“Always Paid Out What I Earned”

Rodrigo D.
6/15/17

It's a nice site to earn serious change but not lots of money. What I can say in favor of this site is that the surveys are short and I get paid by each question answered. Some are paid less, some significantly more. However, I never earned more than $40 a year. So you know how it is at PaidViewpoint. Nonetheless, it's still worth it. As I said before, on average, a survey is 1 minute or less.

“These people are oddly assholish”

Alek Z.
1/30/24

I am based in the US, but traveling abroad. I signed up for this site just to get a few extra bucks while on the road, but then they cut me off because I was not based in the US. I was very upfront with them about it. It was unfortunate, but okay maybe I could start it back up when I got back to the US. Instead they ban me and go off on me like I'm some kind of criminal. This, by the way, is AFTER I do like 6 surveys for them. So they take my responses, and then treat me like a $#*!ing $#*!. $#*! these guys. I just wanted a few extra bucks.

Today I Found Out The App And Site Called Paid ViewPoints Which I Sign Up Using The Newly install Version Because it was on Beta Version and was not accepting accounts to be made. Today I found out what these people are and that is that they are liars. I made an account a few days ago three days ago under my Email But I Have been noticing the app was having problems signing in because of a glitch I report this and it was fixed great wonderful customer service or so I throught well guess what I had $1.30 I was satisfied that I was earning cash only it was $.10 per surveys not bad but the good thing it was accuratung it. But today this afternoon I was logged out. When I login in the money was gone I was getting upset because right away I thought of the recent update the developers had made to the app to fix bugs. I tried to login out and in again hoping this was a glitch a mistake maybe my money will appear again. It has to after all I made process of earning this money even if it wasn't a lot. I contact the Support team they right away they claim there was no account under this email. Long story short they told me they closed it without warning me because they throught I Quote They through I had another account. Now they think I'm Lying about all of this. Because they claim they don't see the $1.30 on that account. This is Frustrating the service the support they have and how they are responding to this is like they don't care. And now they say they won't be continuing this conversion over email because they don't want to investigate this or help people out.

I stay in India and tried using Paid viewpoint because many youtube videos claim it's a legit company. Even though it's mentioned you can earn anywhere between 0.3 dollars to a dollar for each survey, I'm being given 0.03 dollars each time. Inspite of religiously giving each survey for almost the past 3 months I've totalled only 2.56 dollars till now. Which means it will take me more than 18 months to reach the point where I can cash out! I've been patient for too long, deleting my account now once and for all.

They used to spam more than anyone else, now after reaching 14.91,9 cent before cashing out not even 1 futile email providing a survey link. This with a trust score of 8000...
I bet it's a scam. Very greedy to begin with.
Another one to be deleted by me soon.
Let's see if I ever get those ridiculous 15 us.
Literally one of those survey companies is more crooked than the other.
Be careful.

I signed up 3 years ago and have made $65. You only get offered 1 or 2 surveys every few at first if you are lucky. Most of them are only 10 cents. Now that i have a max score I get daily surveys but still 10 cents. I cashed out getting the amazon card and it was instant (gave me a code through the website). I would recommend this site if you have time everyday day spend 10 minuets doing a survey. The reason I am taking a star away is that It can take months until you are offered enough surveys to cash out.

I've been a member of PaidViewPoint since February of 2014. In that time, I've had exactly one payout of $16.66. It took me two years to get that first payout. In the year and a half since then, my trait score has increased to 10,000, but my surveys still only pay from around 8 cents to 10 cents each. On the odd occasion I've earned a little more for a survey: $1.23, seventy-two cents, fifty-two cents, etc. I'm now at $11.74 and at the rate I'm going, it'll take another year to earn a second $15 payout. After that, I'm done. I continued because I believed the surveys really would pay more after my trait score go to 9,000. That hasn't happened.

It takes some time to make enough to cash out but the site is legit. It only takes a few minutes a day to take the surveys on the days that they are available and they payout directly to your PayPal account. I have been using Paid View Point for about 2 years and made about an average of $100 a year. Like I said legit but very slow making money.

Do NOT waste your time! After completing a 20 min survey, you might get $1. (Minimum wage is Over $7 an hr.) $2 or $3 an hour is ridiculous. Another massive problem is that you can't choose which surveys to do. It only shows that you have "4 surveys available", but if you click on it, it automatically takes you to the first one. Plus, you have NO concept of how long it's going to be before you start. Have 10 min. Only before you have to leave? Better not take a survey, it could be 20 minutes. They really should organize it better. Give me an option to skip surveys that aren't going to be worth my time. 8 min survey for $0.10? I'd pass on that one. (That's less than $1 an hour for work) But, NOPE! You CAN'T pass any. It throws you in automatically. Horrible. INSANELY HORRIBLE!

Tip for consumers:
There is no refund to get, because you aren't purchasing anything. They will pay you to take a survey. The problems are that they first pay extremely LOW for the amount of time you have to invest, and they also do not show you what surveys are available for you, or allow you to skip or even have knowledge of how long the survey takes, or how much you're going to be paid, BEFORE you start.

Products used:
No products to use. It's a paid for taking surveys site.

06-03-2022 Update:
I have had no trouble doing their surveys since the previous problems. Have redeemed several times without further complications. Do be aware that this site does use/sell the info from it's surveys so there is no privacy here.

02-04-2020 UPDATE...
Contacted PaidViewpoint about what happened and the next day I received all of my money earned back. Thank You PaidViewpoint.

OLD: Updated my phone since you need current # to redeem. This cost me $46+ as I did not want to wait the 6 months required when updating any info.^ months, get real. I checked the other box, not sure what it meant and lost EVERYTHING!

PaidViwepoint is one of the best sites to earn rewards for providing helpful feedback on products, advertising, etc. The surveys are fun and thoughtfully written out. If you provide thorough and detailed information, your rewards will be very good. They honor PayPal payouts, and the payments are very quickly received in your bank account. You only need $5.00 to cash out. I have actually learned about new products and services that I would not normally have known about unless I had been on PaidViewpoint. This is a very legit website and I highly recommend it.

Products used:
I didn't purchase anything from this site. It is a survey taking site that individuals complete surveys on and then get paid for their time and effort.

I expected more. You spend way too much time answering questions for points and. 10 ugh. At least I get more on another site $10. A pop dollars straight to PayPal. This one is my time waster. After spending time on questions I got 2 effing points gimme a break!

Tip for consumers:
If anyone has any different experience, please share. I will be ending this account at the end of the week if I don't hear anyone else saying it was better.

PaidViewpoint is wasting my time for 2 points or 10 lousy cents. Not worth the time.

PaidViewPoint is supposedly a website that pays you for every survey you take. It also pays you for some every information that you provide. The problem is there are no surveys at all beside from that trait survey, the website is pretty much a wasteland! It looked like they just tried to take information from me. I don't even know if they even pay anyone in here. For them to pay out, you need 14 dollars. It'll take a long time since that trait survey is daily and only nets you 25 cents each..

It normally doesn't offer surveys on Sundays. Surveys offered on weekdays are Traits Surveys which is only ten cents. Higher paying surveys are about toothpaste. You have to reach a threshold of fifteen dollars in order to cash-out with PayPal or Amazon Gift E-Certificates. Paid Viewpoint is fine but Branded Surveys is better.

They emailed and acted like I would eventually get it but I haven't seen it.
You must have a paypal account (yes, it's confusing because they offer gift cards... but you must have the paypal account initially before you can get them... buyer beware).

May have worked for others but didn't work for me. Nice setup as far as survey-taking but I didn't get compensated... on to better surveys now!

The fact that you have to wait until you make $15 to cash out is ridiculous. They need to lower it to $5. Not only does it take forever but you are mostly making 0.10 per survey. Definitely not worth it.

If you are interested in taking surveys to make money online and you are always on the go type, you have no much time to spare paid view point is the place to be. Their task takes less than 5minutes to complete and you are done for the day, but I must tell you to deal with the site you must be very patient, earnings takes time to grow except you are ready to do the referral job.
Nevertheless its a great place to be and if you ever think of trying them out click on the link below to sign up

I've been on there before and got two payouts so it had been legitimate. I was coming up for a third payout; I was only like $4.00 short. I go on to the site today and try to log in and it said the password was incorrect so I tried another one and nope. I then decided to do the "forgot password" and surprise they deleted my account. I had maxed out my trait score and everything. Now I don't even want to bother with this site.

So if I was anyone else I wouldn't bother with it either.

Yup, I'm sure I'm one of the oldest members and I'm kept just under the threshold to get my first payment xxx It's about time that the WWW Tax Collectors started investigating all those money-making sites who have harvested us xxx I became a member in 2012 xxx

Tip for consumers:
I've no idea what to give as an inside tip ... Just know that it is always wise to read reviews on sites before jumping in and wasting time, money and emotions ... Wouldn't mind if we could read reviews on People! lol!

It is a survey site so spent hours doing surveys for them through the years, but they offer no surveys to me anymore ...

Don't bother with this site. Even though you only need $15.00 to cash out, you wont get surveys anymore when you reach $10.00. I am at $10.58, I check my dashboard daily, but haven't gotten a survey in months. They say to be patient, surveys will come. When? In 6 months? Something is really not right here. They get your hopes up when you get close, and then everything stops. Sounds just like Univox. We all know that site is not worth it either. Very disappointed.

UPDATING MY REVIEW: As of today 3/30/20, I am updating to 5 stars. Once I hit the highest trait score of *******, mor and more surveys and higher surveys became available. I have now cashed out many times because of the highest trait score possible. Still, you have to check in everyday to make sure you do not miss a survey. Also, Paypal payment is within 24 hours. Not bad, considering some sites can make you wait weeks, even months. I now look forward to taking surveys from here. I just needed to be patient. I am glad stayed with the site. You will be too.

Updating as of 7/11/20. One star now. Emailed support over a week now. Can't get to my dashboard. They have not responded. A week is a long time!

Wow. I was looking for some sites to join and this one was rated NUMBER ONE on a long list. Well, went in to find that 8 years ago I was a member -- I have an unpaid amount of $13.25 in my account. Took a survey and earned a WHOPPING TEN CENTS! Apparently have to get to $15 to claim. At any rate, I noted I had sent SEVERAL help tickets 8 and 9 years ago asking why I stopped getting survey invitations and NEVER GOT ANSWERS to any of my several inquiries. I'm trying once more, but if it doesn't work, I'm out time and effort and $13.35. NO idea why they were rated #1...

This company sells panel members' information to 'provide survey opportunities'. I got A LOT of weird junk emails spoofing my outlook.com account soon after I signed up. I suspect this is caused by this comany. Even though they on words say that residents of Carlinfornia can opt out (because they are based in Carlinfornia, note the NARROW geographic jurisdiction for opt-out, not even the entire LA!), they may not really protect members' data privacy. Then what makes me feel not right is that there is NO functional tab or anywhere in their website for members to redeem the money! What is the point of having whatever dollars if you cannot practically redeem? Another cheating house. I close my account straight away. They said that 'surveys notifications' would be sent to me if I set the settings right but NEVER get one survey notification until I actually logged in to find a filthy survey that paid INSULTING few cents. Clearly, it is another harvesting and selling big data malicious company out there. "Surveys" are the front cover decoration only.
