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

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.

WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!

September 30, 2014 by susan from United States

I cant believe how bad this "survey company" is I get surveys maybe once every 2 weeks if I'm lucky and that's not the worst part they only pay 10cents YES 10 cents . I takes FOREVER to reach cashout at $15 so to do the math how often one is able to cashout . as soon as I hit 15 I was out of there.

Unprofessional and slow

July 21, 2014 by Colin from United States

1. I've made $5 in the same timeframe I've made $180 on other survey sites.

2. I emailed support about something and got a NASTY unprofessional response in broken English about how they're tired of me calling them liars and scammers in the past. This is the first time I've ever contacted them. No such previous contact ever happened.

3. Emails have promised a certain amount for a survey, and a separate amount if I came back after a particular time. Coming in hours before that time, I've been rewarded with nothing. Not even 10 cents.

4. Though I filled out every trait survey sent, and set my account to receive multiple surveys per week, I've received 1 market research survey in all of June.

You'll notice a short 5-star review immediately after every 1-star review. Interpret that however you will.

Why is this rated so high?

July 19, 2014 by si from United States

I joined when I have seen the great reviews and was bitterly disappointed.

The "surveys" are not really surveys but you are being asked the same questions. Over and over and over again.

At the pay of a few cent it will take you 6 months to even get a payout.

I was invited to 2 surveys in 3 months that paid around 70 cents. Woohoo.

It is more like someone getting a very clear picture of you then it is a survey portal.

So you better make sure you read the FAQ to know what happens with the sensitive data you sell at a few cents.

The user interface is nice.

UPDATE: downgraded to 1/2 star. Since like 2 weeks the 10 cent questionnaires are not questions anymore as they used to be but profiling. I do not care to give out a personality profile for 10 cent.

This site is ridiculous!

June 27, 2014 by Robb from United States

What is being said/reported by "happy" and "satisfied" respondents do not represent reality!
TraitScore surveys are offered at the rate of one every four and one half days, NOT every day as reported by others on this site. Your score could be counted from one number over and over without your TraitScore actually going UP!
Paid surveys are offered at the rate of one every five days, in my experience.
To make more than pennies (Usually 10 cents or so per survey. Or one penny per question answered.) on this site, you must have a TraitScore higher than 9,000. (The rate I report above is with my TraitScore listed at 806. And my TraitScore has remained at that level through the last three Trait surveys! The site says my score increased, but the number starts counting at 603 after each new survey, which was the very first TraitScore test amount.)
Support has told me each time that I simply don't understand how the score is being counted. (I actually did graduate from school. I actually do know how to add. If you keep starting at the same number, your total score will not increase!)
In my opinion, this is not a very reliable source for earning money.
If you are only answering surveys to give your honest opinion and don't care that your opinion will not garner you any cash, then this site might be for you!

I'm shocked at the positive reviews

May 29, 2014 by michelle from United States

I joined this sight about 7 months ago and am currently at $11.00. I think the only reason I've stayed is because I'm curious if I'll ever get to $15.00. I can easily make that per month on other survey sites. They've given me endless "trait score surveys" which pay .10 & is how I've accumulated most of the money. I'll post again if I ever hit $15.
