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.

There are better ways to earn money

September 5, 2018 by Stephanie from United States

This website is not good. I've done quite a few paid survey sites and this is by far the worse. Long story short, I did the work and never got the money for it. You'll wait months for pending points to get approved and then never get your money once you cash out. Sending messages to the help center will do nothing. Stay away and use legitimate websites like swagbucks or vindale instead. It's been over 6 weeks and I have yet to get my money. Really sad that sites like this exist.

Pending Points?

September 4, 2018 by Laina from United States

Seriously? Pending points? That's crap! Today makes 2 weeks that I've been waiting for 4,710 points to be added to my account. If PC keep using this stupid and useless pending points method, it's going to take me MONTHS to get a single card!

They need to fix this crap and do something better, because this is NOT working. I'm not going to wait for MONTHS to get a SINGLE card. That's just WASTING MY TIME and the REST OF THEIR MEMBERS TIME. They need to get their act together, because this is ridiculous.

At the VERY least, they should LOWER or add gift card cash outs to $5 or $10. At this rate, it'll probably be six months before I can get my $25 Barnes and Noble gift card, and that's just stupid.

I'm not gonna wait six months for ONE stupid gift card. That's just crazy.

survey

September 2, 2018 by kim from United States

this is a great site i love it and it is good at surveys and it does pay out PayPal when you get your points i never had any issues what so ever with this place love it

They don’t pay

August 21, 2018 by Marie from United States

I am at level 6 and was able to qualify for and get approved for survey points. On August 4th I requested a $25 PayPal payment. Last week I emailed asking what the turnaround time is for payment. I was assured I’d get paid by the end of the day. I checked the following day and still no payment. I’ve been emailing every couple days and check the status of the tickets. Each time the tickets are listed as “resolved” but I still haven’t received payment. Each time I email them I do get a prompt, albeit glib response promising me that I’ll get paid st the end of the day. I’d avoid them, especially since finding out from this site that Pointclub offered a credit in exchange for posting a positive review. They seem sketchy.
