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.

Quick to give you surveys, Slooooow to pay out

July 27, 2019 by John from United States

Used to like this company. However it's deteriorated. They give you plenty of surveys so you can accumulate points fairly quickly, but it takes forever to collect on them. You take the survey but don't get credit until it's "reviewed" by them to make sure it's "legit'. This can often take weeks. Then once you have enough points approved and you go to cash in, it takes forever to pay out. Often a month or more. It's just my opinion but I think they just don't like to pay out and this is a scheme to delay paying out.

Dear John,

Please be advised that a lot many factors are involved in getting rewards delivered, and we've been working hard to get them processed at the earliest.

Going ahead, we would wish to double check your account for the surveys awaiting clearance and reward awaiting delivery, if any. Therefore, request you to 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 your all other concern(s) myself.

Thank you

I have had it!!

July 23, 2019 by Jai from United States

PointClub is the worst survey company I have ever dealt with and I have been doing surveys for many years. This company is slow to pay, they say you should wait for 5 to 7 days to get paid, which is long, but it ends up actually taking over 10 days just to get the money. I have had to contact them multiple times just to get the money I earned, otherwise I am not sure if I will get payed, this is the first company I have ever seen that has this problem. Even the worst survey companies pay on time without problems. They have a sign in streak bonus that credits you for signing in to their site to keep you coming to their site everyday, but it doesn't work sometimes. I would log in sometimes, but I was not credited for the login, and when I contacted them about the log in problem, they just ignored me. I had to contact them multiple times about the problem and the person who finally answered, just told me they did nothing wrong. I don't really qualify for many surveys either, they give you 12 points for each survey you get disqualified for, up to 60 points, but it's not worth it because you need thousands of points to get paid. This company isn't good, at this point, I am just doing surveys until I find somewhere better.

Dear Jai,

Please be advised that rewards are processed on weekly basis and being the first reward from PointClub, it is very much likely to get similar vibes. But that is not the case, as PointClub pays for sure.

Going ahead, we would wish to double check your account for the Streak part. Therefore, request you to 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 your other concern(s) myself.

Thank you

Best in class

July 21, 2019 by Mark from United States

Pointclub is a reliable and great website to earn gift cards and take surveys. The support staff is the best I have seen. They are always responsive and I truly love using there surveys daily. They have a point streak that allows bonus points for daily logins. Best in class in my opinion.

stay away from Point Club

July 15, 2019 by Peggy from United States

Number of issues: as someone else mentioned, I got knocked down a level twice even though I logged in every day. I started to get discouraged because it took so long for surveys to get approved. Another issue is that estimated time for so many of the reviews is way off. Says it might take 15 minutes and it usually takes half an hour. Finally, I have reached $25 (25,000 points) but when I click on Pay Pal button to cash out, nothing happens! I am so mad. I hope I can resolve this and get my $25

Stay Away

I tried this site last year. All I did was waste time looking for surveys. I finally gave up and quit trying!
