PaidViewpoint (PVP) is a great way to earn a little extra cash. I've been using it since 2023. I'm always grateful when I earn enough to cash out!
WHY I LOVE PVP-
*Surveys are only 2-5 minutes long
*The variety of subject matter is fun, interesting and often introduces me to new products!
*You will ALWAYS get a small reward-so nobody gets 'disqualified'.
HOW IT WORKS:
*Outside/Partner surveys are quick (most are 2-5 minutes) so the small payouts ($.10-$1.25 to start) add up FAST.
*In the beginning, outside surveys may be sparse, but you will get plenty of Traitscore surveys (honesty checkers) that add to your PVP profile. Traitscore questionnaires are 1-2 minutes long ($.10 reward) and consist of a few questions-new and repeats-to check the accuracy of the information you provide.
*The more surveys you answer, the higher your traitscore, which will lead to more surveys and better payouts.

If there was a zero rating I would have given them, they are a proper scam site, allow you to complete the surveys for possible withdrawal, then come up with your location is different, so you should present evidence. Of which I present my telecom bill and my council tax bill and they still told me that it is evidence enough!

In 2018, I completed my first survey, and I continue to do so now. In addition to offering several surveys that are simple to do and cover a wide range of subjects, the website offers incentives promptly—within 72 hours or less. them to cash out quickly and receive your gift card or other incentives.

I made my account 2 days ago. So far I have only answered 1 or 2 surveys. The first one (if any) was on my first day. Then, it told me to wait so they can give me another survey. I waited for 2 days until it gave me another survey for which I got paid 3 cents. And I need 13 more dollars to be able to cash out. That survey site is bs. I definitely do NOT recommend. You WILL waste your time.

While the interface is one of the more user friendly out there, their customer service is snarky, condescending, and worse, threatening.
Just beware that if you disagree with them (as they cannot be wrong or even agree to disagree), they will threaten you with deplatforming you, which is very typical liberal behavior from my life experience.
EDIT: I shared the Paid Viewpoint customer service thread with a former business associate who found their customer service unprofessional, condescending, self righteous, rude, threatening, and simply unwilling to see the customers point of view. And they also agreed, that yes, vegetable/beef is a legitimate flavor which is where this all started and the fact they refused even agree to disagree here.
Paid Viewpoint needs to simply admit their customer service mishandled this I too have been in customer service and made mistakes.

update!
The questions are easy and simple... I'm sorry, but this seems to be the longest free earning site I've joined,before you can earn so maybe I won't continue with this site because it seems to take the longest to accumulate or earn... i think it might take a year before you can cash out from this app. I'm sorry for not continuing, but thank you. You deserve 1 star to improve your site and have a better and more organized platform.

To Whom It May Concern (and Potential Users of PaidViewpoint),
I am writing this review to express my profound dissatisfaction and to detail the significant decline in survey quality, compensation, and overall user experience following PaidViewpoint's recent platform changes and new interface. As a loyal member for several years, I have directly witnessed a complete degradation of service that is both frustrating and, frankly, unethical.
The previous system was vastly superior in every aspect. Under the old model:
* Surveys were structured to provide relevant criticism and feedback, often on a more personal level.
* We received bonus compensation for added effort, which incentivized thorough responses.
* Crucially, survey compensation was transparent and fair. If a survey was advertised at $5.00, that is precisely what was compensated upon completion. They only presented surveys for which users qualified, ensuring time was not wasted.
The current system, by contrast, is an dismal failure and appears designed to extract maximum effort for minimal compensation:
* Wasted Time and Low Compensation: It is unacceptable to spend time on surveys only to be disqualified and receive a mere $0.10. This is distinct from "Trait Score" surveys, which are clearly marked as $0.10 upfront. When a survey is listed at, for example, $2.10, and a user is disqualified, receiving only $0.10 is a blatant misrepresentation and a waste of the user's time. This was never an issue with the old system, where disqualification meant you simply didn't take the non-qualifying survey.
* Exploitative Compensation for Effort: The compensation has been drastically lowballed. It is outrageous to be asked to write lengthy essay questions within surveys that are long in duration, only to be compensated a paltry $0.20 to $0.30. There is no indication of the estimated time commitment for these surveys, forcing users into extensive work for pennies. This demonstrates a clear disregard for the value of our time and effort.
* Unjustified Cashout Threshold Changes: My status and cashout threshold have been arbitrarily changed multiple times. After years of being able to cash out at $5.00, I was suddenly informed of "issues" leading to an increased cashout threshold of $15.00. This claim was made without providing clear proof or screenshots, despite my repeated requests. This is the third such instance of my cashout status being altered without transparent justification, and it feels like a deliberate tactic to delay payments and exploit users. I have diligently gone back and forth with support within my account, requesting a review to lower my cashout limit, only to be denied with the justification that they had already lowered it for a previous request and could not do so again, despite providing no proof for this latest increase. As a long-standing member, I find it demeaning to be treated as though I am "begging" for a fair cashout.
* Delayed Payouts and Inconsistent Processing: Under the old system, payments were instant. Now, I am frequently forced to wait 72 hours or even multiple days for payouts, even for the already "lowballed" amounts. This inconsistency, coupled with occasional instant payouts, suggests that PaidViewpoint has discretionary control over payout speed, which is a significant concern and contradicts the excuses provided for delays. This erratic payment processing adds to the frustration and lack of trust.
It is evident that PaidViewpoint is making substantial profits from the personal data provided by users, while simultaneously implementing policies that significantly undervalue the contributions of those users. The frequent, unproven changes to my cashout status, the low compensation for extensive work, and the inconsistent payment processing are all examples of unfair and unethical business practices.
Furthermore, the responses from their support team to concerns and complaints have often been dismissive, rude, and filled with sarcasm. Attempts to justify these new practices by vaguely referencing "trait score" when it's clearly not applicable to the specific issue of low compensation for disqualified surveys, are disingenuous and unhelpful.
I am utterly exhausted with the current state of PaidViewpoint and these ongoing issues. I am sharing this detailed account so that others may see the challenges and unfair treatment loyal users are now experiencing. I will no longer recommend or refer anyone to their platform. The lack of transparency, fair compensation, and consistent treatment for long-term users is unacceptable.

In order to cash out you need a phone number which I changed. Now I have to wait 180 days or delete all my money to update phone number. Officially the worst survey site ever no wonder it has a 2 star rating.

Paid Viewpoint had it going for them at first. They offered a lot of different, well qualifying, and paid incentives. Until I made the required $15 to cash out. There were some issues and maybe they will make an exception as they have stated they sometimes do for accounts with no outstanding issues.. I guess I will give that a try and finish my review.

Dont waste your time here. I have used some of the worse survye app, I can confidently say that this is the worst.

Thank god for paid viewpoint.They come through for me more than any other method of online cash making.The surveys accept me a lot and if they don't I get 10 cents for answering trait questions.The surveys are fun and relatable.By far the best survey app out there!

I reached 15 bucks to cash out, I connect my PayPal (which does have my entered email linked to it as a side email, it's just that the main email is different), and it claims I verified the wrong email despite the fact I absolutely didn't, and the only options are for me to "burn my earnings" (lose them all, which is unethical irregardless of the TOS) or freeze them for 180 days. I was doing this site because surveys are one of my few sources of income, but I will not be using it in the future. Highly suggest you stay clear of this site, especially if you depend on surveys like I do.

it's great and all but i only get one survey per day and it pays me 3cents for each survey ,by the way the survey is even after every three days ,all i am saying is if one survey is going to take three days why is the pay so small.

They have never sent me a survey, had to look myself and then only got $0.03 for doing the one survey there. HMMMM!

After investing considerable time with PaidViewpoint, I feel compelled to warn others about my disappointing experience. What initially seemed promising turned into a frustrating waste of time.
It took me about a month of consistent effort to reach their 10,000 trait points threshold, which they promote as some kind of achievement. During my first couple of months, I managed to earn around $50 total, which wasn't terrible but certainly not worth the time investment.
The red flags were numerous. They constantly bombard users with personal questions, adding more invasive ones periodically. This made me increasingly uncomfortable - are they selling this personal data? I can't prove it, but it certainly seems possible given their business model.
The worst part came AFTER reaching 10,000 trait points. Instead of better opportunities as implied, I received exactly ONE survey that paid decently ($3.00) while the vast majority paid a measly $0.10 each. Some of these "dime surveys" required 15+ minutes to complete! Occasionally, I'd get one that paid $0.40, but these were rare exceptions.
The supposed "benefits" of reaching their point threshold never materialized. All I got was more access to poorly paying surveys that significantly undervalued my time and input. Their entire system appears designed to extract maximum value from participants while providing minimal compensation.
In my opinion, their business model seems to involve collecting our survey responses, paying us pennies, then likely charging their clients much higher rates for the data we provide. This creates a hugely imbalanced value exchange that benefits only them.
I cannot recommend this site to anyone seeking legitimate online income. Your time is simply worth more than what PaidViewpoint is willing to pay.

Just started out with them, and so far has been great. I'm getting survey's where it only takes 5 minutes to complete, and they also gave me 4 dollars for one survey.
They never DQ you in a survey so when you start it your guaranteed to get paid.
Thanks PaidViewpoint

I have had an account with this site for several years now and had over $21.00 owing me. But today when I clicked on an invite from them they were asking me to create a NEW account and my old account and $21.00 are gone!!! This is FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOUR and I want the $21.00 owed to me !!!

I really like this site. Their times given for a survey are very accurate and they always pay, even if I'm not what they are looking for, they will end it soon, but still pay .10¢. It's my second favorite site, but only because of the amount of surveys available. They may not have not a couple a day, or sometimes more. They do take about a day to payout, but I'm okay with that. I had a problem with not being able to change my email linked to PayPal, but they resolved that for me rather quickly. I wish I had a couple of more sites like this.

Probably the worst survey site I’ve ever come across. Literally pay you $.10 for most of the surveys and they only come once every couple of days.
I used the site whilst on holiday for a week and my account was put on hold. They wanted very personal information to be uploaded, which I’m definitely not going to do. They have kept my money because I didn’t reach the threshold of $15. Avoid this at all costs. Life is too important to waste time with this firm.
