Service & Snafus

Learn about customer service and potential issues with Media Rewards and PointClub before you sign up.

Media RewardsPointClub
Media Rewards

Media Rewards is really on the ball when it comes to responding to inquiries. They are very active and want to make sure you’re getting rewarded and your info is valid. Most users report getting responses to their inquiries within a few hours. Believe it or not they actually have phone support which is quite the rarity these days.

PointClub
Media Rewards

As with many programs, the main concern most users think of when deciding to join Media Rewards is privacy concerns. Fortunately, the company has an extensive privacy policy that should address any issues you may have.

Though you might be concerned about battery life and performance with a largely app-based program, there's no need to be concerned. Media Insiders' app is very lightweight and you shouldn't notice any additional battery drain or decreased performance of your mobile device.

PointClub

PointClub certainly has a lot of surveys for you to take, but you may want to stay away from the "paid trial offers" if you want to stick to paid market research. While you will get paid for signing up for various offers, you may be required to pay for trial periods, which can get a bit tricky. If you do not cancel your trial within a particular time frame, you are charged for the amount of the service or product and may not receive enough compensation to make up the difference.
