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.

Awful Awful Panel!

November 10, 2017 by Henk from United States

I have done many panels, and am always thorough in answering surveys, polls etc. I also try to be part of the community of the panel if the panel allows or encourages it. I was saving up for over 6 months because this panel I came to find took an excessively long time to earn a reward threshold. Everything was fine until I hit the $25 threshold which is the lowest amount you can claim. Literally 24 hours after my survey which brought me to the $25 mark my account was put on "hold" for internal review. I literally had to send 5 emails to receive a response, in which they claimed they were investigating my account for fraudulent answers while taking surveys, they claimed the process could take 6-8 weeks. I haven't heard anything from them, and don't expect to. Stay away.

Awesome site

November 4, 2017 by chantelle from United States

I joined PointClub just a few months ago and cashed out for $25 Amazon. Got an e-card quickly and without problem. You won't always qualify for surveys but if you get into the habit of at least logging in every day how much you get paid goes up as you level up. I am a level 10 and take a few seconds every morning to maintain that status.
They also give you 12 points for attempting your first handful of surveys each day...and you can get a code from Facebook to enter to win points every day. Plenty of surveys so the opportunities are there for sure.
I highly recommend this site and former review(s) are outdated...they have more rewards than paypal to choose from.

NON PAY

October 6, 2017 by RANDALL from United States

This is a non pay site, they have flat out stopped paying, have had a paypal cashout request for pending for weeks, they have responded to my complaints by emailing me 4 times that the payout would be sent and it never has been, they will not pay and are absolute liars.

Gone Downhill

October 3, 2017 by Kristi from United States

I've been a member for a year and earned enough to cash out three times in the first few months. I last cashed out in May and now my earnings are stuck. I haven't had a survey opportunity show up at all for three months, and I rarely play the games because I don't seem to get ads to even get a few points there. This started out as a way to get a little spare change and now it's pretty much a waste of time.
