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 will allow you to earn just enough points to almost cash out $25 then ban you from surveys without cause.

I have taken surveys with PointClub for several months - probably six or seven. I had earned a $25 gift card four times and was at around 24,500 points (just 500 pts away from another $25 gift card) when my account froze and I got no surveys for about 2 weeks. I contacted them and they said my account had been flagged for fraudulent use. I was so bothered by that - because I am completely honest in my answers, I log in every day and I am just doing what I can to earn extra grocery money. I have not ever tried to manipulate their system or been dishonest.
I totally thought they would review my account, figure out I wasn't cheating and reinstate it. Nope. They emailed me today and said this: "we have chosen to follow the recommendation of our verification services and leave your account deactivated." No explanation as to WHY they think I'm cheating.
What a bunch of creeps. I am so irritated and insulted. And I don't think it's a coincidence that they suddenly decided to deactivate my account when I was just 500 pts away from another giftcard.

UPDATE: I contacted customer service, as they requested. 5 days later - still haven't heard anything and my account is still deactivated. I think their response on this page was just to make it look like they are going to make it right. They haven't. I will gladly update my review if they do. But I'm not holding my breath.

I have been a member of this site for over a year. I never had any issues until recently. About two weeks ago, I noticed I stopped getting surveys. I emailed them to see why I had no surveys and they responded and said my account had been flagged due to suspicious activity. They said they would investigate the matter and get back to me soon. A week passed and nothing. I emailed them again and was told they decided to leave my account suspended. When I asked for specifics as to what type of activity caused my account to be suspended, I got no response. A month ago, I would have given this site 5 stars. Now, not so much. Join if you'd like, but don't plan on a long term relationship.


I reached out to Point Club again when I was contacted by them after leaving a negative review. It's been over a week and still no response and my account is still suspended. What a waste of time!!

Although it takes a while to accumulate the 25,000 points needed to cash out, pointclub pays in 7 days just like they say.

Like most of the other recent posts, I was only 1300 points away from cashing out and they froze my account stating fraudulent activities. This is the third time they have done that to me. The other two times they reopened my account. This time they chose to deactivate me. If you don't have the money to pay honest people for their time then you should close your business down. This is how I make my money and you just took from my pocket. Very disappointing. I am an honest survey taker and have never done anything fraudulent.
