been... not so great in terms of knowing what the heck they were asking. One recently in particular was clearly not written by a native English speaker, and I've gotten a good handful that asked questions forcing me to pick from several options, none of which would apply to the average person.

Nonetheless, after a few months, I *did* make it all the way to the TraitScore cap, so now I can say what happens, which is: the little TraitScore surveys do still show up randomly, about as often as always (a few a week), and those still pay 10 cents, for under a minute of survey-filling (not bad). The real surveys show up completely unpredictably (a few a month), and pay well for the amount of time they take (and then you get a small extra, also unpredictable, bonus, for having a high TraitScore). I haven't noticed being sent surveys any more frequently than when my score was lower, though. Still, I cash out *relatively* frequently, for how quick and easy surveys are (even if I do wish they were a bit more frequent), and the payout (via paypal: the best way) always takes them well under 24 hours.

So, I would recommend signing up, cause why not, but I wouldn't expect *huge* money from them.

edit: July 2017, they've recently gotten a little better recently about sending emails, too. Still not all the time, but slightly more often than "literally never". Could still be better about that, but I'm also not complaining. Pay is still just as good as ever.

Slow to a complete stop.

July 17, 2017 by Marc from United States

I decided to sign up for this site as it's the highest rated here on Surveypolice. At first I could see why as I would have questions to answer daily with surveys here and there. After being on Paidviewpoint a few months though my opinion of the site has definitely changed.
$15 is the minimum needed to cash out and that takes months to reach. As I approached that target the surveys and questions stopped completely. I have checked in on the site daily, sometimes several times a day, for the past month and there hasn't been a single survey available. Perhaps it's just coincidence that as I was nearing a point where they would have to pay out my earnings that the surveys stopped? Then again, maybe not.
Would be interested to hear if this has happened to others on the site.

Hello, Marc,

Something sounds wrong. Please write to us at [email protected] since you are anonymous on SurveyPolice.
There could be a simple "Fix" or explanation of the lack of surveys. I assure you, our idea is not to have someone near the $15 cash out threshold and then slow the surveys. We hope you write to us so we can examine your account.

Regards,
Florence
