How PointClub Works

pointclub website

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.

Payment and Rewards

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.

PointClub Advantage All e-gift card deliveries and PayPal payments should take no longer than 7-10 business days to process.

Survey Taking Experience

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.

Points Value: 1000 PointClub Points = $1.00. Therefore, each point is worth $0.0001.

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.

Not Happy

April 23, 2020 by Dave from United States

While they send a lot of surveys, and your points add up it is impossible to get credit for your points, or cash them out, I finally gave up.

Dear Dave,

We regret for the inconvenience caused, if any.

Please be advised that we did not receive any similar report from other members indicating an issue with redemptions.

This is nothing serious and could possibly be a minor change in settings that may be needed or may have been skipped as one of the steps involved when cashing out earned points.

It is a sincere request that you reach out to our customer support team with the subject line "URGENT ATTN: SANA". I would like to get in touch with you and take care of all your concern(s) myself.

Thank you
PointClub Team

I only have good things to say. They pay off how and when they say they will. If you don't quality they do give a token amount to thank you for trying. They seem to be on top of their site and want it to be fun for the user.

This is by far my favorite site!

April 13, 2020 by mike from United States

UPDATE: I've dropped a star of my rating because survey payouts have dropped by 45% (bonus streak is now 10% instead of 100%)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have been a member of this site for 4 months and made over $200. The surveys are well worth your time, and easy to complete. For the most part, the surveys seem to work smoothly. I have had a few surveys that I complete, and don't get credit due to quota or some other issue, and don't for the most part get any credit if I complain, but I can mostly write this off due to the high payout amounts for surveys.. Cashout is subject to some time, so I dinged half a point in my review for both of these issues.

Dear Mike,

We regret for the inconvenience caused by recent changes done.

'Streak Bonus' for sure has been a helping hand in making extra points over and above the actual reward that comes pre-loaded with a survey, and is a 'Variable' component that is always ‘subject to change’.

We've seen it touching the peak of all conversions, but at the same time, we do need to match-up with the current pace of other factors in consideration.

The streak level stays intact, until you do not miss out signing in on an odd day and is just that the Percentile Benefit from it has been curtailed.

Hence, the bonus is still there for every PointClub member!

Thank you

Stopped payouts

April 8, 2020 by Matthew from United States

I have been a member for couple years now. They have great amount of surveys,and always payed out, until now. March 17 I requested payout, normally takes 10 days. I emailed them, said due to situation they are not sure when payouts will be made. I lost my job due to covid, any amount of money will help, especially money I earned.
