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.

Why so many good reviews?

September 19, 2019 by Marc from Australia

I just can't see why this site has so many positive reviews. There is an extraordinarily long process of filling out details which, from what I could tell, could literally take months to complete. Maybe if you live in the USA the system works better but for me it turned out to be an utter waste of my time. I deleted my account and will never go back.

Hi Marc,

First of all, thanks for giving us a try from Australia. We do not understand why you feel that we have a long process of filing out details that would take you months to complete. We ask for some demographic information, yes, but that form is short. In the beginning, we do send a lot of surveys asking for product usage, habits, and other traits to determine your consistency, likes, and dislikes. Unlike most survey sites, you are paid for these simple, short questions.

You will not make a lot of money on our site if you wait for email or text invites. We do not send out many of those. However, if you checked our site through out the day for surveys that spontaneously appear (and disappear as surveys are fulfilled by other members) you would make more cash.

And finally, yes, a lot of our clients are looking for responses from members who live in the USA, but some clients look for world wide respondents. We are sorry to hear that you closed your account but we do understand our site may not be for everyone.

Regards,
April

Don't waste your time, should be reported to the BBC

July 29, 2019 by Brian from United States

I fail to see how this site is ranked so high? Since signing up, I've yet to take an actual survey, just the ones that are profile type (which they call 'trait') questions that apparently are supposed to build some kind of goofy 'trust' level and raise you to a level where you get more points. These are worth next to nothing, 10 cents.

Of the 2-3 real surveys I've actually be sent, not been able to take a single one as they put a three hour limit on them which is freaking lame as most people work or have other daily matters where they are not going to be able to check their e-mail constantly to see if this site has an actual survey. (And they give you an insulting screen with a couple of pigeons an a message about 'early birds' getting the survey!) I've even read on here that they don't send out e-mail alerts for every survey, so again, I guess I'm just supposed to check into the site constantly, totally lame. So basically I've thus far earned about what I could earn taking a SINGLE survey on any other site. Yeah, the site does work well, and you do always qualify for and get paid for the trait surveys at least, but it's going to take months to even reach the $15 minimum cash out level. This whole thing seems based around profile than actual surveys and I'm really wondering why waste my time when I could be making more on other sites that have you set up a profile from the start then give surveys you can actually take.
Since writing the above, I've dropped the site, they don't even send out e-mails anymore for anything, so what the hell is the point? Totally lame, waste of time site that should be reported to the BBC

Waste of time outside the US it would appear.

April 26, 2019 by Nick from United Kingdom

UK panelist from April 2017 to March 2019.

Total earnings - $16.01 - not even GBP.

Traitscore maxed out ruling that out a factor, and I pretty much qualified for every survey offered, so it was a shame that they paid so poorly and were so infrequent.

PaidViewpoint responded to this review on April 27, 2019

Hello, Nick,

Yes, we pay in US dollars. This is because we are located in the United States and we state this in our Terms of Service. If we were located in the UK, then we'd offer GBPs.

Yes, surveys can be infrequent if you wait for email invites. Also, most of our clients will use the setting for USA based respondents since those clients are mostly located in the US. Occasionally, our clients will use the world-wide setting, but this is less frequent.

Our cash incentives are driven by many factors in order for us to remain profitable and operational. We have two categories of incentives; pennies to a dime for our in-house TRAIT surveys and much more for our clients' surveys. Most likely, you are answering our TRAIT surveys because you are either not getting many Market Research Surveys from our paying clients or because you are not logging in when a survey is waiting for you to be completed. Surveys appear and disappear from your dashboard as they are fulfilled and expired.

Thanks for giving us a try, anyway. We realize our site will not be a good fit for everyone.

Have a nice weekend,
April
Waste of time

October 15, 2018 by Lizzy from Nigeria

Was told if I achieve a traitscore of 9000 and above, I start earning more on each survey, I have
Achieved 10000 traitscore which they said is the highest but still earning 0.03 cent. Want to know if is not for people living in Nigeria so that I'll stop wasting my time

PaidViewpoint responded to this review on October 15, 2018

Hi Lizzy,

We understand your concerns.

Mostly, our clients are looking for opinions of users living in Canada, USA, and the UK. Occasionally we will receive a request from a client for a worldwide audience but these surveys are more rare.

We appreciate you giving PaidViewPoint a try.

Cheers,
Florence
