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.

It was fun while it lasted.

February 5, 2023 by Richard from United States

Have been a member for 3 years and completed almost 5,000 surveys. Also received rewards certificates for at least $400 in rewards. Not a lot but I obviously was not in it for the money. However it would seem it was a big deal to Point Club. LAST YEAR THEY CHANGED THE RULES. Suddenly they throttled my surveys. I would continue to receive surveys for high point values for over a 1000 to 5000 but when I attempted to complete them the first 5 you just got 12 points and then were no longer qualified and received no points at all. I also waited 2 weeks for receipt of my last $50 gift card.

The only surveys they will now let me qualify for are 300 point surveys taking 15 minutes or more. So now if I wish to complete a survey a day for 6 months they will then send me a $50 reward if I am lucky. They are telling me to get lost; but, I have been slow to receive the message. They obviously track your cash received. So if you want rewards you should be able to do this for a year. Perhaps I am not being singled out and they are now treating all of their members in a similar fashion. Bottom line suggest you look for a more reliable site for a long term relationship.

Has dropped fast.

December 2, 2022 by Luke from United States

Pretty much every survey has those "describe this image, or Red Herring questions and no matter what I put, I get the message about not providing good answers, even sometimes when I hadn't even had one question yet. If you aren't a member, it's best just to keep walking.

Dear Luke,

Please accept our apologies for inconvenience caused, if any.

Sometimes a survey host will include a sneaky question to see if you are just clicking randomly on selections and is known as ‘Red Herring’.

But if in case you are getting the same repeated message every time you answer one of these then is surely a matter or concern, and I would surely like to double check it myself!

A sincere request that you send us an email by giving a reference of this post and we will ensure that all findings are relayed to you followed by a solution.

Thank you for your patience.

Not Worth It

This site used to be great

October 3, 2022 by Michael from United Kingdom

This site used to be great. I earned well and the best part was being paid 12 points for a failure 5 times a day. £15 a year for doing very little, sweet.

Then they updated the site. I still had a few surveys on my feed but if I completed any I was simply 'awarded' 12 points. Hm... I complained and they blamed me. After many emails they admitted other people were having the same issues.

A few weeks later surveys started to appear again, but if I selected any it immediately bombed and awarded me 12 points. Ah well, whatever, I'll take the 4p a day and move on; Pointclub clearly don't give a darn.

Then of course, the surveys dried up again. Support says my account is fine and that there are no surveys that match my profile. Seriously? Immediately after the site update my feed crashed from 60+ surveys to NONE?

I tried to get them to pay me the $18 dollars they owe me so I can leave, but they refused, stating I wasn't at their redemption point yet. Gee thanks. I've completed ONE survey since March 2022, and earned $3 in SIX months, so this isn't happening any time soon.

If you live in the UK avoid this dishonest, self-serving waste of time at all cost.

Dear Michael,

Sincere apologies for all the inconvenience caused.

We try our best to show the most relevant surveys matching to your profile. However, there are times when we cannot completely profile the requirement of our clients. In those scenarios, we must roll out these surveys to the members whose profiles are somewhat similar to our client's needs, and this increases the chance of members getting disqualified from these surveys. However, we at PointClub do value your time and award 12 gesture points for 5 unsuccessful attempts.

We're working hard towards avoiding these scenarios by adding more relevant questions in our profile, which will help us match our members more efficiently with the requirements of a given survey.

Besides above and as communication via emails exchanged previously, the bare minimum threshold to redeem is $25.00. This is universal across all the corners of the Club and appreciate your cooperation.

Thank you for your patience!

Best regards,
Team PointClub
