I have no idea why this survey panel did not get 5 stars because I have been with them for 7 years and had no issue getting paid. They have been great for me and I would recommend this panel. Customer service has also been very helpful.

easy surveys for some extra cash
I have been doing the surveys since 2019 and have accumulated about $160 so far. I think they are kind of fun. I noticed as long as you do the surveys as soon as you get a notification for them you will get more frequent surveys throughout the day. It does take a little bit of time to get up to the $15 threshold, but the surveys are worth it. They don't take up much of your time and are very easy. I have never had a problem cashing out because my PayPal is active and I usually get the transfer within 2 days. $15-$20-$50 definitely helps with gas or paying down some of your CC, and is great especially when you can get that cash just by sitting in your own home (or wherever) and taking a survey for a couple mins.

Been doing for 5 years
After 6 years, I am surprised I am still doing their surveys. Yes, there are no dq's but indeed the trait score is a lie. Alot of times 10 cents is all you get, even with the highest score.
The 15$ payout is too high, and it does take a while to cash out. However, in my case, it is happening faster than before.
Even though the change of phone number rule and advice to change it after cashing out, is mentioned on their page, it is indeed harsh because if you do not know this, you will loose all your earnings. Best to keep in mind.
Overall, their customer service seems fair + quick response compared to most others.
Response from PaidViewpointMar 10, 2022
Hi JP! So the surveys you mentioned are our Trait Surveys. These will always be low-earning surveys because they are not money-making surveys for us. The Research Surveys are the ones where you will make more money when your TraitScore is 9000 or above.
The phone number rule was instituted because we had people trying to cheat our system via changing phone numbers and cashing out other people's accounts. This is for our member's protection. If you need to change your phone number, we recommend reaching out to support first.
We also updated our cash out options last year, as your complaint was a common one. Everyone needs to cash out at $15 threshold 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!

A COMPLETE RIP OFF
A COMPLETE RIP OFF. Even though (after a year) I got to $15.00. They WILL NOT let me cash out - even with a validated PayPal account because I no longer have the phone # I had 2 years ago. I must wait 6 months if I change my phone number. HUH?
PAIDVIEWPOINT.COM = RIPOFF

The phone number rule was instituted because we had people trying to cheat our system via changing phone numbers and cashing out other people's accounts. There is a warning in the platform that lets you know that your earnings will be frozen for 180 days before you change your number. This is for our member's protection.
Did you reach out to support about your issue? Sometimes they are able to work with our members if they have a valid reason for changing their number.

Very Low Rate for non-US citizens
0.03 for a trait survey that comes once a day. I've accumulated $1.27 so far and I'm losing my patience. On a positive side, the interface is attractive.

Thank you for your review. You are right that our international members do not see as many surveys. We appreciate you giving us a try.

Decent site for a trickle of income
The good:
- Pays out to paypal, not just gift cards
- Doesn't waste your time with DQs, always pays you a little something for your time
- I earned around $140 in my first year.
The bad:
- Lies about how you'll earn more with a higher trait score. You do technically make money from all the "trait surveys" that are just to establish consistency, so it's still basically to your benefit, but it just gives the same message about how you're earning more because of your higher trait score when it's obviously the same rate you were making in the beginning. Don't lie to people.
- Pays less depending on your country. In the US, you'll rarely make less than 10 cents each survey, but in other countries that can be 8 or even 3 cents. Might be less worth doing in those countries.
- Surveys are honestly pretty low paid, though I guess that's the trade-off for no DQs.
- Trait score surveys get repetitive and boring, though you get paid for them so whatever.
What to know in general:
- Cash out is at $15. It takes me 1-2 months on average to get there.
- Don't wait for emails, either keep the tab open and wait for the red dot to appear in the tab's icon, or use a third party browser extension like Distill to check for changes in the page. New surveys are available several times a day, and you can make a lot more money if you're ready to pounce on them.
- This is a trickle of money, not a torrent, but it's also a trickle of labor, not a torrent, so it seems fair. Earnings are slow but steady.
- They say "no DQs" but there are sort of DQs. What happens is you get some qualifying questions, and if you don't qualify, it simply ends as a trait survey and you get your 10 cents or whatever your country's minimum is. Since it's only as long as a trait survey, this feels completely fair and I don't mind being DQed this way at all. If you qualify you get a longer survey with higher pay.
- I do wish they told you how much the longer surveys would pay before you entered into them, but whatever. Transparency is always a good.
- You almost never just exit out of a survey with no pay at all, but once in a blue moon you qualify for a survey that's already hit its quota and get a message about how that survey was taken by some early birds or something. This feels like a bug, because normally you should get the 10 cents at least for your participation. This is rare, but I wish they'd fix it.
- Be honest! Don't try to lie to qualify for more surveys, they'll notice and you'll lose your account, it isn't worth it to get 88 cents slightly faster or whatever.
Overall, I like the site, it's one of the fairer, more respectful, and more user-friendly survey sites out there. It's one I can use and stay chill and not end up wanting to punch a wall over the junk most survey sites pull.

Thank you for your thorough review. We think "slow and steady" is an accurate assessment. :)
We have clarified the wording on our site to let our members know that increased payment for surveys is only for Research Surveys when you reach a TraitScore of 9000 or above. Our Trait Surveys will always pay the same, regardless of your TraitScore, because we do not make money on them.
We updated our cash out options last year, as your complaint was a common one. Everyone needs to cash out at $15 threshold 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!
We are also working on allowing you to see on your dashboard how much a survey will pay and about how long it will take by the end of the year.
Thank you for your feedback!

I stumbled upon paidviewpoint.com while searching for something else. I was initially impressed with their elegant website and, most importantly, how the earnings show with each completed survey. They pay actual dollars, not points, plus a Traitscore which reflects one's character and personality which I love and never seen before on any other survey site. Recently, there was very long pause between surveys; I cashed out for fear they wouldn't return but they did and I received my cash. It seems they were having issues with hackers and had to put extra security measures in place to protect the members and themselves, as well. I have done amazingly well so far earnings-related; in fact my trait score is now 1000, the highest I can go and need to keep it while continuing to earn dollars. I highly recommend this site to anyone who wishes to make real dollars the fun and legal way.

Thank you for your review, Lori! You're right that we had some issues with hackers, but we've updated our security measures to prevent it from happening again.

Some of our international members will find it takes much longer to reach their initial cash out threshold. We appreciate you giving us a try.
