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

A stand out site for surveys and more

May 18, 2021 by Dave from United Kingdom

This is a great site for easy to complete surveys. Surveys are usually quite short and although not always of high reward, the ratio of time spend to reward received is exceptional. Payment is automatic upon reaching £12.00 and is paid into PayPal on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Occasional you could be invited into focus group or a mystery shopping project, the rewards for which are high.
I give it 5 stars for:
- Ease of use,
- Prompt payment and
- Good communication

Terrible

May 15, 2021 by Robert from United Kingdom

Awful. Lots of racists, abuse & downright horrible people. Surveys are few & far between. Would not recommend.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, and I'm sorry to learn how you feel about our site.

I'd like to reassure you that we are not hosting a community of racists or otherwise horrible people. The majority of our members are lovely, pleasant people, though unfortunately you always get the odd one who tries to spoil it for others. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but we simply ask that members respect each other's opinions, even when they differ from their own.

I’m sure you are aware that all polls now also require manual approval from site staff before going live. Unfortunately, this is not possible with all comments at the moment, but any offensive comments are removed from the site as soon as we become aware of them. Members who repeatedly violate out Ts&Cs around acceptable behaviour on the site are warned and also banned in some circumstances (repeated warnings/serious breaches of the rules).

I hope the above provides some reassurance that we are working hard to make Viewsbank a fair and safe place for all who wish to use it.

If you would like to discuss anything further, or have any questions, I'd encourage you to reach out directly via [email protected].

Kind Regards,

James
