Viewsbank

Hi guys,

I've been invited to join 'VeiwsBank'. I was wondering if anyone had used them and whether they are a genuine company. If so, do they pay well and is it worth signing up?

Thanks,

Laura x

    I answer surveys for them. They don't have very many (or I might just not get offered that many), but they're usually quick and you get paid better than others. I do like the site a lot though and the guys who run it are pretty good, so if you think the missed tracking a survey, they'll credit you for it.

    I use Viewsbank. The surveys are a few pence but the cash out is only £6.

    I think it's one of the nicest survey sites around - and they do cough up!!
  • I use Viewsbank and they do pay but I find it very difficult to get any surveys as they seem to be very few and far between. It may just be that I'm not sent as many as other people as I don't match what some surveys are looking for though. Although they are a legit site I find it hard to make any money with them.

    I find it pays to go to the website and check for surveys. I find it one of the better paying sites, but you cant just wait for emails

    Then are known as being a friendly site especially the forums. But money wise they are one of the worst for me anyway. I joined that one along with yougov and panelbase about a month before all the others. I recently cashed out my first £10 at panelbase and have cashed out on several others which i joined a month later.
    With viewsbank i joined 20th Feb , have done only 8 so far totaling £2.81 . I wouldn't have it as a main survey site but it's worth joining anyway. Surveys are quick , payment threshold is low and as other have said seems they do pay out and sort out queries.

    I like Viewsbank, it's not a major earner, but worthwhile- especially if you get picked for one of their 'mystery shopping' type surveys- usually around the time your insurance for car or home is due for renewal. Fastest and easiest way to earn £25 I've ever found!

    Otherwise, you have to keep checking the website for surveys, they rarely email out. They only pay pence, but still worth it IMHO. I've always signed up to be contacted about surveys by a journalist, for say £50 cash- but I've never been picked.

    Reliable and pay is automatic, a big plus!

    Viewsbank is a good reliable survey site with a very low threshold of just £6.00. However, the survey frequency is very low and most of the times you have to log in to their website to see if there are any surveys there. But if you reach the minimum £6.00 mark you do not need to do anything as the site will send it to you Paypal account on a specific date. But you need to provide them with your Paypal account details in the profile settings page. They run this cycle on that particular date every month and send payments to people who cross the limit of £6.00. However, having said that, I have been with them for over a year and only managed to be at £5.81 as I hardly get any surveys but I hope in another month or two I will be able to reach £6.00 and receive the amount in my Paypal account. All the best!

    I refuse to get a paypal account.
    I had one once and they locked my account stole £50 from me and tried to take me to court for $2000!
    It was a nightmare!
    Why is this happening more and more and why cant they give you a choice say bacs or paypal
    Is there a list of survey companies that dont make you have a paypal account???

    You must have done something wrong. I've been with Paypal since 2005 and never had any issues!
