Surveys with fairly high rewards, PayPal from $3, and open in most countries. Many other sites now pay more.

The short answer
GrabPoints is legit and safe, and you can earn money here. I have been paid by it many times myself. It has existed since 2014, has fairly high rewards, a low $3 payout threshold, and pays through PayPal.
But many other survey sites now pay more per survey, even for the same surveys, and you are now limited to surveys and inviting friends. If you are inactive for 30 days, your account is reset to zero. GrabPoints has fallen behind, in my opinion.
- Fairly high rewards
- Low payout threshold: $3
- Offers payment via PayPal
- Pays out instantly in most cases
- Available worldwide, with an app for Android and iOS
- You will not qualify for all surveys
- Some countries might not have so many opportunities
- Support could be better
- Has some pop-up ads
- Your points reset to zero after 30 days of inactivity

Is GrabPoints legit and safe?
Yes, GrabPoints is legit and safe. I have been paid by it many times. But that does not necessarily mean it is the right option for you. Here is what you should know before you start.
- Your points reset after 30 days of inactivity
If you do not take any surveys or offers for 30 days, your account is reset to zero. Stay active, or cash out before you take a break.
- You verify your phone number at your first cashout
You get a verification code by SMS. It is very easy and only takes a few seconds.
- Some readers report unpaid surveys and deleted accounts
GrabPoints has always paid me without any issues. If you do not get paid for something you completed, an ad blocker, a VPN or rushing through surveys can be the reason. Talk to their support about it.
- Support is hit and miss
I have contacted GrabPoints a couple of times. Sometimes I got quick and useful replies, other times the support was not great, so you may need patience.
- Pop-up ads
Pop-up ads now appear from time to time. It makes the user experience a bit worse, in my opinion.
My takeIn my opinion, the pros outweigh the few cons, as it has great rewards, a low payout threshold, and it is easy to use. However, I have tested hundreds of survey and GPT sites, and GrabPoints has just fallen behind, in my opinion. There are many better sites you can join to earn more, and this is something to consider before joining.
How you earn on GrabPoints
There are 2 main ways to earn. Surveys make up most of the money. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveysMain earner
Most surveys come from survey routers and third-party providers. You see the survey on GrabPoints, and it opens in a new screen. In most cases, you see the reward right away when you finish.
You will not qualify for all surveys, but GrabPoints has a decent number. After a while, you learn which types you mostly qualify for and can focus on those.
When I first joined, GrabPoints had some of the highest rewards for some surveys. That has changed, and many other survey sites now pay more per survey, even for the same surveys. But it is still a decent place to take paid surveys.
Refer friendsUp to 10% for life
Share your invitation link. At the gold level, you earn up to 10% commission for life on what your referrals earn.
You do not start at 10%. When you first join, you get no referral commission at all, and there are several levels to qualify for before gold. It is still not as good as the referral program on a site like PrizeRebel, but a lot better than it used to be.
The person who joins through your link gets a 1,000-point joining bonus.

How much can you make?
It depends a lot on the country you live in, and on the time you spend there.
GrabPoints used to have many more ways to earn. Now you are limited to surveys and inviting people, which has affected the earning potential a bit. In general, I would still say it has a good earning potential compared to most other survey sites.
You can make some extra money, but you will not make a full-time income from it or become rich.
Payout methods and minimums
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $3 | Cash, usually paid immediately |
| Bank transfer | $3 | Only in some countries |
| Venmo | $3 | Only in some countries |
| Gift cards: Amazon, Home Depot and more | Varies by card | Which cards you get depends on your country |
You earn points, and you always see before you start how many points you get. In general, 1,000 points is $1, but the exact value can vary a bit by reward. The processing time is up to 48 hours, but you usually receive your earnings immediately.
The first time you cash out, you verify your phone number with a code by SMS. If you like PayPal, see the top sites that pay via PayPal.
Is GrabPoints worth it in your country?
You can join GrabPoints from more or less all countries, but the number of opportunities varies a lot. Pick your country to see where GrabPoints stands on my list of the best sites there.
What 78 readers told me
This review has 78 comments since 2018: 37 from readers, 1 from GrabPoints and 40 replies from me. These are the four things readers write about most.
Most are from 2018 to 2020, when some readers did not get the bonus through my link. GrabPoints fixed the link and credited the points. Today, you get 1,000 points through my link.
Readers asked why they have to verify, and one did not get the SMS code. The phone check at your first cashout is now in this review.
Readers asked how to withdraw and about Skrill. One reader was paid through PayPal in 2 days. My video shows how to withdraw.
Readers report surveys that were not credited and an account deleted over a one-per-household rule. GrabPoints has always paid me.
“i’m actually using Grabpoints is it still paying?”
Mikael: Yes, it is still paying if you do everything honestly. If you have problems with verification, you need to contact their support.
“They gave me a notice that only one household was allowed on their site. … And the next day my whole account was deleted.”
Mikael: Thanks for sharing your experiences.
“this site doesn’t always pay on surveys, in fact over 50% of the surveys completed in 2 weeks were never paid on.”
Mikael: But GrabPoints is no longer one of my favorite sites due to the poor support I have experienced there. However, it has always paid without any issues, in my experience. If you have not been paid for some things you have completed, it might be because you are using an ad blocker as it can then not be tracked.
GrabPoints alternatives I have tested
| Site | Best for | Min. cashout | My rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrizeRebel | Surveys, tasks and offers, with a very low threshold | $5 PayPal; some gift cards from $2 | 4.8 / 5 |
| Prime Opinion | Surveys only, payouts usually within 30 minutes | $5 or $10, by country | 4.6 / 5 |
| ySense | Surveys plus other ways to earn, most countries | $10 PayPal | 4.6 / 5 |
| Swagbucks | Many daily ways to earn, one of the biggest GPT sites | About $5 PayPal; gift cards from 100 SB | 4.3 / 5 |
| Freecash | Offers and games, next to surveys | $5 | 4.2 / 5 |

Who tested GrabPoints for this review
Founder of PaidFromSurveys.com since 2016. Mikael has tested hundreds of survey and GPT sites and shares his tests with 555K+ subscribers on YouTube (October 2026).
Please how do I Cash out on grabpoint.
I explain this in the review above and I also have a video embedded in the review that shows exactly how to do it.
I would suggest not going onto the site.
I did go on and did a lot of surveys when it came time to payout.
They gave me a notice that only one household was allowed on their site.
First of I was not aware of this and I asked family members if they had accounts which they did not.
I did reply to an email which they had sent.
And the next day my whole account was deleted.
So all my effort had gone to waste. And there was no support on the site itself when I tried to query what was going on and what constituted as a household.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
It is convenient that you leave out that this site doesn’t always pay on surveys, in fact over 50% of the surveys completed in 2 weeks were never paid on. They also reversed my 9900 points for completing the “Swagbucks sign up and get 500 points offer” after it being approved initially, has channels to watch that never pay, and don’t respond to emails except with automated responses. On Offer Toro I have received 100% of the coins for my offers on Freecash and less than 20% here. I suggest you actually learn something about the companies you write about before doing so.
First of all, thanks for sharing your experiences.
Secondly, I have censored some of your comment as I do not allow abusive messages here. I welcome any feedback but it needs to be in a proper tone.
I have used GrabPoints for years, and actually have tested and used it A LOT. I have tested all the hundreds of sites I have reviewed and have years of experience with sites like this and I always listen to feedback from my readers and you would know that if you actually took the time to look at my content instead of being busy accusing.
But GrabPoints is no longer one of my favorite sites due to the poor support I have experienced there. However, it has always paid without any issues, in my experience. If you have not been paid for some things you have completed, it might be because you are using an ad blocker as it can then not be tracked. Or if you have used VPN, rushed through surveys, or something similar. You need to talk to their support about this.
Personally, I also by far prefer using Freecash.
I understand you are frustrated but you could just have shared this in proper language instead of taking your frustration out on me. That is no way to communicate.
Hello Sir. i’m actually using Grabpoints is it still paying?
I already have 5728 points and i want to withdraw to my paypall account and it says that sent an message to my number for confirmation, but i never receive a message.
Regarding i’m from Mozambique
Yes, it is still paying if you do everything honestly. If you have problems with verification, you need to contact their support.
Good evening, I really love your work here, but I’ll love it more if you try to include the verification process in sites, don’t hide it, I’ve wasted my time alot signing up for sites that needed face and ID verification and this grabpoint is one of them, please try to include it next time, thank you
I am not trying to hide anything. If you do everything honestly, it should not be a problem to verify your identity when a site asks you for it. They have to do that to avoid fraud as they experience a lot of fraud. And if you are not willing to verify your identity, it sounds like you maybe are trying to hide something?
On the contrary mikael. Not everyone is interested in giving their ID, SSN and other means of identification to non-law enforcement agencies and I believe its well within our rights. So if you really call this a review site, you should make mention of those sites that must violate your right to anonymity before they pay you your hard earned money. I hope you understand.
If you do not want to verify your identity before getting paid on sites like this, you should just not use them.
Sites like this experience A LOT of fraud and they need to have a verification process – if not, they would quickly go out of business because fraudsters would scam them constantly with fake profiles, VPNs, etc.
Personally, I do not have a problem verifying my identity when I know it is a legit site and know they will not abuse it (which the legit sites will not). As you mention, you are within your rights not to verify your identity but then you should also understand that they will in most cases not pay you – and they are within their right to do this. So if you do not want to verify your identity, then you should find other ways to earn.
Hi Mikael,
Thanks for reviewing and summarizing these sites. Your write-ups make for a really good read.
I signed up for Grabpoints after reading your post, and it’s been fine so far (about two weeks). However, I have read some reviews online from Trustpilot and other sites which were very critical of this survey site and its partners/sponsors. Most of the complaints indicated that at first the site is good, but after a period of time, it tries to stiff you on points by introducing error messages or disqualification messages, often after the survey taker has answered a significant part of the survey or even upon finishing the entire survey.
I encountered my first “error” message today after completing a 15 minute survey. It happened right after I hit the button to submit my survey after I answered the last question, so I didn’t receive the survey reward points despite finishing the entire survey. It is only 750 points, and I didn’t take note of the link or anything, so I probably won’t reach out to technical support for this issue, but it did make me wonder how legitimate those complaints are. Any ideas? And any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gillian
Thanks for sharing this Gillian. I have not had any issues like that myself but it definitely sounds frustrating – especially if it happens several times.
I would suggest to take screenshots if it ever happens again and then reach out to their support. How they will deal with it will also tell you a lot.
Let me know how it goes.
Good Day Mikael I am from Jamaica. It is located in the Caribbean. I clicked on the grab points link and it said I’m blocked, can you tell me why is that ? If you have time please check out some survey apps that works even if it doesn’t pay much. Please and thank you.
As I mention in the review, there are some countries that GrabPoints has decided not to accept. They do not say exactly which ones it is, but it seems Jamaica must be one of them.
But you can check out the best worldwide sites here.
And you can also check out Ipsos i-Say that has a specific panel and app for Jamaica.
I can’t even go to this site. Every time I click on the link, I see a page with the inscription: “You’ve Been Blocked!
Blocked
We’ve Detected Something Strange
GrabPoints has detected strange behavior originating from your Internet network. If you believe this message is an error, please contact us and we’ll be happy to investigate. You will not be able to access the site until you have contacted us.
Access denied
This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. “
GrabPoints is available in more or less all countries. But it is blocked from around 20 countries and I know from your earlier messages that you are from Russia and Russia is, unfortunately, one of the countries GrabPoints block.
Hi , which link should I use to sign up because when I clicked the link it said zoombucks
Could you please help me with it
I have heard others having that problem. I have asked GrabPoints about this and they said it had been fixed. But usually, it only redirects if GrabPoints is not available in your country. Which country do you live in? Then I can check if it is a technical error or because of your country.
hello mikael
i am from bangladesh. how can you help me to make survey using usa ip or vps without usa ip or vps no survey is available. along with a gift card/paypal acoount
once i joined any site but survey is not avaiable in our country.
pls helpme a bit to become your member
zikrul
You should never use VPN when taking surveys. It is fraud and you will hurt a lot of business and people by doing this. And most sites will also detect it and ban you.
Bangladesh is not the country with the most survey options. But you can check out this list of worldwide sites you can join from there.
In addition to those platforms, you can check out TGM Panel that has a specific panel for Bangladesh.
And remember many of the platforms also has other earning methods so make sure to use some of these if there are no surveys available.
I want to know that skrill isn’t a payment options now. because In wallet section only shows paypal. can’t I redeem rewards from skrill now.
Thanks for letting me know. As far as I know, Skrill is still available in some countries but not in all. But appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Thanks.
Hey Mikael! My mom made an account on Grabpoints & she used your invite code but she didn’t get the 500 points. It has been more than an hour since she made that account. In general, how much time does it take to get the points after making an account? Do I need to submit a ticket? I have one more query. Now instead of entering your PayPal email ID, they have an option of “Connect with PayPal” which then redirects to a page & says that “Grabpoints will be able to access some of your personal information”, so my issue was that during phone verification sometimes my mom gets an OTP from some survey sites & not from some. (Eg:- She didn’t get an OTP from survey pay.me & I had to use my phone number for automated phone verification, but she did get an OTP from surveytime.io), but since Grabpoints can see my mother’s mobile number from PayPal does she need to use the same mobile no or is it OK if I used mine?
Strange to hear about her not getting the bonus points – I will check up and this an see if there is an error and will get back to you.
About which phone number she has to use, I cannot say for sure. It is better you contact their support about this.
Hey Mikael! My mom just submitted a ticket on Grabpoints regarding the 500 bonus points and 2 minutes after that she received the 500 points in her account. Thanks for all the help.
very glad to hear that. Thanks for updating me about this.
Hello, Maikel,
I enjoy your reviews a lot!
I just wanted to let you know that GrabPoints does not pay through Skrill. It pays cash only through PayPal and American Express. Furthermore, whenever I open your link to GrabPoints, I get the site for Zoombucks, which seems to be a sister company of GrabPoints.
Glad to hear you enjoy my reviews.
GrabPoints does offer Skrill in the country I live in. But there are some differences in the rewards offered depending on the country you live in. Can I ask where you live?
Thanks for letting me know about the link. I have had that error before and was promised it has been fixed but apparently it has not. So thanks for telling me. I will look into this right away.
Thanks
You NEVER mentioned that a phone verification is mandatory to be able to cash out, it’s important that you always do, wasted a lot of time for nothing.
Many sites use some type of verification before you can get paid as they experience a lot of fraud so they need to verify people have not used VPN and they are really who they say before they pay. They also run a business so nothing wrong with asking for verification. Unfortunately, a lot of people try to cheat sites like this and they would not be in business for long if they did not take precautions.
If you have not done anything wrong and if you have not used VPN to make it look like you are from a different country or anything like this, it should not be a problem to verify your account. It only takes 10 seconds and then you will get your money.
If it is because you do not have a phone, you can contact their support and then I am sure they will help you with some other kind of verification.
But I have now also added this to the review. But as mentioned, if you have done everything honestly you will easily be able to get your earnings and will not have wasted your time.
Hello Mikael!
I didn’t get the 500 points automatically!
But he asks for refferal code. When uploading your profile.
Do you have a personal reference code?
Show it!
Hi; fecsa
Hi Fesca,
Sorry about that. But thanks for letting me know. You are not the first one who has experienced this error and GrabPoints has promised me for several weeks to fix it so people joining will automatically get the bonus – it has apparently not happened yet. So thanks for letting me know.
I will reach out to them again and make sure they get in contact so you will get the points you have been promised.
Thanks,
Mikael
I wrote the support.
I received the following answer from them.
“Thanks for contacting GrabPoints Support!
In order to get credited for referrals, the referral must earn at least 1000 points. Once this occurs, you will receive credit based on the country the user is from.
Thanks, GrabPoints Support”
Sounds like an automatic reply that does not really answer the issue you had.
I have also written them and made them aware and told you need to get the points you were promised. I have not heard back yet but hopefully, they will reply soon and then contact you and give you the points.
Let me know when they get back to you.
Hi Mikael
How much id is safe in their hand?
Thanks
What kind of ID have they asked you for? Usually, they need to verify your identity to avoid fraud. Personally, I do not have a problem verifying and giving some details to GrabPoints as I know they are legit and have paid me many times. But how much you feel comfortable sharing with them is up to you. But usually they do not ask for a lot of ID to verify your identity, in my experience.
Hi again!
Positive turn! The 500 points were credited.
True, manually and not automatically. Legalizing your referral points is enough maceration!
Do not you think? But in addition, your writings are very good. I read them with interest.
Thank you Mikael !!! Have a nice day!
Regards; fecsa
Thanks for the update Fesca.
Good to hear you got the points now even though it was a hassle for you. I have been told by them it should be fixed now so people using the invitation link in the future will get them automatically – let’s hope it works like that.
Thanks again for letting me know about the issue and very glad to hear you enjoy my writings.
A great day to you as well.
Mikael
I clicked on your GrabPoints link to sign up and did not get the 500 point bonus. Otherwise I really like the info you have shared here on your post 🙂 Thank you for showing us these great survey sites!
Thank you very much for letting me know Jim.
I have had someone telling me this before and I was promised by GrabPoints that it should have been fixed – but apparently not. So thank you for telling me.
I will write them right away and try to fix it and will also see if there is anything I can do to get you the points you were promised.
Thanks,
Mikael
Hi again Jim,
I have now heard from GrabPoints and there apparently has been a technical glitch so you did not get the points and they will fix they invite link soon. But in the meantime, they said they would write to you with a code so you could get the points you were promised.
So hope you have received the email from them and the points?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mikael
I’ve clicked on your grab points link to sign up today but I did not get the 500 point bonus. I can not also edit my profile to enter my name, phone and address. I really like your reviews. Not bias and full of facts. Hope you can help me.thank you
Hi Mylene,
Thanks for letting me know. I just contacted them about this about a week ago when someone else made me aware. They promised to fix it but apparently, it has not been fixed yet. Thank you very much for letting me know. I have written them again and asked them to make sure you get the promised points.
About you not being able to edit your profile, I am not sure why that is. I would suggest you to ask GrabPoints support about this.
And thanks for the feedback on my reviews. Very glad to hear you like them.
Mikael
Hi, I signed up but I didn’t get my 500 points. Thanks
Thanks for letting me know Joel.
I have been told by GrabPoints that the invitation link will give those free points but seems like something has gone wrong then. Thanks for bringing this to my awareness.
I will contact GrabPoints right away and check what has happened and get back to you as soon as I have an answer.
Mikael
Hi again Joel,
I have now been in touch with GrabPoints and they confirmed to me that the invite code I have on my website should give people 500 free points when joining.
If this is not the case for you, an technical error has happened. So if you can send me an email on mike @ paidfromsurveys.com with the email you used to sign up for GrabPoints, then they have promised to transfer the points manually to you.
I have never heard of GrabPoints. It sounds somewhat similar to Clixsense and Neobux. Both of those have surveys and other offers as well as S’mores Tv. With Clixsesne you get cash in your main balance, not just collecting points, but it is a minimum of $10 to cashout at Clixsense.
Those are the only ones that I have tried only because I have no time to do surveys and other offers on too many of these sites that have the same structure. They do pay and if you want to make a little cash on the side is a perfect way to start making money online.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Shy.
GrabPoints is in some ways similar to ClixSense – they just have different offers and survey opportunities, but both sites are great to join. GrabPoints also pays in cash, but you just get points in your account that can then be exchanged into cash.
Neobux is a bit different and not really worth it in my opinion. It is too confusing, and it also has paid memberships, and to really have a chance of earning there, you would need to pay for upgrades and invite a lot of other people to join. So I see Neobux as quite different, and it is not a site I recommend or use any longer myself.
Mikael
GrabPoints sounds great for a person who has time on their hands. I think this would be a great opportunity for young first time mothers. As it would break the monotony of being home with having a little break time.
What I really like here is that they give you actual rewards, many times you only get coupons or gift certificates to other site, at least here they pay out via Paypal, which means you can have something tangible come into your account.
Thanks for a new lead for people who like to stay at home and make a little extra money.
Your are welcome Jag.
There are luckily by now many survey and get-paid-to sites that pay in cash. GrabPoints is not the only one, but it is definitely one of the sites with the highest rewards for the time spent.
Mikael
I personally tend to avoid these types if things. They can be an ok way to earn a little money. But I think time is usually better spent elsewhere. I do participate in paid surveys sometimes if I’m already just doing something like watching tv. But if there’s anything else more important I say skip the survey. Like you said in your article, you don’t make much money for your valuable time.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Mariah.
You can actually make some quite nice extra money by participating on a survey and get-paid-to sites, once you figure out to do it the most effective way, and if you join several of the high paying ones like for example GrabPoints.
What I say is that you will not be able to make a full-time income with it, and people need to be aware of this, and not have this as the goal, as they will then for sure be disappointed. But it is one of the easiest ways to start making money online, and one of the only ways where you will start earning from day one and have no costs at all.
It all depends on the expectations and goals, but it definitely can be a great way to make some extra money, and also have ones opinion heard at the same time.
Mikael
Hi Mikael! Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you had a great experience using the site – and we’re sure your readers will also enjoy using GrabPoints.
We’d also like to add that processing time is only 48 hours. That’s one of the fastest processing speeds around!
Thank you for letting me know about the processing time. I have now added this info to the review.
Mikael
Yes, your site paid me in 2 days on paypaL and if you got a few hours of time you can earn points on the tap research quickly. I enjoy the site and I had an issue once and they promptly replied and fixed it in a couple days. I hope to stay and be loyal as long as things stay that way.
This is a great Grabpoints review. I haven’t personally heard of Grabpoints prior to reading about it here. I’ve heard of Swagbucks and other sites, but I haven’t been very excited about the earning potential after spending so much time doing the survey. Your graphic showing the comparison between Grabpoints earnings and others like Swagbucks is pretty impressive.
You mentioned that this is not something you could do for a full time income. It seems that you’d make less than minimum wage. What circumstances do you think would be ideal to do something like this? Can minors do these surveys?
Hi Tiffany,
It is possible to make some really nice extra cash, if you live in one of the countries with the most opportunities, but as you say, it should be used as a way to make extra cash and not a way to make a living.
I think it is ideal to make some extra cash when it fits into your schedule – that is how I use it anyways. You can always decide how little or how much you want to do, so it is very flexible.
At the same time I also think it is a great way to have your opinion heard on important topics you would otherwise not have a say about.
Often people forget this aspect of surveys, but the results are actually used, and it is important to express our opinions, and surveys are great for this. And then it is great to get paid for it at the same time:-)
Some sites allow minors to join – I am actually not sure about GrabPoints, as I could not find any info about this. But I will investigate further and get back to you, as soon as I have an answer.

i signed up here for grabpoints but didnt get my 5.00 bonus
Just to make sure – you mean you did not get 500 points in your account after joining through an invitation link on my website?
Or are you referring to the $5 it says on the front page of GrabPoints you can get as a joining bonus? Because the $5 they announce on their front page is an error and not something they actually offer at the moment – I have checked with them, and they said they where going to remove it, as it had just been an internal test. But can see it is still there, even though they do not offer that. I will get in contact with them and let them know.
But just wanted to check that you for sure did not get 500 points as a joining bonus through my website? Because then there is an error with the invitation link I got, and I need to have it fixed asap.
Thanks for letting me know.
Mikael
i didnt get either one
Strange you did not get the 500 points. I will follow up with GrabPoints and see what might have happened. The $5 you saw advertised on the GrabPoints website was an error on their website as mentioned earlier, and it is not announced there any more either. A bit annoying and sorry to hear if that confused you.
But will contact them right away and check up on the 500 points you should have received through my invite link. Anyways, I hope you will still enjoy the platform and feel free to keep me updated about how you like it.

what do you know about Surveyclub? i recently received email from then requesting me to do surveys.
I have not yet made a review of SurveyClub but planning to soon. However, it is not as such a survey site – you will only get access to a small list of other survey sites you then have to go and join. It is the same company that has SurveyScout, and it looks like the two sites are offering the same, and they are not worth it in my opinion. You can check out my review of SurveyScout for now to get a bit more info.
Mikael
I think Prolific academy was in your top survey list, but not sure if its working yet but their blog says that paypals are instant now,..they used to pay on tuesdays and fridays. just info for you. thank you
Thank you very much for letting me know Darlene.
I will look into it and make sure to update my Prolific review with the new info.
Thanks,
Mikael
Hi again Tiffany,
Just wanted to let you know that I have now found out that GrabPoints is available to minors. It is possible to join for anyone that has turned 13 years.
Mikael
Wow, what an informative article! I am always seeing paid survey sites out there and I never know if they’re legit or if they’re a scam. I’m glad to hear that this one is legit. I’m definitely going to have to try it out.
I have tried some others in the past and found that I qualify for very few surveys and the ones I did qualify for paid very little in rewards. It was incredibly frustrating. Hopefully GrabPoints is better.
Glad you likes the article Taylor.
On more or less all survey sites you will not qualify for all surveys. What I have found is that if you spend some time testing, you will be able to figure out what kind of surveys you mostly qualify for, and what kind you almost never qualify for.
Then I just focus on the ones with the biggest chance of qualifying, and then it does not become so frustrating, as it otherwise can be.
Hope you will enjoy GrabPoints and let me know, if you have any question about it.
Mikael
YEAH YOU CAN EARN POINTS QUICK I SEE, HAVENT BEEN ON THERE BUT COUPLE TIMES, BUT WENT THRU HISTORY, AND NO I DEF DID NOT RECEIVE THOSE POINTS.AND MYSURVEY IS ANNOYING ME. THEY HAD A COUPLE SURVEYS STOP AFTER COMPLETION, IVE SENT SCREENSHOTS AND SURVEY NUMBERS, TRYING TO GIVE ME EXPLANTIONS THAT DO NOT EVEN REPLY TO WHAT I AM TELLING THEM, AND IM STILL WAITING ON 2 PP REQUESTS . NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THEM OR NOT, IM WEIGHING IT OUT,THEY WERE GOOD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TURNING SOUR.
I am having my contact at GrabPoints look into the issue about the missing points – will get back to you, when I hear back.
Sorry to hear about the issue with MySurvey. Hope they will get back to you soon. Keep me updated.
Mikael
well mysurvey finally paid me, and im trying to sort this confusion with screening out on completion. I see i just got the promo code for the 500 points for Grabpoints, ty so much. Ill keep you posted on anything else.
Great to hear everything has worked out. Thanks for keeping me updated.
Mikael
Yes the Mysurvey has issues. Tap Research is the EASIEST way to earn on Grabpoints, since you earn for every survey, whether 7 points for those you don’t qualify for, to higher amounts for partials, then higher amounts for completion. It does add up quickly.
Thanks for sharing your experience Leanne.
Mikael
I like it. I might actually sign up. Like you said not an income but some extra cash…coffee money during the week. I’ll give it a go..if i find that it takes up too much time for too little reward, I’ll just stop.
Thanks for the info. Now onto the surveys.
Great to hear Dave. Hope you will like it, and feel free to come back and let me know how it goes.
Mikael
