PaidViewpoint Reviews 254

The UI for the website makes doing these surveys feel like you're being scammed. You shouldn't be telling users they're going to make $0.80 in 5 minutes only to waste 3 minutes and only get $0.10. You should know that probably doesn't feel very good to users. You SHOULD be advertising them as $0.10 surveys since that's what they are guaranteed, and with a opportunity for a bonus (aka the real payout, if you qualify for the survey). Other than that, the website isn't ACTUALLY a scam and is actually a decent earner if you live in the US and have nothing else.

Changed my review back to a 3 star after getting a generic automated response from support instead of actually addressing the issue.

They just closed my account for no reason although I sent out my bank statement as a proof of my address, as I was half way through almost $8.00.
Communication is very unprofessional.

Ho provato a prelevare soldi perche la mia paypal era diversa della paypal sul sito. Dopo ho scritto un messaggio e dopo due giorni, loro mi hanno pagato questo sito è ottimo per fare soldi extra grazie paidviewpoint.

Update: My Payment Issue was resolved but I still have concerns that my account is somehow compromised. I changed my password and contacted my internet provider who is investigating why my IP showed up as another country for PVP.

I have been a member of PaidViewPoint for YEARS, I have a traitscore of 10,000 and have cashed out over $700 in the time I've used PaidViewPoint.
Recently my account was flagged for "VPN usage" when I know for a fact I don't use a VPN. PaidViewPoint provided me with a screenshot claiming I logged in from the Netherlands. When I asked for assistance, they told me "we’re unable to identify the specific cause of these logins for you. We can only confirm that they have occurred."
I believe my account was either compromised or this a glitch and PaidViewPoint claims they can't assist me any further.
I don't know if this is a data breach or a glitch. I also haven't received my most recent payout which flagged my account as "negatively affected because it appears you have been using a proxy server or VPN to access our site". I feel like my account was somehow compromised and I have concerns about the safety of the site now as they claim its happened once and not again.
I believe my account has been compromised somehow and I have concerns about using the site going forward until this is investigated and resolved.

Wonderful surveys and plenty of them. Thank you

I am very pleased that I am associated with PaidViewpoint for several years now. I appreciate the fact that they are so professionally managed. Their customer services are par excellence.
I had an issue with the PV site. I was promptly attended to upon writing to them and the issue resolved immediately.
I would certainly reccommend this site to everyone.

I want to know how many referrals do i need to cash out

Não é justo responder pesquisas para ganhar apenas $ 0,03 por cada pesquisa. Estou respondendo pesquisas há mais de um ano e não consegui coletar o valor que eles estipulam para retirada.

I am downgrading my rating a bit. For some months now it's barely worth the trouble. I still do it, but I'm almost not sure why. I mean, I guess it's better than nothing. It is legit. But the pay is so very, very low -- although I must say the pay is higher than some of the other survey sites. But in recent months I get a lot of notices of available surveys, I respond quickly, but then get a notice that the survey is no longer available. Or I see a survey that says it pays a higher amount, but then it results in a pay of ten cents. When I had no other online income source, this was at least a little something, but now that I have found online income that pays much more, It's almost not worth the trouble. *Almost* -- I'm still doing it, but I don't bother interrupting something else I might be doing.

Let me first off start by saying, I'm NOT a paid reviewer. My five star rating has to do with my real experiences only. These guys have been the most reliable survey site I've ever come across. I've been doing their surveys for about three years now. They're usually short and to the point. I can't say that you'll ever get rich from them (let's face it, no survey site will bring you wealth), but it's reliable and hardly ever do any of their surveys waste time by disqualifying you. I thought of giving them four stars just because they don't send as many surveys as I would like, but that wouldn't be fair.
Also, I don't know about anyone else but I can cash out after I reach the $5 mark.

This is simply a copy of a ticket I sent to PaidViewpoint a few minutes ago:

Hello,
Please don't take this as a hostile comment, but if there were an award for "Biggest waste of time on a survey site," you would win it hands down. I've been a member for around...2 years now, with a trait score of 10,000, and the compensation I've received for that is roughly equivalent to what I would (and have) received in 2-4 weeks from any of your legitimate competitors. I don't know what kind of game you're trying to run, but I'm not playing any more. Thank you for your time.

The long and short of it is, while this site fronts as being legitimate, even after obtaining the maximum "trait score" (which takes several months of taking every single survey they send you) you don't actually make more than around $0.30-$0.40 per survey, and they don't pay out until you hit $15.00. Until you hit the maximum trait score, you get $0.10 per survey 90% of the time, and you only have access to a few surveys a week.

So...you can use PaidViewpoint and make $0.50 per week for a year, then maybe $1 after that, by completing every survey available every day, or you could go to any number of other sites, take 1 or 2 of your choosing a day, and make 10x in a week from day one. Up to y'all :) .

Paid viewpoint is a decent app to earn extra money. I have friends who have earned 2100 usd in one year only by referrals. I have been doing it for 3 months and only made 23.00 usd. They send the surveys at night while I sleep then they expire and I earn nothing.

Subject: Complaint Regarding Unethical Practices and Handling of Frozen Accounts

Dear Paid Viewpoint Support Team,

I am writing to formally address several concerns I have encountered with your service, particularly regarding the unethical handling of accounts and funds when an email is hacked or stolen.

Firstly, it is deeply concerning that when an account is compromised, customers lose their funds, despite having no control over the security breach. This policy of penalizing customers for hacked accounts, regardless of the terms in your contract, is not just poor business practice—it is morally indefensible. It appears that your company profits significantly from the suffering of your customers, and this raises serious ethical questions.

Additionally, I would like to inquire about the interest accrued on funds held in frozen accounts. It is troubling to think that substantial amounts of money are sitting in these accounts, accruing interest for your company over extended periods, potentially up to a year. This practice suggests a disturbing lack of concern for customer welfare. Is the revenue generated from these frozen funds not sufficient to address the losses faced by your customers?

As a dedicated survey participant for many years, I am deeply disappointed by this lack of support and accountability. When customers need to change their email or recover their accounts, they should not be met with punitive measures or indifference.
One last thing. Your company only offered the one time change because I complained on a global site. Lets get that point out there. After I complained you offered. You are very right your company does not fit with my moral compass. I wish you the best of luck.

I just got an email from paid viewpoint stating that I could get paid $0.10 to $53 for a paid survey it didn't tell me how long though. I just think that's a horrible price for us to work for..

I was a member for 2 years, worked hard to get and keep the highest "trait score" (aka a badge of honesty) but as a UK user it is very apparent that the small window to accept and complete any decently paid survey is only available during USA work hours. After a massive update to their site in early 2024, the option to complete surveys would dribble in at maybe 1x ten cent survey a day, and even then the app only notified users half the time that there was a survey to complete. When I raised this with them all I got was sanctimonious replies that I should look into my phone settings. Users aren't stupid & know when they're being fobbed off. After slowly filling in my 10 cent surveys, I finally made my minimum $15 amount (£11 🙄) so I could cash out and close my account. Problematic app, awful customer service, paltry reward. Not worth it any more.

I've been a member of paid viewpoint for some years now. and lately, just because the company asking for the survey to be done, if they don't like your answer, you get punished. Well, I'm sorry. If I don't like a product and I'm asked why, I will explain. If I can't use a product in the survey, I will explain that too. If I'm asked to judge a cosmetic, but the model in the ad is a different color of skin, how can I determine how it would look on me? those are the things that have got me punished. This site is NOT worth it. You can't be honest and if the company hosting the survey doesn't like your answer, YOU get punished. There are better sites out there to use!

Since, I can't directly reply to paid viewpoint's rebuttal, I will here. I have never answered ok, I don't know, etc. to a question. As you can see here, I am versed in complete sentences. The fact still IS, the companies not liking your complete sentence answer will get you punished, as they state below, they won't get paid. Maybe it's time they ask the companies if they are being BIASED in the answers they are wanting and are refusing answers that don't meet their biased agenda.

oh, believe me. I've already deleted you from my computer bookmarks and have also used other websites to make people aware how you really are.

It's a shame that you wouldn't stand up for those taking your surveys, but wish to side with the companies that pay you.

but what do you plan on doing with the $5 dollars and change in my account, not forward it to my paypal? that only shows others how crooked you are.

I have never once given an inappropriate answer, have never given a one word answer ( ok, good, etc ) I have never even given a gibberish answer. I use complete sentences and give thought to my answers. I can't believe I'm being PUNISHED by the actions of the company wanting the survey. I am not responsible for their BIAS and what they want in their answers. And I don't understand why you are not standing up for those that participate in your program by questioning the companies. Is it because for the ones they reject with their BIAS, puts more money in your pockets.

You see it here folks. Paid viewpoint does NOT care about you. Only about the money they rake in. There are lots of reliable and reputable sites out there. Avoid paid viewpoint.

Total waste of time, you do one survey and earn 10 cents then have to wait hours for another if your lucky. Not worth the time.

They offered NO SURVEYS, and when I contacted them about it , they CRIED because I USED CAPS, LIKE I'M DOING NOW! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!

Took forever to get a payout hardly no surveys
