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.

Nothing available

May 8, 2021 by Marc from United Arab Emirates

The dashboard always shows me at least 2 surveys, but every time i click on one, it says that i have already attempted it and to try another one. I've not been able to do a single survey since i signed up a few weeks ago, and its quite disappointing.

Greetings for the day!

Marc, please be advised that there are no issues with your PointClub account as such. It may be that there are no surveys matching your profile in your country as of now and if there any in near future, will then be routed to you immediately.

Meanwhile, continue to take benefit of other opportunities listed under tab named 'Offer Board'. (Available only if you reside in USA)

In case of any other doubt(s)/concern(s), you may email them to [email protected]

Best regards,

redeeming points

April 29, 2021 by Charlotte from United States

I have been with this site for more then a year. Just recently I was charged 5000 points to redeem my 25,000 points for Pay Pal, and was told that because it went to pay pal, they had to charge the extra 5000 points. Now I can't even log into the site because it is actually gone. Lost over 70000 points. They don't mention this extra charge when you sign up. I worked for those points.

Greetings for the day!

Charlotte, it is a 2% fee applied by PayPal only for PayPal transfers i.e., only 500 pts that are deducted for a $25.00 PayPal and is equivalent to 25,000 pts.

These deductions done automatically by our servers and leaves behind no chances of any error. However, we would surely like to check for 5,000 pts claimed to have been debited twice, as well as the login part.

You are advised to send us an email to [email protected] giving a reference of this post and we will surely drive it down to a conclusion.

Happy to help!

Invites yes, Surveys no

April 27, 2021 by Valerie from United States

After the first day there were invites popping up in my inbox all the time and no surveys to do. I don't think they're a scam but my experience with them was kind of garbage.

Greetings for the day!

In general, email invites kick off the moment one enrolls with PointClub. However, request you to supply us more info when you say, ‘no surveys to do’.

We would surely like to double check your account for the concern(s) raised and will have our best guys working on it. You are advised to send us an email ([email protected]) giving reference of this post, along with all possible clues pertaining to the issue(s).

Happy to help!

No email response and no cash out.

March 29, 2021 by Mary from United States

I have emailed this place a couple times. No response. I could cash out but no button shows up. I have over 26000 points. Thinking about quitting... I actually need the money that I make worth surveys... I'm trying to give this one a chance. It's hard.

Greetings for the day!

Please be advised that timely replies have always been sent out by us in-exchange of all your emails that came in. In fact, the most recent PointClub reply dated March 25, 2021 was accompanied with screenshots just to make things very easy at your end.

However, if there has been any email floated over a weekend then you are likely to receive a reply on the very next following Monday. Reason because, email support is available throughout weekdays only.

Please do add our email address ([email protected]) to your safe senders list to get emails from us delivered straight to your inbox rather than in the Junk folder. This way you will not miss out on any communication exchanged.

At end, refer to the PointClub reply in today’s date and has been sent with more screens and steps to help you cash out the earned points.

Happy to help!

Great surveys

March 16, 2021 by Heather from United States

I read some bad things about them, but they always answer my questions and they redeem points quickly! The surveys are not too complicated and rewards are reasonable.
