How PaidViewpoint Works

paidviewpoint website

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.

great surveys

July 21, 2017 by DEMETRIA from United States

I really love this website it is very easy to use and the payout is quick.

Easy, but not a lot of cash

July 19, 2017 by Adam from United States

The good: surveys are 100% always directly within this site, so you never have a problem of being sent to some other site that bugs out or doesn't redirect back to pay you properly (and this site itself has not yet ever bugged out during a survey; in fact, the site *itself* is way shinier and with way more of an eye towards usability than most). You also 100% only get sent surveys you qualify for, and surveys are *short*. The longest survey I've ever seen was maybe 6-7 minutes, and it paid pretty well.

The bad: you don't get that many surveys. Importantly, while they *say* they'll email you about new surveys (it's in the UI and everything), apparently, and apparently *intentionally*, which is super weird, they basically never do. I don't understand why they would do that, but having discovered a way to periodically check a page for changes (running that checker *dramatically* increased my earnings on Prolific, which also never lets you know when new surveys post), I turned it on for paidviewpoint as well, and yeah, that helps a lot. (The one I use is called Distill Web Monitor, and it works flawlessly for paidviewpoint. Only works *mostly* for Prolific.)

Also, while the site itself is super shiny, they don't seem to have much of an editing presence on the surveys that come in. Some of the surveys have been great, some have been... not so great in terms of knowing what the heck they were asking. One recently in particular was clearly not written by a native English speaker, and I've gotten a good handful that asked questions forcing me to pick from several options, none of which would apply to the average person.

Nonetheless, after a few months, I *did* make it all the way to the TraitScore cap, so now I can say what happens, which is: the little TraitScore surveys do still show up randomly, about as often as always (a few a week), and those still pay 10 cents, for under a minute of survey-filling (not bad). The real surveys show up completely unpredictably (a few a month), and pay well for the amount of time they take (and then you get a small extra, also unpredictable, bonus, for having a high TraitScore). I haven't noticed being sent surveys any more frequently than when my score was lower, though. Still, I cash out *relatively* frequently, for how quick and easy surveys are (even if I do wish they were a bit more frequent), and the payout (via paypal: the best way) always takes them well under 24 hours.

So, I would recommend signing up, cause why not, but I wouldn't expect *huge* money from them.

edit: July 2017, they've recently gotten a little better recently about sending emails, too. Still not all the time, but slightly more often than "literally never". Could still be better about that, but I'm also not complaining. Pay is still just as good as ever.

Slow to a complete stop.

July 17, 2017 by Marc from United States

I decided to sign up for this site as it's the highest rated here on Surveypolice. At first I could see why as I would have questions to answer daily with surveys here and there. After being on Paidviewpoint a few months though my opinion of the site has definitely changed.
$15 is the minimum needed to cash out and that takes months to reach. As I approached that target the surveys and questions stopped completely. I have checked in on the site daily, sometimes several times a day, for the past month and there hasn't been a single survey available. Perhaps it's just coincidence that as I was nearing a point where they would have to pay out my earnings that the surveys stopped? Then again, maybe not.
Would be interested to hear if this has happened to others on the site.

Hello, Marc,

Something sounds wrong. Please write to us at [email protected] since you are anonymous on SurveyPolice.
There could be a simple "Fix" or explanation of the lack of surveys. I assure you, our idea is not to have someone near the $15 cash out threshold and then slow the surveys. We hope you write to us so we can examine your account.

Thanks so much for your review, MaryAnn!!!!
We tried to make it simple, fast, and attractive. Remember to visit your PaidViewPoint DashBoard through out the day; we don't send invites out on ALL surveys.

I just signed up and already I like it. I'd almost given up on online surveys since lately most of the companies I've tried will offer a survey, ask a ridiculous number of questions that take more than 10 minutes to complete, only to tell me that I don't qualify for the survey so my time was completely wasted. I've already earned money here and look forward to earning more.

We are so happy that you are giving us a try and like us, Helena.
We try to make our trait questions short and easy. Remember, once we learn more about you (this does take a month or two), you should start to see more surveys coming your way. Remember, don't wait for email or sms invites; we don't send out invites on every better-paying survey you qualify for!

Thanks again for the review and happy earnings to you.
