How PointClub Works

pointclub website

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.

Payment and Rewards

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.

PointClub Advantage All e-gift card deliveries and PayPal payments should take no longer than 7-10 business days to process.

Survey Taking Experience

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.

Points Value: 1000 PointClub Points = $1.00. Therefore, each point is worth $0.0001.

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.

Such a Disappointment

December 14, 2017 by Janice from United States

I have been waiting for over a month to receive payment. Sent messages asking why to only receive late responses. I was first told be patient. Pointclub was still doing "Quality Check due to some backlog leading up through Thanksgiving holidays". Then was told after a second message that my account was "turned off" due to a combination of factors.

How many of you have received this message in response to why you haven't received payment:

" Your account was turned off during our most recent member audit. This was due to a combination of the following factors, as determined by your survey history:

A higher percentage than average of surveys marked as invalid by the sponsoring client. These resulted in your survey data being rejected.
A higher percentage than average of failed “red herring” questions (typically those placed in a survey to ensure participants are paying close attention to their answers).
We apologize for any inconvenience, but this audit is run specifically to safeguard our surveys and ensure the data needs of their respective clients are being met. As such, your account will not be reinstated".

Best Regards,
Customer Service Manager
Team PointClub

A complete disappointment. Straight up lied and still said nothing about my payment. You spend all your time on this site for them to supposedly turn off your account that you are still able to access and do surveys, then not pay you. All of a sudden no surveys are available and the payment you are owed is still pending.

I don't know what is going on with this survey site but I warn you that you are wasting your time. Especially if you are counting on the money you make from this site. I was totally not expecting this from a site I found to be one of my favorites before now.

Payment Issues

December 5, 2017 by Melissa from United States

I have been on this site for about a year, lately I have not been able to cash out. Then to put the icing on the cake, the minute I contacted them I haven't gotten even the option for a survey. They just keep saying their are none available.

Great survey site

December 5, 2017 by Darcy from United States

This site is great. Even if you don't qualify you are credited with 12 pts--up to 5 times daily. You can move up to higher levels and get even more pts. for a completed survey than what is offered.

they don't pay

December 4, 2017 by tim from United States

used to be a very good site. now they won't reply to emails and they won't pay. STAY CLEAR FROM THIS SITE!

Payment Delivery problem

November 28, 2017 by Anna from United States

I joined this site in October 2016 and have redeemed 6 times so far with huge success. I was thrilled until now with the site. Payment was within the stated time and no problem with redemptions. I have always chosen Amazon gift card as my redemption choice until this last time. I changed it to Paypal and it's been several weeks with no payout. I've sent 6 emails to the "Contact Us" system over the past week with no acknowledgement of receipt or response to my request for status of payment. I don't mind waiting a little extra time for payment, but the annoying part is the no response to my payment status requests. That's is just very poor customer service. I'm leaving this review with hopes of a response via this channel. I'm still working on surveys and can understand a slow response, but right now I feel betrayed. I will continue to give Pointclub the benefit of the doubt for a longer period of time but a person can only endure so much betrayal.
