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.

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
Very pleased with Point Club

August 28, 2022 by Kathy from United States

I've been very happy with this site, the surveys are interesting and the points add up fast. If you need to contact CS you get an answer quickly. I've done well here and would recommend them.
This is an old review but the new owners of Point Club are doing a great job of reworking the site. All "bugs" seem to be worked out and I am happy to submit this new review.

Used to be a lot better

May 29, 2022 by Jim from United States

I joined Point Club a couple of years ago and was pleased at first. As of late, they have gone downhill, qualifying for very few surveys and the latest today having FINISHED a survey, had the website come back as completed and then given only the 12 point "consolation". I told them I would get the opinion of the BBB if they failed to give me the earned points. If this is resolved I will update this post. If it is not, to the best of my ability I will report how much Point Club is "enjoying" going back and forth explaining themselves to the BBB.....

Hi Rose,

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Besides completion, responses entered should also make it to acceptance standards of the survey requirements. Any deviations to the same, may result in disqualification.

However, we had a detailed investigation done for your concern and a solution was sent across in a reply to your email received at PointClub support.

Request you to please go through the same and may write to us in case of further doubts. Happy to help!

Best regards,

Team PointClub

Pointclub.com is a great survey site! I've collected several $25.00 rewards. Great surveys, very profound, not the endless mind numbing chatter of other sites. Great site, not because i say so but because IT IS SO!

THIS SITE IS A JOKE

May 6, 2022 by John from United States

Two months and I'm still waiting for my points to be approved. Put in a ticket with support, they never got back to me. I'm done.

UPDATE: 2 weeks and 2 emails later support finally got back to me, they said my points would be processed by the end of April, it's May 3rd now and they've taken no action. I'm starting to doubt I will ever see a dime from this site. The first time around they revoked some of my points and I was unable to cash out. Now they are giving me the run around. If by some miracle they pay me I won't be coming back as it takes over two months to get paid, that is if they pay you at all.

Dear John,

Like as advised in previous posts and email replies, points awaiting approval were duly approved as per routine. As a result, you did manage to redeem for the first reward from PointClub that is now under process. We will have the same delivered to you at the earliest.

If you still got any doubts/concerns left unsorted, then may email us: [email protected] and will have our best guys allocated for it.

Thank you for your patience.
