Paidviewpoint is a paid surveys website where you can earn PayPal cash and gift cards for answering online surveys.

PaidViewpoint is operated by aytm.com (Ask Your Target Market) and with your help, AYTM is revolutionizing the market research industry by making quality market research easily accessible and affordable to businesses large and small everywhere.

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.
  • Respect for your privacy and never selling your personally identifiable information 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 two welcome surveys which each pay 50 cents each. They’ll ask you to fill in registration and demographic information to better match you with survey opportunities. Completing both surveys means a new member cash bonus of $1.00.

Joining is free, easy, and can be done using your email address, or by connecting your Google or Apple account. No activation code is required to receive the $1.00 sign up bonus—once you fully register and complete both of the short surveys, you’ll 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 taking based upon the expected reward range or survey length. It’s your choice which surveys you end up taking!

Every survey gets a fixed amount of cash allocated to the respondents who participate in the study. That pot of money is divided up between the respondents based on their TraitScore. Adjustments are then made to level the playing field so that newer members of PaidViewpoint are treated equally compared to longstanding members. Additionally, the respondent pool is divided into groups, with the higher-level groups getting 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 once you reach a $15 USD balance in your account. Your second reward 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 regional 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).

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

paidviewpoint cashout

Getting Notified for New Surveys

PaidViewpoint doesn't always send an email notification to members when a new survey becomes available. Instead, surveys are posted to user dashboards. Upon logging in, you’ll see a message at the top of your user dashboard listing the number of surveys available. PaidViewpoint recommends logging into your account regularly to be able to take these higher paying surveys, as opposed to waiting for an email invitation.

Increase Your TraitScore and Earn More

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

Member's Tip! Don't wait for PaidViewpoint to e-mail you surveys. Log in to your account regularly to find full surveys (non-trait surveys) posted there first.

Survey Lengths

Survey lengths vary, but are typically between 5-6 minutes. All surveys have limits placed on the number of characters in a question (120-240) and in survey answers (90-120) to give a Twitter-like feel. The number of answer choices is limited. Long, classic, complex, matrix-type questions are forbidden and the number of open-ended questions (where you have to type in answers) is limited. The maximum number of questions in a survey is limited on average, to around just 10 questions long.

Daily Surveys

You can wait until new surveys are posted to your dashboard, but you can also take "Trait Surveys" and earn between $0.03 and $0.10, on most days. These Trait Surveys not only serve to regularly increase your earnings, but they also help increase your TraitScore. Note that receiving trait surveys regularly may depend on your region.

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

Survey Variety

The surveys on PaidViewpoint are designed to be brief and to the point, mostly with multiple-choice questions. It's all about keeping things simple and enjoyable for you.

Surveys Are Meant to Be a Breeze

At PaidViewpoint, every survey you see is tailored to you, and is based on your profile. That way, you're never wasting time on surveys that aren't a good fit.

PaidViewpoint App

paidviewpoint app

If you prefer to take surveys on your phone and like having direct access to your surveys account, you may consider downloading the PaidViewpoint app. You can complete surveys directly from the mobile app, check your account balance and cash out your earnings when ready. The Paidviewpoint app is available on both iOS via the App Store and on Android, via Google Play.

Community Features

Earn More Though Referrals

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’re allowed 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 cashes out their earnings.

To get this privilege, you must have 100+ active friends or 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.

Takes forever...

April 10, 2018 by Morgan from United States

It takes forever to get surveys. I started getting a lot of surveys for a few days and I FINALLY got to $13.60 and then suddenly no surveys. I doubt they will ever let me get to $15 to cash out.

Hi there, Morgan,

The best way to earn some extra cash at our site is to visit frequently each day. Our surveys appear quickly and disappear (sometimes within an hour) as they are fulfilled. If you visit every few days, it’s possible that you are missing the better paying surveys from our clients. A few of these surveys will push you past the $15 requirement. You may write me at [email protected] if you would like me to examine your account.

Regards, April
Went down hill after 3 years

March 12, 2018 by Jane from United States

When I first started using PVP, I was part of Instant Cash Sweepstakes. After that site shut down, I tried my best to keep using this service. Unfortunately, the more I earn, the less I'm sent trait surveys and higher paying surveys. The site claims to try to avoid bots and cheaters, but because they're open to international users instead of NA/UK, I already know that most of the countries notorious for cheaters and bots already zip through first come/first served studies. Being a member of a rewards site that's successfully kept their service bot & cheat free since 2002, I know PVP could put in more effort, even if it means not serving sites that most survey clients already hate anyway. Now that, after nearly 8 months of waiting for enough surveys to earn another $15, I'm cashing out and deleting my account. It's just not worth using anymore. I have other sites I can earn $20 within a month if put in the work, so I'm sticking to those.

Edit: I've looked at other reviews that offer glowing feedback, and I don't believe them. I don't doubt that they probably got some incentive that I won't get for leaving such a low review. But I'm just being honest. I don't have any beef with PVP, but I don't find them worth the effort anymore. The time between surveys, after I reach roughly $8, is nearly a month to 2 months, and I'll completely forget to log in to check, because their email system doesn't properly alert me. I've even had to go back and re-check the box to get updates. They've told me a few times it was my fault -- I never touched it. So... please. Get good, or PVP will shut down from poor service also.

Hi Jane,

First of all, we are sorry to hear you will be leaving us. We realize our site will not be optimal for some users, this seems to be the case with you. We do not send out alerts or invites for every survey. If you wait for alerts, you won't make much cash. Since our site is "Live" or in-real-time, our better-paying surveys are probably fulfilling by the time you sign on to the sight every few days or so. The better-paying, first-come-first-serve, surveys are answered by real people like you. We know this because of extensive audits. And yes, Trait surveys (the smaller earning surveys) will slow after we learn more about you.

We are constantly learning and trying to improve PaidViewPoint. I will bring up your issues, especially the check box in your DashBoard, at our next panel meeting.

Have a nice week,
April
Worst survey site I've ever used

January 17, 2018 by Tatiana from Canada

I'm an active member on many different survey sites, typically earning at least $100 per month on most of them.

Paidviewpoint is the worst survey website I've ever used.
They suck you in with an initial money bonus, and a couple of big-paying surveys in the beginning, but reaching the $15 cashout limit seems impossible, so I would be surprised if anybody saw a penny of that initial bonus.

My year-to-date earnings are THREE CENTS. I check the website every day. I've been a member for nearly 2 years now. I haven't yet been able to cash out, and my balance has been stuck around $13 for over a year now.
I never get surveys on there, and if I do, it's their crappy 3 cent surveys.

Every other website I'm active on gives me lots of surveys, and it's pretty fast to earn a payout.
I sent an email to their customer service about 6-8 months ago, asking about my lack of surveys, and why I was unable to earn any money, and I was brushed off and basically told that they can't guarantee everyone is going to get surveys on a regular basis.
Frankly, I've given up on this website, and I would never recommend it to anybody else.

not for Belgium

December 30, 2017 by Leslie from Belgium

They let you register and let you answer endless profile questions but you never reach a cash out level if you live in Belgium. Although the helpdesk is very friendly and punctual in answering.

Hi there Leslie,

We are glad you found our help desk friendly and punctual.

Yes, sometimes the respondent's country of residence can make surveys appear less frequently. Many of our USA based Market Researchers are looking for US respondents. Occasionally, Market Researchers will open their survey to world wide respondents. Remember, surveys are dispatched in real-time, usually during US waking hours. The surveys are usually fulfilled in a few hours. If you log on a few times a week, you will definitely miss these better-paying surveys. We are trying to build a bigger, stronger international presence but this takes time and a lot of resources.

Happy New Year in Belgium. We wish you health and happiness.

Regards,
Florence
Don't bother if you live in Canada

September 6, 2017 by Julie from Canada

While the surveys are normally quick, it's still a waste of time. I have been earning three cents a survey, which would accumulate quickly if there were a few available every day except it's one survey every other day! I also have more than 9000 on that trait score so I was expecting more invites or at least have my earnings rounded up to a nickel, but no! Going to give up.

HI Julie,

Something doesn't sound right. Please write to us at [email protected] since you are anonymous here in Survey Police. There could be a reasonable explanation for you not getting the better-paying market research surveys from our customers.

Regards,
April
