Points2Shop is an established online rewards program, or GPT (get-paid-to) website. Earn credits for completing online activities such as surveys and offers, playing games, shopping online, watching videos, and more. Points2Shop also has mobile apps available, making it easier to accumulate even more rewards.

How Points2Shop Works

  • Complete offers – complete various offers from a wide array of advertisers, and earn credits to your account. Some require credit cards, others do not. These range from activities such as participating in free trials, to obtaining free quotes, to filling out membership applications. Points2Shop claims to have a unique set of advertisers, some not found on other GPT websites.
  • Take surveys – there are plenty of surveys available through the website, with many being offered by providers such as Peanut Labs and uSamp.
  • Play games – earn points by playing online games. The twist? Bet your points in games against other players – winner takes all! If you’re good at playing video games, this could be a good way to accumulate points quickly.
  • Contests - Points2Shop regularly holds contests and lotteries. Contests are typically additional cash rewards for referring members.
  • Refer friends and earn – receive up to $1.00 for every American or UK member you refer (get $0.50 when they verify their e-mail address, and an additional $0.50 when they complete their first offer). Additionally, after that, receive up to 15% of what your American referrals earn on the site.

Payment and Rewards

Earn points which can then be redeemed for your choice of the millions of products on Amazon. Essentially, any product that you’d like to purchase on Amazon, you can do so on Points2Shop, using your points. Most products are delivered within a week of their request.

Every point on Points2Shop is worth 1 penny worth of Amazon rewards. Technically, you can request rewards with as little as $1 in your account, but not only will this not buy you much on Amazon, you won’t be able to take advantage of free shipping for the item. It’s best therefore, to wait until you have a healthier points balance before cashing out your balance.

Alternatively, if you’d like to redeem your points for cash, you can do so using Cashle (Point2Shop’s cash payment site) where you can get paid via PayPal, as well as by other online payment processors.

Community Features

Honor Levels

Points2Shop has 7 different honor levels, all which require different milestones to be achieved. These include things like completing a certain number of offers, requesting payment at least once, referring members, etc. They are: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, elite, diamond, and legend. Each level comes with its own set of benefits. For instance, achieve gold status and instantly receive any PayPal payment requests you make. Special honor levels are also available for “promoters”, or those who have referred a large number of members.

Poorly run

March 13, 2016 by John from United States

Completing survey is no more difficult than other similar sites. The problem with the website is how it is run. Once you try to cashout you will be accused of creating false accounts or providing fake information to surveys. Of course they don't mention any problems with your account until you request a check. By then you already committed a large amount of time to earn 50 dollars. Support tickets can pend for weeks before you get an answer. But they hold strong that you're the one that broke the rules. So, it's unlikely I'll be paid from this company.

Thinly veiled threats

March 4, 2016 by cheryl from United States

Accused me of having multiple accounts. Mentioned a "member" and asked what my association was with them. Then demanded I provide some proof of ID and address in order to "unlock" my points. Never apologized for the accusations. I was treated like a criminal

Horrible, Scandalous = NOT RECOMMENDED

October 30, 2015 by Alexander from United States

Most of the "pre-surveys" are really long, I assume they are actually the real survey that just don't pay out. I feel like this is a scam. a Pre-survey shouldn't be 20 minutes; most of them on the site are.

They frozen my account for "violating the rules" which I don't believe I did, they will not tell me why or what happened. They will not help me at all. Their site says the average reply is 3 days, it's been over 50 days since any one has replied to me. I've created 3 different tickets over a period of time (weeks, not days of having no assistance or explanation).

I've sent them e-mails, but still not avail.

They are not honest, they are far from being professional!

Wasted a lot of time, which they would just give the $50 a earned so I can just close my account this them.

Hurdles and Roadblocks

August 19, 2015 by juris from United States

Points2Shop and its companion site SurveyRewardz suffer from the same issues - they're liberal with 'merits', given for each daily visit, fairly generous with points and dollars for completing surveys, but the problems begin when attempting to cash out - I had a $5 cash balance, successfully ordered a virtual Visa gift card, then my account was frozen 'for site rules violations' - I attempted to open a support ticket to inquire about the 'violations', but was rebuffed (no emails accepted from gmail addresses) I violated no rules, but got checkmated for my efforts - I will not open a new email account at a different provider, so I bid adieu to Points2Shop, and will concentrate my surveying efforts at more professional and honest survey sites.

Not Mobile or Vacation Friendly

June 15, 2015 by Kate from United States

I do not recommend this site. Everything was fine when I was using my laptop to access the site at home. However, when I tried to access it on vacation (even with the same laptop), the site locked me out as a hacker. I'm glad that there are security measures in place, but I was forced to email customer support to get my account unlocked (which took at least a week because they didn't believe me). When I got home I tried to access the site on my phone, and it, once again, locked my account. I was pretty fed up, and just wanted to cashout, but it would have taken a lot more effort than it was worth.
