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

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

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

paidviewpoint referrals

Earn More Though Referrals

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.

1 month later, $3 richer

August 26, 2017 by Aaron from United States

I've been on paidviewpoint for about a month now. I answer the surveys within a few hours of them being posted, but a lot of times this is one 10 cent survey every two to three days. The surveys are short, but it'll be this time next year before I make enough to cash out. Meanwhile on another site, I've already gotten $30 in gift cards over the same time and am earning 30 cent to a dollar on each survey. I'll never understand how it has as many good ratings as it does.

Hi there Aaron,

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.

Regards,
Florence
They are going to pay me in next life.

August 24, 2017 by saralkumar from United States

It has been a year since I joined paidviewpoint. And if I can't even earn 15 dollars in a year then you gotta be kidding me. And it is amazing how trait surveys has reduced to almost zero ever since I reached 12 dollars. And there are no other surveys. I would suggest if they cannot provide enough surveys then reduce cash out limit from 15 dollars to maybe 5 dollars. This whole thing of 15 dollar cashout limit and non existent surveys make it feel that this website is here to get free work out of people and never pay them. I am very very disappointed.

PaidViewpoint responded to this review on August 24, 2017

OH no, Saralkumar, something doesn't sound right. Please write to us at [email protected], ask for me personally.

Sometimes leaving demographics empty can cause this lack of surveys. Sometimes lack of consistency will make you a unreliable or untrustworthy respondent. Yes, trait surveys will reduce in time. If your demographics and consistency are ok, you should see the better-paying surveys from our actual customers. Don't worry, we are NOT interested in fooling people and there is a legitimate reason for the $15 cash out. A lot of thought and planning went into making our rules and we want to be fair. Again, please write me so I can personally examine your account.

Regards,
Florence
A survey (any survey) would be nice

May 12, 2017 by Doug from United Kingdom

Joined but apart from their profile surveys, nothing else has appeared
Based on recent reviews I MUST be on a different PaidViewpoint as to date all I've manged to earn is $2 over several months, so someone's not being honest in their reviews

December 2, 2016 by Gary from United Kingdom

Hi there, Gary (and others with the same problem),

Please write to us at [email protected]. I see that you are writing from the UK. This can be part of the issue, but it shouldn't take 3 years before you can cash out. There are many factors that go into making a respondent site; country of residence, consistency of your answers to our in-house 'screener' questions, consistency of your answers to our clients questions, nonsensical answers like "ghjkl" count against you, empty demographics when you registered, and many many other factors. Building this site is a very challenging task for MR companies, but we really try to make it 'right'. Please write to us since this forum is anonymous. Please mention me in your email.
Cheers,
April
100% Pretentious Company & Not Worth Working For!

October 20, 2016 by Colin from United States

The survey is pretentious, and the support staff is pretentious, self-centered, overly sensitive, and controlling. The support staff doesn't treat its panelists with the same dignity and respect that they demand their panelists show them. In other words the support staff plays by a one way street instead of a two way street philosophy and attitude. The same rules that apply to you, don't apply to them. If the support staff doesn't like you they block you from ever using their website again. In my opinion it's a crappy website, and I'd give it a 0 Stars rating if I could, because that's what I believe it deserves. I hope this was some help for you in your choosing the right surveys for you to be a part of. Have a great day my fellow Market Research Company Survey Panelist-Survey Taker.

Hi there, Colin,

As you may know, email responses can be misunderstood and frustrations can rise and I think that is what happened here. I have personally reviewed your four emails from October 7th and our representative's one email from October 7th.

I feel a responsibility to my company to oppose your title of this review "100% Pretentious Company & not worth working for". I suppose you had an issue with the sentence that our representative typed: "Please know that going forward forward, we will only respond to professional communication." This is the response that seemed to escalate your last two emails. We apologize if we offended you with that response. However, requesting a professional manner in communication is never a pleasant or an easy thing to request no matter which side the conversation you look at. Once again, emails can be misunderstood and tempers fire. We wish you luck on your next endeavors.

Regards,
April
