SITES LIKE Viewsbank

YouGov, Panel Champ

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

Brilliant trustworthy

July 13, 2013 by Sharon from United Kingdom

I've been a member for a while now and I receive numerous surveys and a few mystery shopping assignments. I have always received payment on time and they even sent me a free BAnksy teddy bear for my loyalty along with £5 to my paypal account

Hi Sharon,

I'm so sorry it's taken us over 7 years to respond to your review, we have only just gained the ability to reply.

Aww Banksy, I remember him. Things have probably changed a little since this was written but I hope you are still with us and still enjoying being a member.

Kind Regards,

OUTSTANDING

May 14, 2013 by Victoria from United Kingdom

I have been with Viewsbank just over a year now, the surveys are short but well thought out and fair pay. You do need to sign in to check for the surveys. I have never had any spam from them nor from the surveys I complete for them. And best of all they have humans that work for them, not auto response systems. If you have a problem you can talk to a real live helpful kind human being and they really are all of those things. Can not fault this site, staff or their forums. Inc their Facebook page. If I could give them a 10 out of 5 I would lol. Also no problem with payments. Perfect!

Viewsbank, a great survey site.

May 13, 2013 by Ruth from United Kingdom

Viewsbank is a very friendly and professional company.
The mystery assignments are great, they can pay well, but there are always little polls, surveys and different competitions being posted on a regular basis to keep you interested.

Great company with a growing community

May 13, 2013 by Matthew from United Kingdom

An easy and friendly site to use, with an excellent and growing forum community. As stated in other reviews, the payment threshold is £6 and payment is made once you reach that level once a month.
There are opportunities for Mystery shopping tasks along with the poll and joke of the week sections that can earn you an extra £5 if yours is chosen.
One of the best parts for me is the surveys themselves are usually quick to complete and on a very varied selection of topics. Although they are often only for a few pence you see your balance growing fairly steadily.
I highly recommend them and from any problems I have had Ive always had excellent service

Excellent

May 13, 2013 by Marta from United Kingdom

I have been with ViewsBank for few months. I had a few payouts, each was above £6, while the highest was actually over £12!
Great surveys: short, straight forward and always relevant to me.
Amazing weekly competitions! I won Pet Picture competition and received £5. I even won a teddy bear!
They always pay on time (first tuesday of each month) as long as you gained enough money - £6 as minimum.
The ViewsBank team is always happy to answer all the questions and inform us about every single change on the website, so there are no weird surprises.
Also, the forum is great - we can talk to many people about everything.
