Complete paid surveys on PointClub's website to get paid for your opinions. Earn PayPal cash, gift cards and more for your participation.

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.

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

I've been a member for almost a year now. Point Club seemed too good to be true. There were many surveys and although I screened out of many, this almost always happened at the very beginning. I don't believe I've ever had the experience of answering a long survey at Point Club and being disqualified at the very end. Some of their surveys were fun and not the run of the mill boring ones.

By checking in every day, you increase the value of surveys, eventually earning double the number of points. On the same day that I reached that goal, I also won l,000 points by checking into their Facebook page and
entering the daily code on the website. With the double value, surveys often pay $2 or more.

They also give a minuscule l2 points for five disqualifications per day, minuscule but a friendly gesture of good will. They used to give points for playing games, causing me to waste a lot of time playing l00l Animals, but at least getting paid to waste that time.

"The Captain" character is corny, but I enjoy his effort to come up with a new funny quip every day.

Unfortunately, something has happened in the last few months. First, no more games. Then the surveys dried up. And now they're delaying points awards with the new "pending" scheme. I feel that they're in trouble,
maybe by having been too generous, and I'm worried about them. I'm giving them four stars because I was so happy with them in the past and I wish them well. However, the way they are now, it would be about two 2 stars.
They still disqualify me immediately instead of putting me through long and boring surveys first, and that counts for a lot to me.

I hope that they can straighten out their problems. I would miss them.

Update, July 11

A month ago, I had enough points to redeem, but they were mostly "pending." I thought that I would never see the money, but I decided to keep answering surveys anyway. I figured that if they were having a cash flow problem, it might be useful to help them get some more income from the survey companies. I appreciated their attempts at honesty and good will.

My pending points finally came through. I redeemed them, and frankly I was very surprised and delighted when I saw that the money had appeared in my Paypal account, within the seven business days they specified.

It's not as good as it had been: The "pending points" are annoying, and now I'm getting screened out after answering a lot of questions for free, which almost never happened before. But it's still much better than other survey sites and I enjoy seeing what The Captain will come up with every day. I am changing my score from four to five stars.

Pointclub is so awesome! I'm able to take several different surveys and if I qualify they really reward you well with the points which add up quite quickly. Even if you don't qualify they still give you a few points which I think is only right because you gave of your time to try. I'm loving making a few extra dollars when I can, if nothing else it gives me a little gas money for our car or the little essential things we need at home.

Pointclub is one of my "go to" sites to earn gift cards or cash. The surveys are plentiful, interesting, and easy. There's a contest every single day to win 1000 points, and I've won a few times. I've also won some of the contests I've entered. Even if the survey disqualifies me, I still get consolation points. There are 10 levels to achieve just by logging in every day,and each level increases the point value of surveys, up to doubling the value! I love this site!!!

Point Club is one of my favorite survey sites. They give great value for the time spent on answering surveys and you can continue to boost how much you earn just by logging in everyday. I have cashed out multiple times and always receive my reward in a timely manner. They also provide other fun ways to earn like liking their Facebook posts and entering a code. Winners are legitimate for this as well, as I have won more than once! I also find the quality of surveys better through Point Club!

What a wonderful experience with this survey panel site. I’ve been a member at PointClub since September of 2017. In that time, I have had the pleasure of cashing out over 5 times. I have attempted to take a little over 1100 surveys, but only completed about 90 of them. That’s pretty much average for most survey panel sites. I’ve earned over 130000 points since I’ve joined. I’ve cashed out for Amazon gift cards, and Paypal deposits. To me, that’s the only two cash out options I care about, but they have other’s as well.

You have loyalty bonuses that correspond to “levels” you earn by logging into the site every day. I’m currently at Level 8 with a nice 80% bonus per survey. I’d be Level 10 or higher (if there is higher) by now, but sometimes I forget to log in. My fault, not theirs. It’s a really nice feature that they have to reward their members that is unique to them.

I’ve only had one issue where a survey didn’t pay, contacting support lead me to get my points credited. No other issues.

PointClub does NOT have to reward me for stating my HONEST opinion of their survey panel site. They are truly one of the only few panels out there. Happy to review them positively.
