Hello Felix,

I apologise for the inconvenience caused by the reward gallery failing to connect to amazon. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so could you please send a support ticket to our admin team so they can work with you to fix it. For future reference, if you ever experience a problem with the rewards gallery then you can place a manual order via support ticket. You can find instructions on how to do this in the forum, or if you ask in the shout box one of our site moderators will be happy to help.

Our surveys do accept many users, however disqualification from surveys is common. This is because surveys are often looking for specific people with specific demographic profilers. For example, if you are a 25 year old woman you would not qualify for a survey about cosmetics that is targeted towards women between the ages of 30 to 45. Or the target group could be gamers between 13 and 25 years that own an iPhone or Android device and like to play strategic games. Maybe you are a gamer between 13 and 25 with a mobile device but you like to play shooters. Then you’ll be disqualified from that survey. However, we will always show users the survey they have the most chance of qualifying for based on their profilers. For this reason, I would advise you to ensure that your demographic profilers are up to date and accurate, this will help us to match you with the best possible surveys.

I hope that you will give us a second chance and come back to earn your Macbook pro.

Kind Regards,

New Jersey

Hi Kai,

Points2shop values opinions from all users. Market research companies create their surveys to target individuals with specific demographic profiles for their research. Ethnicity is one factor out of many that researchers consider when conducting their research.

It is very important to market researchers that the people they are collecting opinions from are representative for the country they are doing research in. They typically want the same percentage of Caucasians and females as there are in in your country. If our users have already filled all quota's for other races and ethnicity you would only qualify for this study being white. Typically, however, you will find that the quota's for white females are closed first due to a higher percentage of this group doing surveys.

If you were disqualified then it is most likely that you did not meet their target profile or they have collected all the answers they need. It is important to ensure that you have all of your profilers filled out accurately. You can access these by going to the “account” tab.

I hope you will reconsider and come back to Points2shop in the future.

Kind Regards,

Illinois

I love the site
October 30, 2012

I love the site. It definitely is NOT a scam. Earning points is so easy and it's very addicting sometimes! It's probably the best way to get anything you want from Amazon.com!

It is a full scam. Avoid this site. I have reported them to the BBB. Do not waste your time. As soon as you try to order you get banned and you cannot access customer service.

Hello Adam,

We have millions of user accounts and are not able to check them all manually daily. Therefore, if a user is not automatically blocked by our system any issues are identified when they order, as staff manually review accounts before approving orders. The majority of blocks are resolvable if you co-operate with our support team.

If you are having trouble contacting our support team via support ticket then please email me at support@points2shop.com and I will do my best to assist you. Please include “Site Jabber” in the title and a copy of this review.

Kind Regards,

Georgia

Scammed, refuse to pay
December 2, 2015

. After completing surveys and getting finalized on surveys, P2S stops my request for payment of the surveys. What a joke, not professional at all. Will tell all friends about this website on FB.

It is great, it allows you to easily access surveys and gain points in which you can shop online with. There's no credit card activation or anything and it is very safe to do

Be careful scam site
November 6, 2023

Be careful scam site
Be careful, this is a scammer website. These reviews here already indicate this. I accessed the site every day and managed to do only about 5 surveys in a few months, generally I was only able to do the ones I received in my email, I got the minimum amount to withdraw. I tried to access the website and received an invalid email and password error, I opened a ticket and received the following response from them:

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

We regret to inform you that our systems have identified activity that violates Cint's Participant Terms & Conditions for Panel Membership. As a result, we have deactivated your panelist account, and you will no longer have access to log in, participate in surveys or other research programs, or redeem any rewards.

This decision was made after a comprehensive review of your account(s) by our quality team and cannot be reversed.

They do not explain what these terms are and already indicate that they will not review them. This is a very common practice of scam sites, "my site, my rules, you didn't read the terms", be very careful with this site. I usually use several panels and I've had several problems, including account blocking, which have already been resolved because the site where it happened was trustworthy. I do not recommend that you use this site (Points to Shop) as you will be wasting your time and falling for a scam, as you will not receive your rewards, as there will always be a barrier making the process difficult. This site is part of Cint, but I consider Cint a reliable company because I participate in other panels and they always solve my problems, that was the only reason for using this site even with the bad reviews, it's really a shame, now I'll pay more attention to the evaluations before participating in a new panel.
