KEY FEATURES:

Viewsbank is a social forum where you get paid to complete surveys, projects and Mystery Shopping assignments on a range of subjects and industries. In addition to your regular paid work, you can create and vote on Polls, or join the Viewsbank conversation in community Groups.

The Viewsbank panel and website is owned and operated by Consumer Intelligence - an independent research company that has been providing customer and competitor insight since 2003.

Registration Process

Fill out the registration form and within 48 hours you will receive a series of 5 surveys that will narrow down what types of research projects you will be invited to.

Exciting Research Opportunities

Viewsbank offers a variety of ways to earn rewards. Within the registration process, check off which types of studies you are willing to participate in. As a member, don't forget to keep in mind that all projects are first come first serve, so the sooner you confirm your spot the better.

• Online Surveys: New surveys are available on a weekly basis.
• Mystery Shopping: May be done online, on the telephone, or in-person.
• Home Research: Complete easy at home tasks and in return receive a reward.
• Online Focus Groups: May be done on a group call or in a chat room. Focus groups provide the largest rewards for participation.

Note that assignments come as a first come first served basis, and some assignments, like mystery shopping have very limited availability, so act fast if you gain an invite!

Social Website!

Viewsbank prides themselves in being a "social website", where members are encouraged to interact with one another. Members can vote on polls and join groups with like-minded individuals for debates and discussions. There is also the option to create your own poll, which you can get paid for! Polls that become popular within the first three days of being released will be rewarded with £10. If a poll that you voted on begins to trend, then you will collect 1p. Learn more about polls in the "poll rules" section of the website.

Earn Cash & Prizes

Most of the time when you complete a research project, you will receive a cash payment directly into your account. Some studies offer entries into prize draws for cash or other items. Surveys are usually paid in cash or prize draw entries which appear within your member account, whereas mystery shopping or at home projects are mainly rewarded with direct payment.

Earn Between £15 - £20 a Month!

Payments are calculated on the last day of each month. A minimum of £12 must be accumulated before members can redeem towards a reward. Payment is usually transferred via PayPal.

Any earnings accrued during a month are paid on the second Tuesday of the following month, provided that the threshold has been reached. Any earnings below the threshold amount will be carried over to the following month. You will only be paid for earnings that have accrued during the previous calendar month. Any earnings accrued after the end of the month but before payday will be paid the following month, again provided you are over the £12 threshold.

The Unique Quote Research Project

The Unique Quote Research Project is an ongoing research study conducted by Viewsbank. Earn extra cash by participating in this project, as each time your information is used, you will collect a £5 cash reward.

Eligibility: Open to UK residents only

I have been with this site several years and they always pay on time.

Easily the best way to earn rewards for answering questions.

I've been with Viewsbank for a few months now, and with a lot of experience using survey companies, I'll say it is one of the better ones I've used. A steady, solid earner, with several interesting ways to earn and win. You need £12 to cash out, so not too high. The daily poll is useful as it's a certain 10p each day. Then there are surveys (usually 50-75p) about 5 times a month. You'll not be profiled out of them, so if you keep an eye out and complete them soon after they release, that's a big boost to your earnings. Finally, there are some less likely ways to win £10 - by doing weekday competitions on Twitter and Facebook, and by writing a poll that manages to trend for 3 days (no easy feat). Oh, and if you voted in a poll that trends, that's a wee 1p added to your earnings. All in all, interesting, fun at times, and definitely worth doing.

Most surveys take less than three minutes and pay between 20 - 50p, but there are a lot less of them now. Watch out for links from off site surveys. Most gather a lot of data and then disqualify you.

I have been with them for about two years and have had payments from them totaling over £110. I could have had more if I'd accepted assignments offered or checked their site more often. The rewards are usually small, but as most surveys are very short the rewards are as good as most sites.
Rarely had any problems and whilst they need chasing more than they should, they have always fixed the issues to my satisfaction.

I have been using the Viewsbank site for some time but have decided to no longer participate as the level of overt racism from the participants (reflected in their mini polls) is very upsetting to me. Here are some examples of questions and responses I have been faced with over the last week or so (and it is getting worse since the whole BLM movement)
"Should the Brits pay reparations to the blacks for slave trade?" (To the blacks?)
"Saying Black Lives Matter is racist"
"Every coloured person in this country is a free person" (Coloured person??)
Other comments under polls have said that if Black people dislike the racism in the UK they can "go back to their own countries".
I have found the content very upsetting and despite contacting this company, they removed a couple of the more rabid racists only for others to keep posting their denigrating polls. I contributed to this site because I enjoy taking surveys and it takes my mind off of negative events going on around the world. Now on this site, I no longer feel able to engage. I am just sitting reading hurtful and bigoted comments. I cannot recommend this site for BAME participants. I really cannot.
