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.

Waste of time

March 30, 2020 by Judy from United States

What a total waste of time! I fled as soon as points kept getting taken away. Any excuse to take away a person's points. There should be no timeline, ridiculous.

Dear Judy,

We regret for the inconvenience caused, if any.

Our goal is to provide the most accurate data to our survey sponsors. Hence, any deviations to the set/required parameters leads to Disqualification or points being Invalidated.

With due respect, we at no point of time have the intention of taking away points from members, till the time any severity is/are recorded in the answers supplied and that may further lead to rejection from survey(s).

Please be rest assured, we keep you all backed up by maintaining an adequate supply of surveys. Doing this, helps in targeting a greater number of completes and that in turn leads to quick compensation of points you may lost through unsuccessful attempts.

It is requested 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 double check for your concern(s) myself.

Thank you
PointClub Team
Don't waste your time.

February 28, 2020 by Mitchell from United States

I did this site for a little while but found out quick there slow and have a few problems as well. First there surveys take too long and this i can prove. I do the same kind of survey on other sites make more and only spend half the time most of the time with points place i don't even qualify for the survey. There site isn't very user friendly and how do yo do a survey from start to finish and fail it guess they got those for free.. Doing this site i can't make anything and all i'm wanting to do is make Christmas a little better for my family. So at this point i just got to leave them.

My review is short but it'll give you a idea of how they are if you do desire to join them be careful i can't say anything good about them.

We're always in a continuous process of making things better and will surely consider the concern(s) raised by you for further improvement.

Going ahead, you're requested to reach out our customer support team with the subject line "URGENT ATTN: SANA". I would like to get in touch with you and double check your concern(s) myself.

First Stop of the Day - NOT ANY MORE

February 27, 2020 by Crystal from United States

2/27/2020 I rarely use this site anymore. They don't fix the NO-PAYS, they want a survey number, so you'd have to write it down before every survey because y'all don't tell us how to find it. When you do finish a survey it no longer tells you, you've got to make sure you were paid. Every Time I do a survey for this company I PRAY it goes through. You click on a 7 minute survey that immediately turn into a 15 minute survey, finish it and was NOT PAID; Great way to wake up and start my day. I am very disappointed in the way this site is running; it seems to be getting worse. I use to have hundreds of dollars pending with them and that's down to nothing as I can't constantly be told to be honest when they aren't honest with us. Customer service will circle you around any no-pay and nothing gets done. I will no longer be stopping here until the end of the day, if I feel like it, because I don't want to get upset on a beautiful Monday morning and I'm sick of PRAYING that the surveys I do go through. Good Luck to you Point Club, I hope you make some positive changes. Until then...

Point Club: I will let you know when I come across anymore of these and email them to you with the header you requested. Thank you for getting back to me.

EDIT: I have found a glitch in this panel. If a survey tells you to follow a link off of the page, you look for a definition, or for any other reason leave the survey you WILL NOT GET PAID; the survey won't even show up in your log. They are aware of this and NEVER MENTIONED IT? I had so many no-pays because of this. I still like their panel, but they have been irresponsible on their part to fix these glitches.

Point Club is the first site I visit in the mornings. Once you get to level 10 by checking in for 100 days you get double the points. There is rarely a survey for less than $1.00; I try to do 10 surveys a day M-F for $1.00 or more giving me at least $50 a week. They now have surveys all day that are worth $1.04 each! I don't mind waiting for the surveys to get approved as not everyone puts in the same effort. I usually get about $25 from Point Club every month...this month it's going to be $50! Problems with surveys are not common, and I have always been rewarded.. for the couple of issues I had over the past 18 months. Great company to work with. I think they pay higher than most survey sites and have great customer service; this site is definitely worth working for! Their disqualifications are quick too, so your not wasting much time with that.

Dear Crystal,

Thank you for your esteemed feedback and we would surely like to work upon the areas of improvement brought to our attention.

Minor issues with surveys/missions as stated, were already being investigated and recent changes done from our end have gradually started giving improved results. For sure, you'll now experience increased conversion as it was earlier.

It is a sincere request that the next time you come across a similar situation, reach out to our customer support team with the subject line "URGENT ATTN: SANA". I would like to get in touch with you and double check it myself.

Thank you

Okay when it works, but if it's not broken, don't fix it!

February 23, 2020 by Brian from United States

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this site at the moment. It's fine when it works, and good at getting surveys and rewards. But every time it updates with unneeded features, elements of the site don't work for me and it takes days to get things back running smooth. My advice to Point Club is, if it's not broken, don't fix it! All the sci-fi graphics in the world aren't going to help if the basic run of the site keeps fouling up.

Dear Brian,

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

The new looks/changes infused are to make PointClub website look more exciting and interesting, so that one does not lose the charm by following an old graphic model.

At times, changes done may require a quick Tune-Up to be done in your web browsers settings, so as to adapt with all the inclusions. Clearing of cache/cookies from your web browser settings and ensuring pop-ups are not blocked may sort it all.

However, we request that you reach out 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
