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.

Don't Waste Your Time

November 21, 2017 by Marie from United States

I have been doing surveys for years. I have never had a company take points from me. I have also never had a site where you complete a survey and show proof you completed it and they still won't pay you. This last incident still never got resolved. I had a survey number and proof I did my part and instead of getting my 3600 points credited they offer me 500 points! I will not be insulted or used by this site ever again. They responded in 6 minutes about closing my account but can't respond back about my points. If you are a serious survey taker, don't waste your time with them!

UPDATE: You asked me to contact support. I did that. They responded with a couple of emails but still full of lies and excuses! I proved once again I did my part and you still wouldn't credit me. Its funny once I sent in proof again all communication stopped. PLEASE don't waste your time with these people!

NON PAY

October 6, 2017 by RANDALL from United States

This is a non pay site, they have flat out stopped paying, have had a paypal cashout request for pending for weeks, they have responded to my complaints by emailing me 4 times that the payout would be sent and it never has been, they will not pay and are absolute liars.

Add me to the List

September 18, 2017 by Katie from United States

Add me to the list of people who have been blocked just when I was getting close to a redemption. The worst part is they never tell you there is a problem. I visited the home page for weeks and never got anymore surveys. I had to email and ask what was going on. I did get a response, but I still have no idea what I did wrong.

Very shady site

August 13, 2017 by LIsa from United States

They will allow you to earn just enough points to almost cash out $25 then ban you from surveys without cause.

account suspended

August 1, 2017 by Don from United States

I have been a member of this site for over a year. I never had any issues until recently. About two weeks ago, I noticed I stopped getting surveys. I emailed them to see why I had no surveys and they responded and said my account had been flagged due to suspicious activity. They said they would investigate the matter and get back to me soon. A week passed and nothing. I emailed them again and was told they decided to leave my account suspended. When I asked for specifics as to what type of activity caused my account to be suspended, I got no response. A month ago, I would have given this site 5 stars. Now, not so much. Join if you'd like, but don't plan on a long term relationship.


I reached out to Point Club again when I was contacted by them after leaving a negative review. It's been over a week and still no response and my account is still suspended. What a waste of time!!
