Complete paid surveys on PointClub's website to get paid for your opinions. Earn PayPal cash, gift cards and more for your participation.

Having launched in 2012, PointClub is run by Innovate MR, an independently-owned market research firm with more than 3,500,000 panelists and over 10,000,000 survey completions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PointsPlus Instant Win

PointsPlus Instant Win is an opportunity to be one of 1800 winners in the instant win sweeps. Earn tokens by completing special selected surveys and filling out information about yourself via profilers. The more tokens earned, the more chances you have at winning.

Earn unlimited tokens daily (via surveys, profilers, and by referring friends who complete at least one survey), or purchase them for 2,000 points each. Up to 5 tokens can be purchased this way. Hidden tokens are also available in your dashboard, so ensure you try filling out surveys even when the PointsPlus Instant Win token icon isn't displayed.

Use up to 10 Tokens per day for your chance to win a prize every week. Prizes include: $50 checks, $25 checks, or 100-5,000 PointClub Points.

PointClub App Download

PointClub does not currently offer an app, however, the website is mobile-friendly and all surveys are designed to be as mobile-compatible as possible.

Is PointClub Legit?

PointClub is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel. Innovate MR, the company who operates the PointClub website, is a highly reputable market research firm that conducts high quality surveys. PointClub has millions of users and has awarded millions of dollars in rewards to their members. Although users of the website may experience varying levels of success with the program (as per the PointClub reviews below), PointClub itself is legitimate.

Eligibility: Everyone worldwide, 18+, however, PointClub is primarily for USA residents.

They are the worst of the worst in terms of being honest and fair during the payment process. It took me about 3 months to finally reach their ridiculous cash-out limit of $25 on the 5/25/18. One would think, after toiling so long and hard to complete their stupid surveys, they will at least pay those who reach the quota, immediately. I am still waiting for my hard-earned $25 now 15 days later on 6/10/18. They had the gall to shift blame on PayPal whom we all know will alert someone if fraud, incoming or outgoing payment is process through their very highly advanced encryption systems. If they were honest and not scamming innocent survey takers, they will not have a ridiculous high cash out limit of $25 that take months to reach if you are lucky and then to add insult to injury, throw blame on PayPal which is a lie, stall and stall and stall for weeks before they pay. I am on my 15 day of wait time while they find more excuses not to pay what i have toiled over for months taking surveys. Please read the poor ratings and complaints on BBB and lots of negative online reviews. Please Stay Away. Not Worth The Time.

[UPDATE AND FOLLOW UP]
Well i left my review of Point Club recently and i also complaint on their Facebook page when they held my payment hostage for too long. I already said what i had to say, but what i am doing now is pointing out how far down the drain some companies will go to stop someone from revealing their flaws and opening the eyes of the desperate sheep that still hope things will get better. After i complaint and complaint and complaint, i finally got my payment, but it came at a price known as Being Censored. I can no longer leave a comment or like, dislike + respond to what other members said on their Facebook page. Three of my friends, who backed me up on Facebook, are also censored from leaving comments on Point Club Facebook page. Maybe they think we were making too much sense when we warned the other members to think about how ridiculous it is for a survey company to milk us out of our valuable data 24/7, keep the points hostage and pending for weeks and months, then to make things worst, keep the cash-out payment pending for as long as they can get away with it. One would think if a survey company allows a minimum cash out of $25, which takes at least 3 months to achieve if we are lucky, then at least they will gladly pay on time, when a member finally reaches the finish line. Censoring someone from leaving a comment is a Red Flag which says a lot about their credibility.

the times on the surveys for this site are FICTION, I just accessed a SUPPOSED five minute study, at least that is what the dashboard on my account said, I was asked to view FIVE videos, four TWO minute videos and one FIVE minute video on solar panels

That means, with out answering a single question after the videos, which of course there were, no HONEST person could say this study is LESS THAN 13 minutes

But not POINT CLUB, someone there, deemed this a five minute study

DO NOT BOTHER with this site, the times are meaningless, and if they cannot provide HONESTY, why should panelists

I have been with point club surveys for a while and I used to do surveys every so often until recently I was very active and I have submitted enough surveys to cash out but my last 2 surveys that are pending still haven't been approved even though it is past the 2-6 week mark. Before this within 2 weeks my points were approved now that I'm close to redeeming my points they are still pending. I have read that they will leave them there for over a year and not review them which I don't know what I can do to prevent that from happening I have wrote them multiple times and out of curiosity I made a new account and sent a message about something different and was immediately responded to within days through email. So it clear this site is not standing on their word, also every other survey site can immediately give you your incentive for whatever survey you complete but this one and I don't understand what could be taking this long.

My review title says it all. The majority of the surveys you won't qualify for, which is frustrating and a waste of time.

UPDATE: If I ever get to cash out, it will be the end of this survey website for me. I will not be doing any more surveys with them.

June 23, 2023 by LISA from United States

Their latest response is an automated nothing. It's the same automated response they last gave. Obviously they have no intention of giving a real answer let alone paying me my reward. Mid January I redeemed points for a gift card reward. I have emailed several times. At first they assigned ticket numbers - I got two. Now they do not acknowledge my emails let alone respond. And, yet they still send me survey invitations which I ignore since they ignore me. I've been a member of this panel for several years and this is the first time I've had a problem redeeming points. I've been ghosted.

March 18, 2023 - As you can see from my original review of this site, they finally responded to that review. So, I took them up on their offer and replied reminding them of the case numbers they assigned to my complaint about not issuing my reward for the points redeemed in January. Still no reward or response.
