KEY FEATURES:

Viewsbank is a social forum where you get paid to complete surveys, projects and Mystery Shopping assignments on a range of subjects and industries. In addition to your regular paid work, you can create and vote on Polls, or join the Viewsbank conversation in community Groups.

The Viewsbank panel and website is owned and operated by Consumer Intelligence - an independent research company that has been providing customer and competitor insight since 2003.

Registration Process

Fill out the registration form and within 48 hours you will receive a series of 5 surveys that will narrow down what types of research projects you will be invited to.

Exciting Research Opportunities

Viewsbank offers a variety of ways to earn rewards. Within the registration process, check off which types of studies you are willing to participate in. As a member, don't forget to keep in mind that all projects are first come first serve, so the sooner you confirm your spot the better.

• Online Surveys: New surveys are available on a weekly basis.
• Mystery Shopping: May be done online, on the telephone, or in-person.
• Home Research: Complete easy at home tasks and in return receive a reward.
• Online Focus Groups: May be done on a group call or in a chat room. Focus groups provide the largest rewards for participation.

Note that assignments come as a first come first served basis, and some assignments, like mystery shopping have very limited availability, so act fast if you gain an invite!

Social Website!

Viewsbank prides themselves in being a "social website", where members are encouraged to interact with one another. Members can vote on polls and join groups with like-minded individuals for debates and discussions. There is also the option to create your own poll, which you can get paid for! Polls that become popular within the first three days of being released will be rewarded with £10. If a poll that you voted on begins to trend, then you will collect 1p. Learn more about polls in the "poll rules" section of the website.

Earn Cash & Prizes

Most of the time when you complete a research project, you will receive a cash payment directly into your account. Some studies offer entries into prize draws for cash or other items. Surveys are usually paid in cash or prize draw entries which appear within your member account, whereas mystery shopping or at home projects are mainly rewarded with direct payment.

Earn Between £15 - £20 a Month!

Payments are calculated on the last day of each month. A minimum of £12 must be accumulated before members can redeem towards a reward. Payment is usually transferred via PayPal.

Any earnings accrued during a month are paid on the second Tuesday of the following month, provided that the threshold has been reached. Any earnings below the threshold amount will be carried over to the following month. You will only be paid for earnings that have accrued during the previous calendar month. Any earnings accrued after the end of the month but before payday will be paid the following month, again provided you are over the £12 threshold.

The Unique Quote Research Project

The Unique Quote Research Project is an ongoing research study conducted by Viewsbank. Earn extra cash by participating in this project, as each time your information is used, you will collect a £5 cash reward.

Eligibility: Open to UK residents only

I did two months of research and had £20 in my account and two days before the payment was due, they blocked my account without giving any reason or prompting, which has to make one suspect that they were trying to refuse to pay you

Awful. Lots of racists, abuse & downright horrible people. Surveys are few & far between. Would not recommend.

I made over 16 GBP taking surveys and it has blocked my account with no reason. I emailed them twice but they did not bother to reply. Kind of these survey sites just rubbishes and too away from professionalism. They work with no respect or ethic. Viewsbank is just waste of time. Stay away from it.

I'm not one for giving 'half a star' reviews unless the site really is a complete scam. In saying that, Viewsbank clearly isn't a scam, it has just gone downhill very rapidly.

I was pennies away from the threshold rate of £6, until suddenly and randomly, they changed it to £12. Fair enough, all sites have their own payout rates, but considering Viewsbank only give you surveys worth pennies - literally, I have been taking 2 question surveys for 4p - it will take you years to get to £12. The £6 I have only just reached has taken me just under 12 months to earn!

I contacted the site, annoyed as I had just reached the £6 mark, and they replied that the change had been advertised on their site. For one thing, Viewsbank should have emailed every single one of their members who have been mislead. For another, when they say 'advertised', they mean wrote about in their blog which lets be real - nobody reads. Clearly lots of people had emailed with the same problem as the blog post got flooded with annoyed panel members saying that they were done with the site. They have actually taken down the blog post now with no indication of having listened to its members.

In the blog post they said quite proudly that they were still a site with one of the lowest redemption rates. This is fair enough (although I can think of LOADS with lower than £12) but I can reach £100 with another site on a higher payout rate, a lot faster than I can with Viewsbank on a lower one.

All in all, I am disgusted with the change and can't believe that a site that already is much lower quality than others, can justify cheating their members out of their own hard EARNED cash. When we joined the site, we were told one thing, and now we are being given another.

I do not recommend this site to anybody who does not wish to be taken advantage of.
