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

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.

I have told them their email doesn't work but here a year later and nothing.
Error Icon
Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to [email protected] because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.
They just sent me an email with a broken link and when I used the response email listed on their site, it said that mailbox isn't monitored, use this one. They also don't have a "contact" button even though they say they do.

I reviewed the comments on this site and was not surprised to see several that represent my concerns with PointClub.

1) The canned and repetitious responses from PointClub to many of the questions do not address the concerns voiced by individuals.
2) The new Bonus Rewards makes very little difference in the total points awarded. Once upon a time the Bonus Rewards equaled the survey points based upon the number of consecutive days up to 100%.
3) There is no real incentive to keep taking surveys since the percentage has been cut so dramatically. In the past I have suggested that, in addition to the meager 10% now offered as the top percentage for consecutive days participation, an additional one time reward be given based upon levels of consecutive days AND survey participation...example for fairness to the PointClub and Survey Taker would be at least FIVE surveys attempted each day. Possibly after 365 consecutive days, an additional one time reward of 10,000 points be given; after 730 consecutive days a one reward of 25,000 points be given; etc.
4) I am also frustrated with surveys that gather a huge amount of information (example: Survey completion 90%) and then ask a question that is too personal to answer; I am dropped from the survey. I am extremely disappointed by surveys that require Name, Email address 'to verify' who I am. This information is asked after the survey has almost been completed.
5) I understand that taking surveys is not a method of making a great deal of money. However, the decrease in bonus rewards and the amount of time to take surveys has become an issue. The PointClub image shows 10 minutes yet once into the Survey Page, the survey will take 20 or 25 minutes according to the information provided on the real survey page.

Yes, you can make a few dollars by taking surveys and you will eventually be paid. However, the format change instituted by PointClub several months ago has taken away from the fun of taking surveys on PointClub. It now takes twice as long to accrue points and the pay period seems to also take twice as long to receive the payment.
I hope it is simply 'Growing Pains' for PointClub but the frustration may reach a level that causes many to drop out. This will result in EVERYONE losing.
Ideally, the PointClub will return to the previous format but that is something that the survey taker has no control over.

I have utilized the PointClub survey program for about 3 years. In the beginning, they were great, and it was an enjoyable offering that I could participate in with my morning coffee. Slowly over the 3 years the whole process started to deteriorate.
First the stated time for survey completion started to become consistently understated e.g. 500 points for a 15-minute survey that actually took 35 minutes.
Point awards for surveys were changed to “issued when approved” initially stating that it could take up to 30 days but now up to 6 weeks in the user guide. In reality it takes 6 weeks at minimum but usually more like 8 weeks during which time, I would send notes to their support team.
After you have a cycle of, I believe 100 consecutive days of participation you used to receive 100% bonus of awarded points. That was changed without notice to a 10% bonus. Numerous requests to the support team only resulting in poorly written responses with numerous incoherent sentences. Finally, a note came saying it was only a temporary change which proved to be a false statement.
Awards for “approved” points according to the program guide should be issued within 5 to 10 days. My most recent took 28 days and was issued after 3 requests for issuance. If the points are approved, why can’t the gift card be issued in a day or 2.
At this point, I am packing it in, it is not enjoyable or worth my time to spend an hour of my time to complete 2 to 3 surveys netting me about $3 to $4 max and then have to wait 2 months or more for an award to be finally issued.
