REDEEMING REWARDS

13,000 points (worth ~$10) required to redeem rewards. Some rewards require 34,000 points ($25 worth) to request rewards.

Note: On May 1, 2017, MyView merged with its sister sister site, OneOpinion.

MyView is owned and operated by Critical Mix, which was established back in 1996. This panel provides a unique community where panelists can meet others that share the same passions all while taking surveys and earning rewards! Take advantage of this fun, thought-provoking panel.

Unfortunately, MyView is no longer operational. Click the button to discover survey panels that are running and are actively looking for new members!

Gift Cards Galore!

MyView is a gift card lovers haven, as they offer dozens of gift card options from many different retailers including Amazon, Wal-Mart, iTunes, Shell, TJ Maxx, and more. Gift cards typically come in $20, $50, and $100 increments. Some gift cards are mailed to members; others are sent by e-mail in the form of an e-voucher. Minimum redemption is $10.

Cash or Charity Donations

MyView also offers the option to redeem your points towards cash or donations to charity. A PrePaid Visa/Mastercard can be collected once your account reaches $100. Donations can be made to many local charities; the choice is yours!

Receive Points for Disqualifications

MyView offers a generous 100 points for when members attempt surveys but are unable to complete them due to disqualification.

Daily Surveys

Daily surveys are often available to members if they log in to their accounts to check for surveys. Most online survey opportunities will be e-mailed, however those wishing to take additional surveys will find it beneficial to log directly into their accounts to check for available surveys.

Sweepstakes Opportunities

Each month MyView gives away $2000 worth of prizes in the form of one $1000 winner and five winners of $200. All panel members have a chance to win!

Teen Friendly Surveys

This panel offers many teen oriented surveys, as you need to be 13+ to join. This is a great way for teens to make a little bit of extra money and to feel like they are making a difference.

Take Polls, or Even Create your Own

MyView offers the opportunity to explore the panelist community through taking polls. You may even create your own poll question if there is something you want to know.

Eligibility: Select countries accepted, 13+

Terrible - avoid!

November 22, 2015 by Ashley from Australia

I used to make money doing MyView surveys but for about a year I've received NO SURVEYS AT ALL. I have 500 points on my account but without any surveys being sent to me I have no way of cashing in my points because I need 1,000 points to do that. This is a joke! They still send me their stupid Quick Fish surveys, so I know my account is current and up to date, but they NEVER send me a survey that will earn me any more points. I'm going to cancel my account and kiss my 500 hard-earned points goodbye. Avoid MyView!!!

Was great now one of the worst

Used to be my favorite now they have updated their site, wont stay logged in never have any surveys. When you do cash out wow cross your fingers you get your reward. I gave up on trying for Visa cards takes forever if and when you might get them. I'm done with them after I cash out this time. I have been with them over 2 years, maybe longer.

Very dissapointing.

My view is great for sending out lots of surveys and 99% of them have no bugs and work fine. But try claiming a VISA reward in any amount and you will NEVER get one. You will wait the 6 weeks as per their terms but it will not arrive. You can then write in to customer care where they will offer to redeposit your hard earned points into your account so you can begin the process again (wait another 6 weeks for nothing). After two attempts and 12-14 weeks have passed, they will offer to send you payment via paypal. This has happened close to 11 times this year, all the same experience over and over. Im the type to bang my head against the wall because Im too trusting and will wait out my final VISA reward card which likely will never arrive as well and maybe get paid via Paypal in 2 months...otherwise this survey taker is done with My View. Beware.

They don't pay, just give excuses

April 30, 2015 by Darlene from United States

Only use this site if you want to do surveys for free. I cashed out and waited over six weeks to get my gift card which never came. I called and they admitted they never sent it, but will send one immediately from their parent, Critical Mix. That one never came either, and they admitted it was never sent, but, for my trouble, they will send me TWO cards by two-day FEDEX. Well, that never happened either. They are liars and cheats. I am almost ready to cash out again, but I don't have a lot of hope of getting paid for the new or the old cash out.

I gave them ample opportunity to rectify this.

"Looking for a faster option?" Then don't bother with MyView. One year ago, they promised physical Visa gift cards in 7-10 days. This was supposedly a better option than less than 24 hours with an e-card. Their strained logic behind that aside, at some point this became 4-6 weeks. They apparently can no longer deliver in that time frame. I have been in contact with them via email over the last week or so regarding not receiving the promised Visa card- among other things I have been offered a return of my accumulated points to my account (this one was particularly laughable- why would I want my points back? So you could not send me the next thing I order?), a Visa card to arrive in 15 business days (wait, what?- wasn't your original offer "faster" in 7-10 days?), a PayPal payment (I accepted this offer- yet have not received the payment), and finally, the "Looking for a Faster Option" option of a card within 7-10 days. So- wait six weeks, and we might send you a card that will get there in 7-10 days. If this makes you both want to laugh and cry at the same time, you aren't the only one. Buyer beware.
