Thank you for giving us a try. Though we do pay for every survey you take with us, we do not advertise that you will earn large sums with us. We understand our site is not for everyone. Please stay safe and well.

One of the best and most reliable…

One of the best and most reliable survey sites online. Sure, you only get .10 to begin with but you will never be DQed - my experience - but I believe it's true for all members. And the longer you've been a member you will get a fair amount of higher paying surveys once your trait score is completed. Customer service is great; I've dealt with them a couple of times and they were so helpful and very nice to deal with. The cashout minimum has been lowered to $5 and, at least for PayPal, you get your money fast. I have no complaints about PaidViewpoint and would highly recommend it.

Thank you for your review Trilby!

You are right that you are only invited to surveys we think you will qualify for, and you always get a minimum of $.10 for any Research Survey you take, regardless of if you qualify or not. We're glad to hear that our Support Team has been helpful to you.

We also changed our cash out options last year. Everyone needs to cash out at $15 the first time. For accounts in good standing, you will be able to cash out at $10 the second time, and $5 each time after that!

Not bad

Not bad. But it is doubt that Whether it will be possible to cash out at all.

The speed at which you will reach the cash out threshold is determined by the availability of Research Surveys available to your area and demographic, and how often you check your dashboard for surveys.

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time. It offer $0.03 per servey. And you neet at least $15+ to be able to cash out. It's one servey per day. That mean 505 days (more than one year) to make $15. I thought this would be extra money in my pocket, but I'm done with this! because honestly I already make more than $15 a day at my current job. I even had different serveys multiple times (repeatedly) . Can not believe this is the top rated servey site, very disappointing.

Hi Elmarie. The 3 cent surveys you are seeing are our Trait Surveys. These will always be low-earning surveys because they are not money-making surveys for us. They help us better understand your demographics to make sure you are getting Research Surveys that you will qualify for, they increase your TraitScore, and they help us look for bots and cheaters.

The Research Surveys are the ones where you will make more money. And once you reach a TraitScore of 9000 or above, you will receive more for each Research Survey than others with a lower TraitScore. That being said, our Research Survey rewards are based on how long and difficult (or short and easy) each survey is. These surveys can range in rewards from 20 cents to several dollars, but there is no guarantee on any sort of schedule or rewards amount. That's because these surveys are based entirely on what our clients are ordering. Because it's based on the orders we receive, we can't set an expectation on how often you'll see Research Surveys, or how much you'll earn for each one. Some of our international members will not see as many Research Surveys because their demographic or location aren't researched as much as other locations such as the US and the UK.

Why don't more survey sites do it like this?

Having used PaidViewpoint for about a month now, I'm confident stating the following: this site, in its present iteration, is the model from which all other survey sites should be cast.

First and foremost: there are no disqualifications. No more spending 5-10 minutes, or even longer, answering a bunch of profiling questions only to be told you don't match the targeted demographic and get nothing for your time. Once you click the entry button, you know you're getting paid at the end.

Second, no disqualifications means no rejections due to filled quotas. Other survey platforms will have you answer profiling questions after you've already entered a survey, only to tell you they've already hit the maximum number of participants. With PaidViewpoint, once you've opened the tab and clicked the button to enter the survey, you're free to take your time.

Third, with fewer exceptions than any other survey site I've tried, if you've answered a profiling question on your user account, you will not have to answer it again during a survey. When you do, it's usually as part of quality control to ensure you're reading the responses before you click them.

Fourth, all the surveys take place on the PaidViewpoint site - you won't be rerouted to some other offsite research platform to take a survey and then redirected to the main site once you're done. This means that you won't run into technical issues common to other survey sites that do follow this model, where you can complete a survey only to have your responses get lost in the wash and not get credited properly.

All this efficiency saved adds up to a very reasonable return for your time, at least compared with other survey sites. The little dot on your browser tab lets you know when you have a survey ready to go, even when you're busy with something else. I got my first $15 payout in nine days, and it took between 5 and 30 minutes of survey-taking each day to get there, which is as good a value for money as any other survey site I can recall. And it's a nice little loyalty boon that after your first payout, the minimum amount for your second payout goes down to $10, and then to $5 for the third.

The biggest caveat, if you want to call it that, for the price of no disqualifications is fewer surveys overall. This is not one of those mass collection platforms where there will always be a survey to take; sometimes several hours, and occasionally full days, can go by without a new survey opportunity. As I alluded to earlier, there's never been more than 30 minutes' worth of surveys for me to take in a given day in my time using the site - and I'm American, so it may be even less for users outside the U.S. So if you have large chunks of time that you only want to spend filling out surveys, I'd suggest at least supplementing PaidViewpoint with other survey platforms.

There are also a few eccentricities that I've run into so far; for instance, before I cashed out the first time, it seemed a little strange that I was forced to provide my Paypal to verify the account even though I elected to receive payment via an Amazon card. But for me this is a minor nit in what is overall an excellent survey-taking experience, and I would encourage all my fellow survey-takers out there to participate in PaidViewpoint so that this great site model can continue to grow.

Thank you so much for your thorough review, J!

To explain your last note, we require the first cash out for every member to be through PayPal for verification and security purposes, and to prevent cheaters and bots from gaining access to other forms of payment.

Happy Earnings!

The best survey site that I have found so far. They do not always have surveys available, but they never waste your time and disqualify you from surveys that you’ve started. I made around 65 bucks in the first month or so and cashing out is easy.

Cute graphics; very low pay

Most of the surveys pay literal pennies. I made about 80 dollars a year total. Plus, you can randomly stop getting surveys and be unable to cash out your remaining balance. Be careful with this one and cash out early and often. EDIT: To be clear, it is not only the trait surveys that are low paying, regardless of what the company cuts and pastes in response to everyone who leaves a bad review. I also had the highest "trait score" possible. It literally makes no difference.

These are our trait surveys. They help us get to know you better, but are not money-making surveys for us, so they will always be lower earning surveys. The research surveys are where you will be able to earn more.

The volume of survey invitations you receive from us fluctuates based on many factors, your Trait score, your response speed and history in the past, business demand for the opinions of people with your demographics and many other factors. Sophisticated algorithms manage survey invitations have been developed over the years to achieve a sustainable balance in our ecosystem. That said, we recognize that nothing is perfect and constantly tweaking and upgrading it to improve the experience for our members.

*Edit* We do not advertise that you can make a lot of money with our site. Earning $80 a year with us means that you were able to cash out at least 5 times. This is about average for our members. Your Trait Score affects the amount you earn for Research Surveys, not Trait Surveys, which is what we were trying to explain above.

We understand that our platform is not for everyone. We are sorry that you are disappointed with our site, and understand your concerns. We wish you well.

FRAUDS, THIEVES

FRAUDS. The people who run Paidviewpoint are thieving criminal slavers. They take advantage of slave labor and don't even pay out EVER. Been on the site for over a year and only accumulated 5$ which they don't pay out until 15$ which is unachievable unless you do a million slave surveys for 3 MEASILY PENNIES each. Rarely get surveys and when you do, you have 3 hours to find out you have a survey or you don't get paid even if you complete the survey.

They designed it so you only have a 3 hour window to find out and complete a survey to get more than 3 cents or if you find out you have a survey after 3 hours then you just get 3 cents to complete a FULL survey. Paid viewpoint is run by frauds and the site needs to be shut down and the owners charged for fraud and the users paid what they are owed in damages. There should be a class action lawsuit against these frauds taking advantage of desperate low income people just trying to survive and stealing their labor.

Hi there. You are referring to our Trait Surveys. These are not money-making surveys for us, so they will always be lower earning. We use them to weed out bots and increase your TraitScore, which allows us to send you more surveys relevant to you.

Research Surveys are the ones that pay more because they are commissioned by our clients. To make sure you are maximizing the number of Research Surveys you are seeing, please make sure that all your demographics are up to date, you have your notifications turned on, and you are checking your dashboard throughout the day for surveys that are not emailed out.

The three hour window you mentioned is our guarantee for a minimum reward for Research Surveys. They tend to fill up quickly, and we cannot guarantee a higher reward after that time frame.

All that being said, we understand our site is not for everyone. We appreciate you giving us a try, and wish you well.

An Excellent Survey Site!

I've been a member of Paidviewpoint for over 2 years now and they have always been a good money maker for me. I really like the fact that every survey they send to your account dashboard is one that you can do... rather than other survey sites where you might answer several questions just to be told that you "don't meet the demographic". I take a payout from Paidviewpoint about every two weeks.

Max trade score gives same as 0 trade score

I'm at max trade score of 10,000 and I make 0.30 a week.

98% of surveys are still worth 10 cents and about 3-5 minutes; the other 2% is like 50 cent, but that's once a @#$% solar eclipse.

Fair and easy!

That site is wonderful site. That site is allowed to all countries. It is super cool! They don't interest that where you come from,who you are. No countries limit,no prevent that use for vpn. I'm not from Chinese but I use vpn so my ip address is show up Chinese. Some surveys site is not allowed to use vpn. I'm a student and the internet in my country is so bad so I used vpn. I can do surveys with this site! Thank you very much! I want to do more surveys but this site give us only one survey a day. It will be more comfortable if the side can let us to do at least five surveys in a day.

Hi Ashfaquar. Though most of our surveys are for the US, UK, and Canada, we operate in 48 countries around the world. Generally speaking, we do not close our members accounts unless they request it, or there is a serious security concern with your account.

Most deserving of a 5-star rating

I have participated in a number of survey sites for several years now and PaidViewPoint continues to be one of the most reliable and with ever consistent quality. The surveys are short, well presented, and no-nonsense. As you build up a trust level on the site, you're offered more frequent opportunities with higher value attached. Payouts are fast and efficient. The team that manages the site does so with mindful care and a touch of humor. They do require that you be honest, update profile data when asked, and adhere to their rules. They take security very seriously and while some may see such measures as cumbersome, I find them very reassuring. I give them high marks and hope PaidViewPoint will be in the "survey biz" for a very long time!

I registered with paidviewpoint around four years ago. I love the format and its very easy to use. Although the surveys are short, it does add up over time. I have never yet been screened out and they are very fair. I dont tend to get the longer, better paying surveys which is a shame. However I love this site and have had absolutely no issues with it.

I have had a really good experience. I qualify for almost every survey they provide in the dashboard and no issues with being paid. I wish there was a little more clarity about how much each survey is but I am very happy compared to other companies.
