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.

No Rewards

July 6, 2024 by Diana from United States

I have been a member of this site for a number of years was able to cash out but, not now have sent numerous e-mails of course no response. I think it is very unfair to want people to take surveys and then when they want a reward you have not response. I opted for Paypal and Amazon rewards. Step up and be honest give those of us what we opted as rewards.

Brutal

June 25, 2024 by Steve from United States

Where to start? I have more than 30 pending surveys, some for more than 2 months. I have over 20 surveys which I was cheated out of points on. I have been waiting for almost 2 months for them to process my Pay Pal reward. No customer service on their Facebook page. No response from their "customer service team" (they promise a response within 24 hours) in more than a year and a half. I have even sent letters in the mail and no response. They are not listed (big surprise!) with Better Business Bureau. I am seriously considering making them appear in small claims court.

horrible customer service

June 9, 2024 by Gunta from United States

Horrible service. Don't respond to messages. I have points to redeem and cant redeem them. They keep sending surveys which I complete so I am keeping up my end of the deal.
help me to get a response.

FANCY WEBSITE

May 23, 2024 by Bret from United States

stay away from this site, it tricks you into takings surveys but when you go to collect or redeem your points, you're left hanging in the wind. I attempted to redeem some points on 4/20/2024 and as of 5/23/2024 have not been rewarded yet and went to customer service site twice to find out where my reward was and all I got was crickets.

Problems...

May 3, 2024 by Aaron from United States

...I have a few issues outstanding with them and they don't respond to my emails. Ever since they updated the website it only lets me qualify for a few surveys. In February, I only was able to complete 1 survey after trying everyday. Additionally, I have 2 outstanding surveys from November that I have not received credit for and numerous attempts to have the points pass through have not been successful because my emails are not answered. I have been a panelist for many years so this is disappointing.

...after my post here from early March, my outstanding surveys from last year were finally credited and today I received my first $25 cash out of the year to PayPal. So, after 3+months of trying surveys every day on this panel and earning the daily 60 points for trying, I've earned $25. Two years ago, I earned about $300 on this panel for the year.
