Complete paid surveys on PointClub's website to get paid for your opinions. Earn PayPal cash, gift cards and more for your participation.

Having launched in 2012, PointClub is run by Innovate MR, an independently-owned market research firm with more than 3,500,000 panelists and over 10,000,000 survey completions.

What PointClub Is

PointClub is a website which gives the opportunity for members to earn rewards from answering surveys and participating in other online activities.

Super-Fast Registration Process

Join PointClub with just a few keystrokes using your Facebook or Google account. Alternatively, you may join the traditional way - using your email address. You’ll be asked for your home address (to verify your location) and to receive your first payment check (if located in the USA).

Who Can Join

You can access this website from any country, and there are money-making opportunities for residents of the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands. However, USA residents will find the most opportunities to make side-income from this website and will by far, have the most success with it.

Join and Get up to 5,000 Free Points (Worth $5)

Become a free member of PointClub and jump start your membership by receiving 500 free points credited to your account. Receive points for joining, points for confirming your email, and extra points for completing the short profiling questionnaire, for a total of 5,000 points, or $5.00. This is a particularly generous sign up bonus compared to those offered by most of PointClub’s competitors.

Receive Cash or Gift Cards for Your Participation

By completing surveys and participating in other research opportunities, you will earn points which can be redeemed for PayPal payments or digital gift cards (though your first reward will automatically come in the form of a payment check). You may request a reward with 25,000 points, worth $25, in your account. This is PointClub's minimum cashout. Alternatively, you may request your rewards at the 50,000 ($50), or 100,000 ($100) threshold levels.

• Payment check: The first time you cash out your rewards, you will receive a check in the mail. This is done to verify your address and is the first and only time PointClub will issue a payment check to your address (sent by US mail).

• Earn gift cards: PointClub has over 200 gift card options available that you can exchange your points for. These include Amazon, Tango, Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Macy's, Lowe's, Sephora, Google Play, and many, many more. Visa prepaid cards are also a prize option. You may request a gift card with as little as 25,000 points ($25) in your account. Gift cards are only available as e-gift cards.

• Get paid by PayPal: If you prefer cash, you can opt to receive a $50 cash payment made to your PayPal account. This will require 50,000 points and a 2% withdrawal fee will apply.

Earn Points for Surveys

Every time you participate in a PointClub survey, you will earn points redeemable for gift cards or cash. You can earn anywhere from 200 to 5,000 points per survey completion. Surveys typically take between 5 - 30 minutes to complete. Your points will be awarded once a survey fully closes, so you may have to wait up to 4 weeks before your points are available in your account.

At any time, you can view your current approved points, point status, and points needed for redemption by viewing your PointBank on the sidebar of your account dashboard.

Tons of Survey Opportunities Available

At any time, you may log into your account to view a list of online surveys available for completion. You will also be notified by email when you may qualify for a new survey, but it's a good idea to log into your account regularly to check for opportunities.

Get Points for Screen Outs

If you get screened-out, or disqualified from a survey, PointClub will still credit your account with 12 points after 5 unsuccessful attempts. This counteracts the frustration of spending time on the start of a survey only to be dismissed with no compensation.

Easy Redemptions

Once you have reached the minimum of 25,000 points needed to redeem, a button will appear in the sidebar of your dashboard. A weekly distribution model for rewards is followed so that redemptions requested throughout a week are collated and sent ahead for further disbursal to Club members in the immediate/following week. That means that you should never have to wait more than 7-10 business days to receive a gift card to PayPal reward.

PointsPlus Instant Win

PointsPlus Instant Win is an opportunity to be one of 1800 winners in the instant win sweeps. Earn tokens by completing special selected surveys and filling out information about yourself via profilers. The more tokens earned, the more chances you have at winning.

Earn unlimited tokens daily (via surveys, profilers, and by referring friends who complete at least one survey), or purchase them for 2,000 points each. Up to 5 tokens can be purchased this way. Hidden tokens are also available in your dashboard, so ensure you try filling out surveys even when the PointsPlus Instant Win token icon isn't displayed.

Use up to 10 Tokens per day for your chance to win a prize every week. Prizes include: $50 checks, $25 checks, or 100-5,000 PointClub Points.

PointClub App Download

PointClub does not currently offer an app, however, the website is mobile-friendly and all surveys are designed to be as mobile-compatible as possible.

Is PointClub Legit?

PointClub is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel. Innovate MR, the company who operates the PointClub website, is a highly reputable market research firm that conducts high quality surveys. PointClub has millions of users and has awarded millions of dollars in rewards to their members. Although users of the website may experience varying levels of success with the program (as per the PointClub reviews below), PointClub itself is legitimate.

Eligibility: Everyone worldwide, 18+, however, PointClub is primarily for USA residents.

September 13 Update

It's now been over a month since my last comments on Point club. In this time, they did after several months' pay my $25 claim, but my $50 reward is still outstanding. As this site is still fully operational, I can only advise you to consider your actions before you invest future time on this survey web site. The chances of you receiving a payout remain minimal. (See all previous comments.)

July 2024 UPDATE

As a member of The Point Club since 2020, with several thousand surveys completed I was disappointed to discover that the Point Club is now experiencing serious financial difficulties. I have enjoyed my Club association and at this time I now have two reward payouts pending (valued at a total of $75) that they unfortunately continue to ignore and have refused to honor.

It is understandable how a financial operation such as Point Club can fall upon hard financial times. However, the Club continues to operate its web site and encourage new users to complete the surveys which they are then paid for. Concurrently they now clearly know their member user cannot or will not be reimbursed for their time and effort, then, the Point Club has moved from an area of just poor financial judgement and accounting.

In addition to my unpaid rewards, I now recognize I also have accumulated additional points which I may never be able to redeem. I therefore encourage all existing members to claim any eligible rewards and immediately cease and desist all further associations with the Point Club website.

With the exception of Survey Police there is little or no monitoring of survey websites so you now need to need to cut your losses, curtail your personal effort invested, and seek other survey web activities to invest your time and effort.



PREVIOUS ORIGINAL REVIEW COMMENT

Have been a member for 3 years and completed almost 5,000 surveys. Also received rewards certificates for at least $400 in rewards. Not a lot but I obviously was not in it for the money. However, it would seem it was a big deal to Point Club. LAST YEAR THEY CHANGED THE RULES. Suddenly they throttled my surveys. I would continue to receive surveys for high point values for over a 1000 to 5000 but when I attempted to complete them the first 5 you just got 12 points and then were no longer qualified and received no points at all. I also waited 2 weeks for receipt of my last $50 gift card.

The only surveys they will now let me qualify for are 300 point surveys taking 15 minutes or more. So now if I wish to complete a survey a day for 6 months they will then send me a $50 reward if I am lucky. They are telling me to get lost; but, I have been slow to receive the message. They obviously track your cash received. So if you want rewards you should be able to do this for a year. Perhaps I am not being singled out and they are now treating all of their members in a similar fashion. Bottom line suggest you look for a more reliable site for a long term relationship.

This is a so so site. Some valid surveys and some ripoffs. Getting worse all the time.

August 9, 2024 by Kerwin from United States

I emailed the CEO, Lisa Wilding-Brown, and received my reward today and I received an email from support about a week ago explaining what was happening behind the scenes. Hopefully, PointClub can get back to normal.

July 14, 2024 by Rory from United States

I also had the issue of not receiving payouts.

I finally went to the corporate office for InnovateMR (the parent company): https://www.innovatemr.com/team/

And emailed the CEO, Lisa Wilding-Brown, directly, to let he know of the concerns. And then suddenly my payment was pushed through.

I would suggest doing the same: [email protected]

I have been a member for 5 years. It takes a while to get to the $25 payout. Points take forever to get credited after surveys. In the FAQ page, it says payouts are the following week after cashout. I cashed out 4 weeks ago and sent a message to customer service FOUR TIMES and have received no reply or payout. I will be spreading the word far and wide. I take surveys for over 15 different websites and have for years. Point Club has become the worst of them all. STAY CLEAR unless you want to waste hours on surveys you will not be compensated for.
