They blocked my account because once i had used a vpn to watch a series in another country Although they paid you in dollars because due to the vpn it looked like i was in the US instead of the UK they blocked my account. They offered to reinstate it if i would promise not to do it again
HOW PETTY WHEN THEY ONLY PAID YOU PEANUTS FOR LONG SURVEYS

Hi Liz. As we explained to you, using a VPN violates our Terms of Service, as it affects survey targeting and data quality. We offered to reinstate your account if you'd acknowledge this policy, but you declined. Our goal is to keep the platform fair and accurate for all members and researchers.

This people have unbelievably…
This people have unbelievably unfriendly policies! They are not friendly or understanding at all and not giving you second changes! They also do not let you change Paypal email address without either burning or freezing your money! Avoid!

Hi Liana,
Our Freeze/Burn policy is outlined in our FAQs, and we encourage all users to review our Terms of Service and policies before joining. Additionally, you are prompted to choose between freezing or burning your earnings when updating your information, ensuring awareness of this process.
While we may occasionally make exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case basis, we are unable to accommodate requests accompanied by threats of negative reviews, demands, or expectations of approval.

Handling of personal data
Be careful while using this app they retain your data when they ban or deactivate your account because you are on vacation. Once you click the app while on vacation they ban your account and keep using your data.
I highly don’t recommend this app for survey participants, they are very unprofessional, send you lengthy rude emails and ban your account when it’s 98% to cash out & keep the Pennie’s you have earned!

Hi Chioma,
As we explained to you, our platform is not set up for people who travel. This is because our clients commission the research surveys you receive, and are very specific about the demographics they wish to target, sometimes down to the zip code. In order to ensure our clients are reaching the people they would like to, we have various security measures in place to ensure that people are where and who they say they are.
For members that share their time between multiple countries or states, we suggest they register their account in the location where they either spend the most time, or where they have documents of registration. If you are travelling elsewhere, we would ask that you not log into your account while doing so to avoid further issues with your account.
Please also note this is the first question listed on our FAQ page, and is mentioned in our Reward Rules. Accounts with fraudulent activity that cannot validate their account are banned to prevent re-registration.

Just be warned
Just be warned, you will spend a lot of time doing surveys and then when the time comes to cash out, you won't be able to. They require you to wait for a text or call for a code and then they never send it. If you want to change your phone number to a land line or even another mobile phone number because something's not working, they then freeze your account for a ridiculous amount of time....180 days, or you can just forfeit your cash altogether. By the time you get paid, if ever, you won't care any more. And of course, there's no one available to contact when you need help. You can write a ticket and then maybe 2 or 3 "business days" someone will answer. I spent a lot of time doing those surveys and now cannot cash out. Do not waste your time, there are far better sites. This one is a ripoff. UPDATE in reply to your reply: You need to change your policy about freezing the cashout. It is unethical and cruel, regardless of what you have or don't have in your terms. I am making a complaint to Michigan's Attorney General. There are many other survey sites, and I have never seen ONE of them give anyone such a hassle just to cashout. Security matters are handled when the person creates their account. You know very well that hardly anyone reads all of the pages of small print outlining terms and conditions like the ones you have, and you also know, or should know, that yours are very unusual. If you look through the reviews here, you can plainly see that I am not the first person to complain about your "policy", so I'm sure they've had a similar experience to mine, which means you have saved a lot of money that you owed people and never paid. If you really wanted to be transparent, you'd warn people in large print. Terms and conditions or not, YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR POLICY because it is ridiculous and there's no reason why people should have to jump through this many hoops in order to cash out after they've done the work. Either there was something wrong with my phone or with the network, and you made no effort whatsoever to accommodate me or to pay what you owed. As for my "threat" of a bad review, it wasn't a threat. It was a promise. And so here it is. This is a lousy way to treat people, regardless of your screenshots, and you know it. For a company that brought in nine million in revenue for 2025, you'd think it would be easy to pay a 71 year old retiree her $15.59. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. UPDATE: Finally, I did get through to them, after I got a new phone and tried again. But this was after I actually purchased a new smart phone...I requested a call, and got a phone call with the code. So now I am waiting for payment and I'll give them credit for that if I receive it. However, their support is awful and I did go to the Michigan AG because it should NOT be this hard just to cash out. Things could have been handled a lot better the first time I tried, and to freeze the account for 180 days is ridiculous.

Hi Patricia,
As we’ve explained in multiple tickets, our senior support team is unavailable on evenings and weekends, and a 24-48 hour response time is reasonable. We also provided a screenshot showing the multiple texts and messages sent to validate your phone. Our Freeze/Burn policy is clearly outlined in our Terms of Service, Reward Rules, and FAQs. While sometimes we offer exceptions to this policy, we cannot do so when accompanied by the threat of a negative review.

Banned me at 97% to withdrawal threshold
They give you cents for surveys which may take you years to get to the withdrawal threshold . Then they will reduce the frequency of the survey when you are 97% to reach withdrawal and finally ban you for nothing . They have rude customer support too .
Update : They have still not unbanned me yet . I do not recommend . Please paid viewpoint, stop stealing data from people and banning them when they are close to cashing out
Update: This was not the case as I was not given adequate time to submit file for verification. If your team is transparent, follow due process . The negative reviews here speaks volumes too as I am not the only one complaining. My advice to new users is to be careful when dealing with this company.Meanwhile , I think you should update your bot as I never logged in in some of the countries you mentioned above.

Hi Chidiebere,
We enforce our Terms of Service to ensure a fair platform for all users, regardless of their earnings. Accounts are only banned for violating these terms. Survey availability can fluctuate, and we do not limit access based on withdrawal progress. Your account was banned due to irregular login activity, as it was registered in Saudi Arabia, but we observed logins from Nigeria, the UK, and Germany. Our platform isn’t designed for users who travel frequently, as stated in our FAQ. We offered you the chance to provide documentation to verify your registered location, but it was not submitted, leading to the account ban.

Not worth my time
I started with them last October. At first, I thought it was great. Many surveys paid pennies, but a few paid well. I answered the questions the same way for months, no feedback whatsoever. Then last week, get a email with a warning about a survey, my answers were not adequate. So I asked, what survey and answers. They sent me list of about 8 in the last 4 months, that were inadequate. They could not be specific to the answers. That is fine, but maybe do a warning right away, and give a chance for improvement, or tell them they no longer are eligible to participate. Instead, no warning and you modify cash out option, and reward options. So I had to use PayPal, I have no idea how to get my remaining money, as I plan to leave. It's not worth it, for such little money and poor practices.

Thank you for your feedback. Based on previous member input, most preferred not to receive a notification for every rejected survey, so we adjusted our system to notify members after every third rejection. We understand this may not work for everyone and appreciate your perspective. If you need assistance with your remaining balance, PayPal remains an option, and our support team is happy to help. We appreciate your time with us.

They just closed my account for no…
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.
Response from PaidViewpointJan 23, 2025
Hi Joe,
Your last reply to our request for documentation, prompted by logins from outside your registered area, was "no way bye." As a result, your account was closed for Terms of Service violations. We received your email with the documentation after your message refusing to provide it.

O site paga muito pouco por cada pesquisa
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.

Hi Marques,
Those are our Trait Surveys. They help us get to know you better, but are not money-making surveys for us, so they will always earn the same. Research Surveys are where you earn more because they are commissioned by our clients. If you're not receiving Research Surveys, please open a support ticket so we can take a look at your account.
