What PointClub Is

PointClub is a website which gives the opportunity for members to earn rewards from answering surveys and participating in other online activities.

Super-Fast Registration Process

Join PointClub with just a few keystrokes using your Facebook or Google account. Alternatively, you may join the traditional way - using your email address. You’ll be asked for your home address (to verify your location) and to receive your first payment check (if located in the USA).

Who Can Join

You can access this website from any country, and there are money-making opportunities for residents of the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands. However, USA residents will find the most opportunities to make side-income from this website and will by far, have the most success with it.

Join and Get up to 5,000 Free Points (Worth $5)

Become a free member of PointClub and jump start your membership by receiving 500 free points credited to your account. Receive points for joining, points for confirming your email, and extra points for completing the short profiling questionnaire, for a total of 5,000 points, or $5.00. This is a particularly generous sign up bonus compared to those offered by most of PointClub’s competitors.

Receive Cash or Gift Cards for Your Participation

By completing surveys and participating in other research opportunities, you will earn points which can be redeemed for PayPal payments or digital gift cards (though your first reward will automatically come in the form of a payment check). You may request a reward with 25,000 points, worth $25, in your account. This is PointClub's minimum cashout. Alternatively, you may request your rewards at the 50,000 ($50), or 100,000 ($100) threshold levels.

• Payment check: The first time you cash out your rewards, you will receive a check in the mail. This is done to verify your address and is the first and only time PointClub will issue a payment check to your address (sent by US mail).

• Earn gift cards: PointClub has over 200 gift card options available that you can exchange your points for. These include Amazon, Tango, Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Macy's, Lowe's, Sephora, Google Play, and many, many more. Visa prepaid cards are also a prize option. You may request a gift card with as little as 25,000 points ($25) in your account. Gift cards are only available as e-gift cards.

• Get paid by PayPal: If you prefer cash, you can opt to receive a $50 cash payment made to your PayPal account. This will require 50,000 points and a 2% withdrawal fee will apply.

Earn Points for Surveys

Every time you participate in a PointClub survey, you will earn points redeemable for gift cards or cash. You can earn anywhere from 200 to 5,000 points per survey completion. Surveys typically take between 5 - 30 minutes to complete. Your points will be awarded once a survey fully closes, so you may have to wait up to 4 weeks before your points are available in your account.

At any time, you can view your current approved points, point status, and points needed for redemption by viewing your PointBank on the sidebar of your account dashboard.

Tons of Survey Opportunities Available

At any time, you may log into your account to view a list of online surveys available for completion. You will also be notified by email when you may qualify for a new survey, but it's a good idea to log into your account regularly to check for opportunities.

Get Points for Screen Outs

If you get screened-out, or disqualified from a survey, PointClub will still credit your account with 12 points after 5 unsuccessful attempts. This counteracts the frustration of spending time on the start of a survey only to be dismissed with no compensation.

Easy Redemptions

Once you have reached the minimum of 25,000 points needed to redeem, a button will appear in the sidebar of your dashboard. A weekly distribution model for rewards is followed so that redemptions requested throughout a week are collated and sent ahead for further disbursal to Club members in the immediate/following week. That means that you should never have to wait more than 7-10 business days to receive a gift card to PayPal reward.

PointsPlus Instant Win

PointsPlus Instant Win is an opportunity to be one of 1800 winners in the instant win sweeps. Earn tokens by completing special selected surveys and filling out information about yourself via profilers. The more tokens earned, the more chances you have at winning.

Earn unlimited tokens daily (via surveys, profilers, and by referring friends who complete at least one survey), or purchase them for 2,000 points each. Up to 5 tokens can be purchased this way. Hidden tokens are also available in your dashboard, so ensure you try filling out surveys even when the PointsPlus Instant Win token icon isn't displayed.

Use up to 10 Tokens per day for your chance to win a prize every week. Prizes include: $50 checks, $25 checks, or 100-5,000 PointClub Points.

PointClub App Download

PointClub does not currently offer an app, however, the website is mobile-friendly and all surveys are designed to be as mobile-compatible as possible.

Is PointClub Legit?

PointClub is not a scam and is a legitimate online survey panel. Innovate MR, the company who operates the PointClub website, is a highly reputable market research firm that conducts high quality surveys. PointClub has millions of users and has awarded millions of dollars in rewards to their members. Although users of the website may experience varying levels of success with the program (as per the PointClub reviews below), PointClub itself is legitimate.

Eligibility: Everyone worldwide, 18+, however, PointClub is primarily for USA residents.

I should have listened to the reviews before joining. All the reviews I read (lots of them) described the same thing that happened to me. Claimed I was dishonest and therefore my account was flagged. Interesting that they chose to tell me this when I was 300 points from cashing out. I will be filing a BBB claim.

You'll work so hard to get to that cashout, and they will pay you out a few times, and then all of a sudden you'll be banned and accused of a bad history of failed red herrings...and they wont pay you anymore....it's happened to many many of their users...Constantly promising site improvements and never coming through...Compared to other sites, Pointclub is a waste of time, and will only offend you by making false allegations against you for the soul purpose of keeping money you earned for them...period...zero stars!

December 28, 2017 by Jeannette from United States

I've been a PointClub member for a year, and it really had become one of my absolute favorites, taking about 3 months to reach my $59 paypal goal.

But with the beginning of December when I was about 20000 points away from the $50, I, too, stopped getting survey offers. And when they finally responded to my question as to why, I, too, got the answer about the audit and how too many of my surveys were considered "failed", so my account was turned off.

Okay, fine. But I emailed them asking if I could at least redeem my points for the $25 paypal reward?

It took a week to get a response. That didn't bother me because I expect the last two weeks of December to be a time when doing any kind of business just really isn't going to happen due to the holidays.

But I was grateful for the response they gave me, saying that while my account had been turned off because of too many "fails" found during that audit, they would turn my account back on so I could earn enough to redeem my points. They said they could only do that once, and that I really needed to be extra careful to avoid those 'fails".

Alright. I clicked on the button to redeem $25 which it immediately said was "pending". Again, not a problem, that's the way it has always been, and the survey offers reappeared!

So I clicked on one this morning, started the survey and it was going really well and I was being extremely careful; answered a question honestly, but the survey kicked me out. Again, I'm used to that kind of thing happening. So I went to check how it was recorded on my activity page . . .

"Failed"!

Really?! Answering a question honestly is a "fail"?! I expected a "disqualified", but a "failed"?!

So again, I emailed them, explaining the situation. I'm sure because I violated my probation with them it will take a while to get any kind of response and my account will be turned off again . . .

I came over here and started reading all the reviews and found it really sad. As I said, I really liked PointClub, but it has really gone way down. Maybe I'll get $25, maybe I won't, who knows? But I won't be attempting any more surveys from them.
