How PaidViewpoint Works

Earn Cash Taking Surveys

Paidviewpoint gives survey takers around the world the opportunity to participate in paid studies on their surveys platform. Becoming a member is free and only takes a few minutes.

PaidViewpoint is built upon 4 principles:

  • Cash for every completed market research survey. No points, chances or tickets.
  • No screen outs without a cash reward once you've been invited into a survey.
  • A carefully crafted survey taking experience that's clear, fun, and engaging.
  • Privacy is respected and personally identifiable information is not sold to anyone.

Take surveys from a visually attractive, engaging platform where you can uniquely customize your survey taking experience by choosing from three website themes (light, dark, and retro).

New Member Cash Bonus

When you join PaidViewpoint, you'll be invited to complete 2 welcome surveys which pay 50 cents each. These will ask you fill in registration and demographic information, matching you better to survey opportunities. Completing both surveys means a new member cash bonus of $1.00.

Joining is easy and free and can be done using your e-mail address, or by connecting your Google or Apple account. An activation code is not required to receive the $1.00 sign up bonus - once you fully register and complete both of the short surveys, you will see the amount instantly credited to your account.

Survey Taking Experience

How PaidViewpoint Determines How Much You'll Earn Per Survey

Select the surveys you're interested in completing based on expected reward range and expected length of survey. Which surveys you participate in and which you don't, is always your choice!

Every survey gets a fixed amount of cash allocated to the respondents who answer the questions. That pot of money is divided up between the respondents based on their TraitScore. Adjustments are made to level the playing field so that newer members of PaidViewpoint are treated equally well as compared to longstanding members. The respondent pool is divided into groups and the higher-level groups get paid more for each survey answer.

Payment Options

PaidViewpoint offers online surveys in exchange for cash and gift cards. All cash-out payments are made through Paypal or their partner, Virtual Incentives.

  • Receive your first payment with a $15.00 USD balance in your account. Your second rewards redemption can be made with $10 in your account, and all subsequent redemptions can then be made with just $5 worth of earnings in your account if your account is in good standing.
  • Receive your reward within 72 hours of request.
  • Reward options include PayPal payments (all countries), or e-gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, and more (for members in the USA, UK, and Canada).
  • If you are located outside the USA, you will be paid to your PayPal account in US dollars. Gift cards will be converted into your local currency (from USD) and are available in $5 and $10 denominations.

Maximize Your Gains with Active Participation

Here's a tip: Stay engaged! Make a habit of logging in to the PaidViewpoint website regularly to seize the best-paying survey opportunities. No need to wait for emails—dive right in and watch those earnings grow.

Use a Magic Link to Access your Account

PaidViewpoint offers the convenient option of being able to log into your account using a 'magic link'. Instead of having to type in your password to access your account, simply enter in your email on the PVP website and PaidViewpoint will e-mail you a magic link that upon clicking, will automatically log you in to your account.

How to Get More Surveys

Getting Notified for New Surveys

Paidviewpoint doesn't always send an e-mail notification to members when a new survey becomes available. Instead, surveys are posted to user dashboards. Upon logging in, you will see a message at the top of your user dashboard which will list the number of surveys available. PaidViewpoint recommends logging into your account regularly to be able to take these higher paying surveys, versus waiting for an e-mail invitation.

Increase Your TraitScore and Earn More

PaidViewpoint's patent-pending TraitScore system was invented to assess the candour and consistency of survey respondents and to incentivize these characteristics. The higher your TraitScore, the more you can earn per survey. A high TraitScore allows you to receive the maximum number of surveys per month.

9000 TraitScore Importance: Achieve a TraitScore of 9000 to become part of the top 10% of members who earn more for each research survey!

Referral Program

PaidViewpoint offers a generous referral program where you will earn 20% of what your referrals earn for taking research surveys. In other words, earn 20% from your referrals when they take surveys other than "Traits Surveys". You can have an unlimited number of referrals and can earn up to a lifetime maximum of $25 per referral. If you can refer friends from the USA in particular, you will likely find you can earn more.

VIP Community Builders

For members who can generate large numbers of referrals, PaidViewpoint offers a VIP Community Builder Club. The benefit of the Club is that you'll be credited with 20% of a referred user's earnings immediately after they complete a survey, without having to wait to be credited until a referral actually cashes out their earnings.

To get this privilege, you must have 100+ ACTIVE friends/referrals. Active means your referrals have been a member for more than 30 days and must be visiting the site and completing surveys on a regular basis.

Is PaidViewpoint Legit or Scam?

Is Paidviewpoint Legit?

It's barely appropriate to even question whether Paidviewpoint is legit or a scam. PaidViewpoint is operated by AYTM (Ask Your Target Market) - a legitimate and well-regarded market research company with millions of members worldwide. They offer legitimate surveys to their respondents and pay them on time.

Although some users may have varying levels of success with the website (i.e. international users may find it difficult to find full paying surveys; surveys that pay more than $0.03 'trait surveys'), it doesn't mean that the panel itself is illegitimate, never mind a 'scam'. Paidviewpoint is a safe, secure, online surveys website.

Eligibility: Available in 50 countries worldwide. Must be 13+ (16+ in the EU) to participate.


Note: McAfee antivirus has been known to mistake PaidViewpoint as a "phishing" website. You can ignore this warning.

Slowly but shirley, I mean surely.

June 23, 2023 by Rick from United States

Update: It took awhile, but I finally hit payday. I which I could complete more surveys, but there is no problems with any that I do complete.

I finally reached max trait score of 10,000. This was suppose to mean I would get more surveys - actually I am getting less.

I can't believe how high it's rated. In one year I received points for only six surveys. I made a payout almost solely on trait points. It must be me or my age.

05/15/2018 Cancelled the site.

10/31/2020 - After seeing Surveypolice's high rating I decided to try again.

06/04/2020 - So far it's doing better, but still not worthy of the high review

6/20/2023 - Pace has increased in the last year, it's now a pretty good site.

Deserving as ever!

June 21, 2023 by Ingrid from United States

3/8/2023: This site continues to exceed my expectations. Unlike many other survey administrators, all the little changes PVP folks make to the platform over time enhances the site even more. What I've said before bears repeating....these people and their site are top-notch!
.....................................................................................................
7/13/2021: It's been about 1 year since I last reviewed PaidViewPoint and I stand by my assessment more than ever. There are not enough stars in the rating system to properly express how much I value this survey site and the manner in which they conduct themselves.

Update 7/5/2020: I have updated my review several times since presenting my first opinion of PaidViewpoint. Of all those in which I participate, it continues to be one of the most reliable, consistent, and accurate survey sites (and I participate in a bunch). The team that runs it does so with judicious care, mindful oversight, and a touch of humor. Rewards are processed with expedience. Multiple stars, thumbs up, and kudos are more deserved than ever.
..................................................................................................................
Original review: I have read mixed reviews on this site. People seem to either consider it a scam because they're not getting email invites as they expect or they're unhappy with how long it takes to reach the reward level. Occasionally I had issues with emails ending up in my spam folder or incorrectly blocked so that I missed them altogether. I was able to resolve that problem by clearing cache/cookies, updating my email, etc.....not the fault of the site) and I get several email invites every week now. As to the reward-per-survey (average of 10 cents, sometimes a bonus), I think it commensurate with what the surveys ask you to do. The questions are simple, the survey lengths are short, and I have yet to encounter anything in them that even remotely taxes my brain. If you're looking for fast cash and a lot of it, then the site is not a good choice for you. Personally, I'm the sort who sets aside loose change and watches it add up so PaidViewPoint works just fine for me. Once I reach them, the payouts are prompt and accurate.

Update 4/28/2017: This panel is still among my favorites and even more so when I compare it to other panels to which I belong. A lot of them have changed payout levels, earning conditions, and reward offers...and not for the better. PaidViewPoint continues to do what I liked about it in the first place and with a delightful sense of humor.

Update 6/20/2019 - I reviewed this panel in 2017 and two years later, they still rate 5 stars with me. Would give them 10 if I could! Earnings per survey may not look significant if you're focused on making a fast profit but they add up in a slow-and-steady fashion. The surveys are short, well-presented, no-nonsense, and easy to complete on the site. As you build up your 'trust level', you're offered more frequent surveys with higher value attached. Payouts are fast and efficient. Can't say enough good things about PaidViewpoint.

Over $638 Bucks!

June 21, 2023 by Katheryn from United States

To date, I have made $638 bucks from Paidviewpoint!! The longer I am with them, the more I get paid! Today 5 bucks for one little survey! It all adds up for sure and it is a fun way to earn.
PVP is THE BEST out there. I used to do all kinds of surveys besides PVP, but I quit them b/c they were not anything I wanted to donate hours and hours to. I stuck with the winner here and every time I get a survey I am happy to answer in minutes! I love the fact that it is short and one earns at least 10 cents every time. It gets faster as time goes on with more new and interesting surveys.I have also been introduced to new products that I have actually found later in the store!
Well, leave all the rest, come to the best, and tell them Kat sent ya!

Love this site!

June 21, 2023 by Phil from United States

I have gone through quite a few survey sites. If they are more trouble than they are worth, I delete them, but Paid Viewpoint is definitely one of my top choices. The surveys started slow, but became more frequent as I completed them. They are easy to do, and I can do them as easily on my phone as I do on my laptop. Great site!

Thanks for the review, Phil! As you've noticed, the more active you are, the more surveys you are able to receive.

EXCELLENT

June 21, 2023 by Kathy from United States

It's about time we had a survey site that made us comfortable to complete surveys, The surveys are short, to the point, and you are always rewarded. No hype, no repeat questions, just short, to the point, surveys. I wish I had found them sooner.
